Question 439
Correct Answer: B
The subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 is incorrect for a typical local network setup. This subnet mask designates a single IP address and effectively isolates the device, preventing communication with other devices on the network. Changing the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 (or another suitable subnet mask) would allow the device to communicate with other devices on the same network. This is why the technician should edit the subnet mask.
