What should be the default gateway address for clients within the 192.168.10.0 subnet configured on CorpDHCP?

The default gateway address for clients within a specific subnet is typically set to be an IP address that is within that same subnet and is designated for routing traffic to other networks. In the case of the 192.168.10.0 subnet, valid addresses could range from 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.10.254, with several addresses potentially available depending on the network configuration.

Address selection relies on assigning a usable IP that clients will use to reach outside their local network. In this scenario, 192.168.10.5 is a reasonable choice as a default gateway. It is well within the available range and leaves space for other devices on the network. A lower address is often preferred for default gateways because it is conventional for network administrators to assign the first few addresses to critical devices such as routers or switches.

The other options also fall within the valid range for the subnet, but may not align with the common practice or specific configurations of the network in question. For instance, addresses like 192.168.10.21 or 192.168.10.199 might be reserved or already assigned to other devices, while 192.168.10.254 could also be reserved for another critical
