Solution

The IPv4 address of the router interface that is connected to the same LAN should be configured as the default gateway address of a client device.

Here's why:

  1. The default gateway is the device that routes traffic from the local network to devices on other networks. In most home and small business networks, this device is a router.

  2. The router interface that is connected to the same LAN as the client device is the point where traffic leaves the local network. This interface has an IP address that is used by devices on the local network as their default gateway.

  3. The Layer 2 address of the switch port that is connected to the workstation is not suitable because this is a physical address, not a network address. Devices use network addresses (like IP addresses) to route traffic.

  4. The Layer 2 address of the switch management interface is also not suitable for the same reason.

  5. The IPv4 address of the router interface that is connected to the internet is not suitable because this address is not on the same network as the client device. The default gateway must be on the same network as the device that is using it.
