During a routine hardware refresh, an administrator replaces a router. After the swap, one network range is unreachable from its default gateway, while other ranges remain functional. Which action best addresses the problem?
Enable bridging on the newly installed hardware
Reassign IP addresses for the unresponsive portion
Allow the unresponsive traffic tag on the switch port connecting the device
Allowing the unresponsive traffic tag on the link ensures data arrives at the router for that specific range. Extending address allocations, reassigning IPs, or enabling bridging do not fix a misconfigured trunk link that is dropping the segment’s traffic.
