In order for packets to be sent to a remote destination, what three pieces of information must be
configured on a host? (Choose three.)
hostname
IP address
subnet mask
default gateway
DNS server address
DHCP server address
A host can use its IP address and subnet mask to determine if a destination is on the same network or
on a remote network. If it is on a remote network, the host will need a configured default gateway in
order to send packets to the remote destination. DNS servers translate names into IP addresses, and
DHCP servers are used to automatically assign IP addressing information to hosts. Neither of these
servers has to be configured for basic remote connectivity.

Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator has configured R1 as shown. When the administrator
checks the status of the serial interface, the interface is shown as being administratively down. What
additional command must be entered on the serial interface of R1 to bring the interface up?
IPv6 enable
clockrate 128000
end
no shutdown
By default all router interfaces are shut down. To bring the interfaces up, an administrator must issue
the no shutdown command in interface mode.

What is one feature that distinguishes routers from Layer 2 switches?
Routers can be configured with IP addresses. Switches cannot.
Switches move packets from one physical interface to another. Routers do not.
Switches use tables of information to determine how to process data traffic. Routers do not.
Routers support a variety of interface types. Switches typically support Ethernet interfaces.
Routers can support a variety of interfaces for connecting to WANs, such as serial, DSL, and wireless.
Switches typically connect to LANs and only support Ethernet standards, such as Fast Ethernet or Gigabit
Ethernet. Both routers and switches can be configured with IP addresses and can move packets from
one interface to another. They also both use tables of data, such as routing tables and MAC address
tables, to determine how to process data traffic.

Which command is used to configure an IPv6 address on a router interface so that the router will
combine a manually specified network prefix with an automatically generated interface identifier?
ipv6 enable
ipv6 address ipv6-address/prefix-length
ipv6 address ipv6-address/prefix-length eui-64
ipv6 address ipv6-address/prefix-length link-local

The eui-64 parameter in the ipv6 address command specifies that the router should combine the
configured network prefix with an automatically generated interface identifier. The link-local parameter
tells the router to use this address as a link-local address rather than the automatically derived link-local
address. Using the command ipv6 enable instructs the router to use router advertisements to
automatically determine both the network prefix and the interface identifier.

The command show ip interface brief shows the IP address of each interface, as well as the operational
status of the interfaces at both Layer 1 and Layer 2. In order to see interface descriptions and speed and
duplex settings, use the command show running-config interface. Next-hop addresses are displayed in
the routing table with the command show ip route, and the MAC address of an interface can be seen
with the command show interfaces.

When a computer is pinging another computer for the first time, what type of message does it place on
the network to determine the MAC address of the other device?
an ICMP ping
an ARP request
an RFI (Request for Information) message
a multicast to any Layer 3 devices that are connected to the local network
An ARP request is used to determine any unknown MAC address when the destination IP address is
known. In an IPv4-based network, this request is sent as a Layer 2 broadcast.

Refer to the exhibit. PC1 attempts to connect to File_server1 and sends an ARP request to obtain a
destination MAC address. Which MAC address will PC1 receive in the ARP reply?
the MAC address of S1
the MAC address of the G0/0 interface on R1
the MAC address of the G0/0 interface on R2
the MAC address of S2
the MAC address of File_server1
PC1 must have a MAC address to use as a destination Layer 2 address. PC1 will send an ARP request as a
broadcast and R1 will send back an ARP reply with its G0/0 interface MAC address. PC1 can then
forward the packet to the MAC address of the default gateway, R1.

A packet moves from a host on one network to a device on a remote network within the same company.
If NAT is not performed on the packet, which two items remain unchanged during the transfer of the
packet from source to destination? (Choose two.)
destination IP address

source ARP table

source IP address
source MAC address
destination MAC address
Layer 2 header
The source and destination IP addresses normally remain constant when sending data from one
computer in a company to a remote computer in the same company. The port numbers also normally
stay the same. The MAC addresses change as the packet moves in one router interface to an outbound
router Ethernet interface. ARP tables are constantly changing as entries age and are removed.

