A. It is used to map a 32-bit IP address to a 48-bit ethernet address.
B. It is used to map a 48-bit ethernet address to a 32-bit IP address.
C. It is used to map a 32-bit ethernet address to a 48-bit IP address.

It is used to map a 32-bit IP address to a 48-bit ethernet address.
ARP request is broadcast and ARP reply is _______.
a. broadcast
b. multicast
c. unicast
d. none of the above
c. unicast
Which of the following is the ethernet broadcast address used in ARP and RARP requests? A. 255.255.255.255 B. 08:00:20:11:aa:01 C. ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff D. 224.0.0.0
C. ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
What is the purpose of the DHCP server?
A to provide storage for email
B to translate URLs to IP addresses
C to translate IPv4 addresses to MAC addresses
D to provide an IP configuration information to hosts
to provide an IP configuration information to hosts

During error reporting, ICMP always reports error messages to which node? a. Destination b. Source c. Next router d. Previous router
Source
Which of these is not a type of error-reporting message? A. Destination unreachable B. Source quench C. Router error D. Time exceeded
Router error
The TTL field has value 13. How many routers (max) can process this datagram? A. 11 B. 5 C. 10 D. 1
10
Explanation: ttl stands for time to live. This field specifies the life of the ip packet based on the number of hops it makes (number of routers it goes through). ttl field is decremented by one each time the datagram is processed by a router. when the value is 0, the packet is automatically destroyed.

What should be the flag value M to indicate the last fragment?
a) 0
b) 1
c) TTl value
d) Protocol field value
0
Explanation: The Flag field in the IP header is used to control and identify the fragments. It contains three bits: reserved, don’t fragment and more fragments. If the more fragments bit is 0, it means that the fragment is the last fragment.
- Which field helps to check rearrangement of the fragments in IPv4?
a) offset
b) flag
c) ttl
d) identifer
Offset
The Fragment Offset field specifies where the fragment fits in the original datagram. The offset of the first fragment will always be 0. The size of the field (13 bits) is 3-bits shorter than the size of the total length field (16 bits).
If the value in protocol field is 2, which protocol should be used in IPv4
header?
.Which one fields of an IP header cannot be modified by a typical IP router? a. Checksum b. Source address c. Time To Live (TTL) d. Length
Source address
What is the size of the header checksum field in IPv4 header (in
bytes)?
16 bits
True
Name the fields that are related to fragmentation and reassembly of an IPv4 datagram? A. Identification B. Flags C. Fragment Offset field D. All of the above
All of the above
A router receives an IPv4 packet with the flag values D=0 and needs to do fragmentation because of smaller MTU on the outgoing
interface. What does the router do?
A. drop the packet if the Don’t Fragment (DF) flag bit is set in the packet’s header and send an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) message which indicates the condition Fragmentation Needed
B. fragment the packet and send it over the link with a smaller MTU.
fragment the packet and send it over the link with a smaller MTU.
Explanation: if the value is 0 packet can be fragmented as necessary
What is The maximum number that IPv4 addresses can have?
32 bits or 2^32
while IPv6 has 128 bits
What are the limitations of IPv4 addresses?
a. The lack of address space (IP adress depletion)
b. Internet routing table expansion
c. Lack of end to end connectivity
d. Lack of quality of service support
e. all of the above
all of the above
Which of the following is incorrect about Network Address Translation
(NAT)?
A. NAT is a process in which one or more local IP address is translated into one or more Global IP address and vice versa.
B. NAT results in switching path delays.
C. Certain applications will not function while NAT is enabled
D. c
NAT results in switching path delays
What is the other name for Port Address Translation (PAT)?
a. porting
b. port overloading
c. port-level multiplexed NA
d. single address NAT.
e. all of the above
all of the above
