A computer has to send a packet to a destination host in the same LAN. How will thepacket 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

Which statement describes a feature of the IP protocol?

IP relies on upper layer services to handle situations of missing or out-of-order packets.
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 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

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.
