Which of the following meet the IP addressing and routing requirements?

A cloud networking engineer is troubleshooting the corporate office’s network configuration. Employees in the IT and operations departments are unable to resolve IP addresses on all devices, and the IT department cannot establish a connection to other departments’ subnets.

The engineer identifies the following configuration currently in place to support the office network:

Each employee needs to connect to the network with a maximum of three hosts. Each subnet must be segregated, but the IT department must have the ability to communicate with all subnets.

Which of the following meet the IP addressing and routing requirements? (Select two).
A . Modifying the subnet mask to 255 255 254.0 for IT and operations departments
B . Configuring static routing to allow access from each subnet to 10.1.40.1
C . Modifying the BYOD policy to reduce the volume of devices that are allowed to connect to the corporate network
D . Configuring static routing to allow access from 10.1.30.1 to each subnet
E . Combining the subnets and increasing the allocation of IP addresses available to support three hosts for each employee
F . Modifying the subnet mask to 255.255.255.128 for the IT and operations departments

Answer: D, F

Explanation:

To meet the requirements of allowing the IT department to communicate with all subnets while keeping each department segregated and ensuring a maximum of three hosts per employee, two actions are required. First, configuring static routing from the IT subnet (10.1.30.1) to each of the other subnets would establish the necessary connectivity. Second, modifying the subnet mask to 255.255.255.128 for the IT and operations departments would provide the needed number of host addresses while maintaining subnet segregation.

Reference: This solution is based on networking and subnetting principles, which are part of the foundational knowledge for cloud networking within the CompTIA Cloud+ framework.