Which two items are used by a host device when performing an ANDing operation to determine if a
destination address is on the same local network? (Choose two.)
destination IP address
destination MAC address
source MAC address
subnet mask
network number
The result of ANDing any IP address with a subnet mask is a network number. If the source network
number is the same as the destination network number, the data stays on the local network. If the
destination network number is different, the packet is sent to the default gateway (the router that will
send the packet onward toward the destination network).

Refer to the exhibit. What will the router do with a packet that has a destination IP address of
192.168.12.227?
Drop the packet.
Send the packet out the Serial0/0/0 interface.
Send the packet out the GigabitEthernet0/0 interface.
Send the packet out the GigabitEthernet0/1 interface.
After a router determines the destination network by ANDing the destination IP address with the subnet
mask, the router examines the routing table for the resulting destination network number. When a
match is found, the packet is sent to the interface associated with the network number. When no
routing table entry is found for the particular network, the default gateway or gateway of last resort (if
configured or known) is used. If there is no gateway of last resort, the packet is dropped. In this
instance, the 192.168.12.224 network is not found in the routing table and the router uses the gateway
of last resort. The gateway of last resort is the IP address of 209.165.200.226. The router knows this is
an IP address that is associated with the 209.165.200.224 network. The router then proceeds to
transmit the packet out the Serial0/0/0 interface, or the interface that is associated with
209.165.200.224.

Which two statements correctly describe the concepts of administrative distance and metric? (Choose
two.)
Administrative distance refers to the trustworthiness of a particular route.
A router first installs routes with higher administrative distances.
The value of the administrative distance can not be altered by the network administrator.
Routes with the smallest metric to a destination indicate the best path.
The metric is always determined based on hop count.
The metric varies depending which Layer 3 protocol is being routed, such as IP.

Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator issues the show ipv6 route command on R1. What two
conclusions can be drawn from the routing table? (Choose two.)
R1 does not know a route to any remote networks.
The network FF00::/8 is installed through a static route command.
The interface Fa0/1 is configured with IPv6 address 2001:DB8:ACAD:A::12.
Packets that are destined for the network 2001:DB8:ACAD:2::/64 will be forwarded through
Fa0/1.
Packets that are destined for the network 2001:DB8:ACAD:2::54/128 will be forwarded through
Fa0/0.

From the routing table, R1 knows two directly connected networks and the multicast network
(FF00::/8). It does not know any routes to remote networks. The entry 2001:DB8:ACAD:A::12/128 is the
local host interface route.

A network administrator configures the interface fa0/0 on the router R1 with the command ip address
172.16.1.254 255.255.255.0. However, when the administrator issues the command show ip route, the
routing table does not show the directly connected network. What is the possible cause of the problem?
The interface fa0/0 has not been activated.
The configuration needs to be saved first.
No packets with a destination network of 172.16.1.0 have been sent to R1.
The subnet mask is incorrect for the IPv4 address.
A directly connected network will be added to the routing table when these three conditions are met:
(1) the interface is configured with a valid IP address; (2) it is activated with no shutdown command; and
(3) it receives a carrier signal from another device that is connected to the interface. An incorrect subnet
mask for an IPv4 address will not prevent its appearance in the routing table, although the error may
prevent successful communications.

A network administrator configures a router by the command ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 209.165.200.226.
What is the purpose of this command?
to forward all packets to the device with IP address 209.165.200.226
to add a dynamic route for the destination network 0.0.0.0 to the routing table
to forward packets destined for the network 0.0.0.0 to the device with IP address
209.165.200.226
to provide a route to forward packets for which there is no route in the routing table
The command ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 <next hop> adds a default route to the routing table of a router.
When the router receives a packet and does not have a specific route toward the destination, it
forwards the packet to the next hop indicated in the default route. A route created with the ip route
command is a static route, not a dynamic route.
