A is the correct Based on the information provided in the scenario, the most likely cause of the issue is that the user’s internet connection is down (option A). This would explain why the user is unable to access any of the organization’s servers or network items and why web pages are not functioning. However, since the user can still access local file folders and other local machines, it suggests that their local network is still functioning. The user can access local file folders and other local machines but none of the organization's servers or network items, indicating that the issue is with the user's internet connection, not with the user's domain account, switch, or IP address.

When a user receives a notification indicating that there is limited or no connectivity, it means that their device is unable to establish a connection to the network. In this scenario, the user can access local file folders and other local machines but is unable to access any of the organization’s servers or network items and web pages are not functioning. This suggests that the issue is with the user’s internet connection.

An internet connection allows a device to communicate with other devices and servers outside of its local network. If the internet connection is down or not functioning properly, the device will be unable to access any resources outside of its local network. This would explain why the user in this scenario can still access local resources but is unable to access any of the organization’s servers or network items.

This should be like having a developmental web server on your system, you don't need to connect to the internet before you access the files. So the answer is A

If the user's switch had stopped working, it would likely affect all network connectivity, not just external access. The symptoms described seem more indicative of an issue beyond the user's local network.

Selected Answer: C

the users can still access some local machines but not other servers inside the network. A broken switch could prevent you from going outside of your segment. The other 3 would seem to indicate no access at all.

To me this screams "C", the users can still access some local machines but not other servers inside the network. A broken switch could prevent you from going outside of your segment. The other 3 would seem to indicate no access at all.

If the switch was "broken", the user would not be able to access other local machines either. Local means on the same subnet, so the switch would need to work in order to switch traffic on the same subnet/vlan. Presumably the servers are on a different subnet, so the user is not able to go beyond their default gateway. Answer is A.

When setting up a network or using your PC, you may get an error message saying you're connected to a network with limited access or limited connectivity. Usually, when you get this error, you are unable to access the Internet. However, limited means that you still can access locally shared files and folders.

The answer cannot be A because it mentions that the internet connection is limited. how can the internet connection be down if its limited. Doesnt make sense.

It does not say the internet connection is limited, it says "limited connectivity". It is clear from the description that the user can only access resources within their subnet, i.e. local resources. That means no Internet access.
