What IP address would your computer send messages to in order to reach a computer outside the subnetwork? Provide it exactly as formatted in the ipconfig command's output.

1 answer

To determine the IP address your computer would send messages to in order to reach a computer outside its subnetwork, you would typically look for the "Default Gateway" entry in the output of the ipconfig command. This address is used by your computer to communicate with devices outside of its local subnetwork.

To find this information, you would run the following command in your command prompt or terminal:

ipconfig

Look for a line that says "Default Gateway" under your active network connection. The IP address listed there is the one your computer would use to send messages outside the subnetwork.

For example, the output might look like this:

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

In this example, the IP address you would use to reach computers outside the subnetwork is 192.168.1.1. The exact address will vary depending on your network configuration.
