Exploring the Functions of Routing Flashcards
You have just finished configuring your router. Which router component will store the router configuration even after the router powers down?
A. RAM
B. flash memory
C. NVRAM
D. ROM
C. NVRAM
Which routing table element describes the IPv4 address of the successive neighboring device?
A. network IPv4 address
B. exit interface
C. metric
D. next hop
D. next hop
Refer to the show ip route command output from RouterA above. If you ping a device in the network 172.23.0.0 from the router, what does the router do with the packets?
A. It drops the packets.
B. It forwards the packets to next-hop address 10.1.1.1.
C. It forwards the packets to next-hop address 10.1.1.2.
D. It forwards the packets to network 172.16.1.0/24.
E. It forwards the packets to next-hop address 192.168.10.2.
F. It delivers the packets directly to the device on network 172.23.0.0.
B. It forwards the packets to next-hop address 10.1.1.1.
The correct answer is “It forwards the packets to next-hop address 10.1.1.1.” The router forwards the packets to the default gateway, 10.1.1.1, because the packets are destined for a network that is not explicitly found in the routing table.
Which statement about the administrative distance feature of Cisco routers is correct?
A. Static routes have a default administrative distance of 1 and therefore pre-empt all other entries for that destination network.
B. Routing protocols have an administrative distance of 4.
C. The higher the administrative distance value, the more reliable the source.
D. Administrative distance represents the trustworthiness of the route source.
E. Administrative distance represents the number of router interfaces that a packet must travel through before reaching its destination.
D. Administrative distance represents the trustworthiness of the route source.
The correct answer is “Administrative distance defines the trustworthiness of the route source.” Routers use administrative distance to select the best path when they learn two or more different routes to the same destination. Administrative distance defines the reliability of the route source—the smaller the administrative distance value, the more trusted the source.
If all of the following were offered to the routing table, which two would be chosen to be included in the routing table? (Choose two.)
A. Manually entered information about the 172.16.3.0/24 network.
B. EIGRP information about the 172.16.3.0/24 network.
C. OSPF offered information about the 172.16.3.0/24 network.
D. OSPF information about the 172.16.0.0/16 network.
E. EIGRP information about the 172.16.0.0/16 network.
A. Manually entered information about the 172.16.3.0/24 network.
E. EIGRP information about the 172.16.0.0/16 network.
In a routing table, what is an optional entry that is used when no explicit path to a destination is found?
A. static route
B. directly connected route
C. OSPF route
D. default route
D. default route
Which two statements describe key functions of a router? (Choose two.)
A. path determination
B. packet forwarding
C. log collection
D. frame switching
E. signal regeneration
A. path determination
B. packet forwarding
Which statement correctly describes the role of a router?
A. Routers are responsible only for reaching hosts that are in the local network.
B. Routers use a MAC table to route between networks.
C. Routers are required to reach hosts that are not in the local network.
D. Routers use an ARP table to route between networks.
C. Routers are required to reach hosts that are not in the local network.
What does the letter D that is associated with the following routing table entry represent?
A. The route is learned by OSPF.
B. The route is learned by EIGRP.
C. The route is static.
D. The route is learned by DMVPN.
B. The route is learned by EIGRP.
Which two types of ports are available on a router? (Choose two.)
A. network ports
B. console ports
C. AUX ports
D. debug ports
E. management ports
F. monitoring ports
A. network ports
F. monitoring ports
What is the default administrative distance for OSPF?
A. 110
B. 115
C. 90 for internal route and 170 for external route
D. 170 for internal route and 90 for external route
A. 110

O 192.168.3.0/24 [110/229840] via 10.1.1.3
A. via 10.1.1.2, an IPv4 address on this router (RouterX)
B. via 10.1.1.2, an IPv4 address on a remote router
