A computer has to send a packet to a destination host in the same LAN. How will the packet be sent?
* The packet will be sent to the default gateway first, and then, depending on the response from the gateway, it may be sent to the destination host.
* The packet will be sent directly to the destination host.
* The packet will first be sent to the default gateway, and then from the default gateway it will be sent directly to the destination host.
* The packet will be sent only to the default gateway.
The packet will be sent directly to the destination host.
A router receives a packet from the Gigabit 0/0 interface and determines that the packet needs to be forwarded out the Gigabit 0/1 interface. What will the router do next?
* route the packet out the Gigabit 0/1 interface
* create a new Layer 2 Ethernet frame to be sent to the destination
* look into the ARP cache to determine the destination IP address
* look into the routing table to determine if the destination network is in the routing table

Which statement describes a feature of the IP protocol?

Why is NAT not needed in IPv6?
* Because IPv6 has integrated security, there is no need to hide the IPv6 addresses of internal networks.
* Any host or user can get a public IPv6 network address because the number of available IPv6 addresses is extremely large.
* The problems that are induced by NAT applications are solved because the IPv6 header improves packet handling by intermediate routers.
* The end-to-end connectivity problems that are caused by NAT are solved because the number of routes increases with the number of nodes that are connected to the Internet.
Any host or user can get a public IPv6 network address because the number of available IPv6 addresses is extremely large.
Which parameter does the router use to choose the path to the destination when there are multiple routes available?
* the lower metric value that is associated with the destination network
* the lower gateway IP address to get to the destination network
* the higher metric value that is associated with the destination network
* the higher gateway IP address to get to the destination network
the lower metric value that is associated with the destination network
What are two services provided by the OSI network layer? (Choose two.)
* performing error detection
* routing packets toward the destination
* encapsulating PDUs from the transport layer
* placement of frames on the media
* collision detection
- routing packets toward the destination
- encapsulating PDUs from the transport layer
Within a production network, what is the purpose of configuring a switch with a default gateway address?
* Hosts that are connected to the switch can use the switch default gateway address to forward packets to a remote destination.
* A switch must have a default gateway to be accessible by Telnet and SSH.
* The default gateway address is used to forward packets originating from the switch to remote networks.
* It provides a next-hop address for all traffic that flows through the switch.
The default gateway address is used to forward packets originating from the switch to remote networks.
What is a basic characteristic of the IP protocol?

Time-to-Live
What is one advantage that the IPv6 simplified header offers over IPv4?
* smaller-sized header

* The device has end-to-end connectivity.
* DHCP is working correctly.
* The Ethernet cable is working correctly.
* The device has the correct IP address on the network.
The TCP/IP stack on the device is working correctly.
What routing table entry has a next hop address associated with a destination network?
* directly-connected routes
* local routes
* remote routes
* C and L source routes
remote routes
How do hosts ensure that their packets are directed to the correct network destination?
* They have to keep their own local routing table that contains a route to the loopback interface, a local network route, and a remote default route.
* They always direct their packets to the default gateway, which will be responsible for the packet delivery.
* They search in their own local routing table for a route to the network destination address and pass this information to the default gateway.
* They send a query packet to the default gateway asking for the best route.
They have to keep their own local routing table that contains a route to the loopback interface, a local network route, and a remote default route.
When transporting data from real-time applications, such as streaming audio and video, which field in the IPv6 header can be used to inform the routers and switches to maintain the same path for the packets in the same conversation?

What statement describes the function of the Address Resolution Protocol?
