A technician is trying to determine the reason why a Linux server is not communicating on a network.
The returned network configuration is as follows: eth0: flags=4163<UP, BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 127.0.0.1 network 255.255.0.0 broadcast 127.0.0.1 Which of the following BEST describes what is happening?
A.
The server is configured to use DHCP on a network that has multiple scope options B.
The server is configured to use DHCP, but the DHCP server is sending an incorrect subnet mask C.
The server is configured to use DHCP on a network that does not have a DHCP server D.
The server is configured to use DHCP, but the DHCP server is sending an incorrect MTU setting.
B.

The returned network configuration is as follows: eth0: flags=4163&lt;UP, BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST&gt; mtu 1500 inet 127.0.0.1 network 255.255.0.0 broadcast 127.0.0.1 Which of the following BEST describes what is happening?
A.
The server is configured to use DHCP on a network that has multiple scope options
B.
The server is configured to use DHCP, but the DHCP server is sending an incorrect subnet mask
C.
The server is configured to use DHCP on a network that does not have a DHCP server
D.
The server is configured to use DHCP, but the DHCP server is sending an incorrect MTU setting.
B.
The network configuration displayed shows the following information:
The IP address 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address for the server, meaning that the server is not communicating on the network, but rather with itself. This suggests that there is an issue with the network configuration.
Option A is incorrect because it suggests that the server is configured to use DHCP on a network that has multiple scope options, which does not provide any indication of the problem.
Option B is incorrect because it suggests that the DHCP server is sending an incorrect subnet mask, which is not relevant to the given network configuration.
Option C is incorrect because it suggests that the server is configured to use DHCP on a network that does not have a DHCP server, which is not relevant to the given network configuration.
Option D is also incorrect because it suggests that the DHCP server is sending an incorrect MTU setting, which is not relevant to the given network configuration.
Therefore, the BEST option that describes what is happening is B: the server is configured to use DHCP, but the DHCP server is sending an incorrect subnet mask. This could cause the server to be assigned an incorrect IP address or be unable to communicate with other devices on the network.
