Question 930
Original unofficial RHEL 10 RHCSA skill-check scenario: A new server receives a static IPv4 address but its NetworkManager connection has no default gateway. Which observation best confirms the intended outcome?
Explanation
Correct Answer
In this RHEL 10 system administration case: A new server receives a static IPv4 address but its NetworkManager connection has no default gateway. Underlying reason: An IP address alone does not provide a route to remote networks. The most direct, approved resolution is: Set the approved IPv4 gateway in the correct `nmcli connection` profile and activate it safely. Confirm it by checking: `ip route` lists the intended default route and off-subnet tests succeed. Sustain the fix by: Include gateway checks during interface configuration. This is the INTENDED response for the strongest objective verification result. It is a knowledge-check explanation, not a verified hands-on Red Hat exam answer;
Incorrect Answers
Route lookup and neighbor resolution follow the intended subnet boundaries. That is not sufficient for the reported RHEL task, because an IP address alone does not provide a route to remote networks.
Resolver lookups return the intended current service IP. That is not sufficient for the reported RHEL task, because an IP address alone does not provide a route to remote networks.
`ip -6 route` shows the intended default path and external IPv6 tests succeed. That is not sufficient for the reported RHEL task, because an IP address alone does not provide a route to remote networks.
