Answer 12

Network Identifier (network ID)

Question 13

With Class C networks and addresses, the first ____ octets define the group.

Answer 13

three

Question 14

With Class A networks and addresses, the ____ octet defines the group.

Answer 14

first

Question 15

With Class B networks and addresses, the first ____ octets define the group.

Answer 15

two

Question 16

What is the first step of the Router Forwarding Logic?

Answer 16

Step 1. Use the data link Frame Check Sequence (FCS) field to ensure that the frame had no errors; if errors occured, discard the frame.

Question 17

What is the second step of the Router Forwarding Logic?

Answer 17

Step 2. Assuming that the frame was not discarded at Step 1, discard the old data link header and trailer, leaving the IP packet.

Question 18

What is the third step of the Router Forwarding Logic?

Answer 18

Step 3. Compare the IP packet’s destination IP address to the routing table, and find the route that best matches the destination address. This route identifies the outgoing interface of the router, and possibly the next-hop router IP address.

Question 19

What is the fourth step of the Router Forwarding Logic?

Answer 19

Step 4. Encapsulate the IP packet inside a new data link header and trailer, appropriate for the outgoing interface, and forward the frame.

Question 20

TCP/IP defines the _______ ________ ________ as the method by which any host or router on a LAN can dynamically learn the MAC address of another IP host or router on the same LAN.

Answer 20

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)

Question 21

ARP defines a protocol that includes the ARP Request, which is a message that asks the simple request ___________.

Answer 21

“if this is your IP address, please reply with your MAC address”

Answer 25

d. 1 - 126

Question 26

PC1 and PC2 are on two different Ethernet LANs that are seperated by an IP router. PC1's IP address is 10.1.1.1, and no subnetting is used. Which of the following addresses could be used for PC2? (Choose two) a. 10.1.1.2 b. 10.2.2.2 c. 10.200.200.1 d. 9.1.1.1 e. 225.1.1.1 f. 1.1.1.1

Question 27

Imagine a network with two routers that are connected with a point-to-point HDLC serial link. Each router has an Ethernet, with PC1 sharing the Ethernet with Router1 and PC2 sharing the Ethernet with Router2. When PC1 sends data to PC2, which of the following is true? a. Router1 strips the Ethernet header and trailer off the frame received from PC1, never to be used again b. Router1 encapsulates the Ethernet frame inside an HDLC header and sends the frame to Router2, which extracts the Ethernet frame for forwarding to PC2. c. Router1 strips the Ethernet header and trailer off the frame received from PC1, which is exactly re-created by Router 2 before forwarding data to PC2. d. Router1 removes the Ethernet, IP, and TCP headers and rebuilds the appropriate headers before forwarding the packet to Router2.
