- 10.
Which information is used by the router to determine the path between the source and destination hosts?
- A.
The host portion of the IP address
- B.
The network portion of the IP address
- C.
Host default gateway address
- D.
The MAC address
Correct Answer
B. The network portion of the IP addressExplanation
The router uses the network portion of the IP address to determine the path between the source and destination hosts. The network portion of the IP address helps the router identify the network to which the hosts belong. By examining the network portion, the router can make routing decisions and forward the packets to the appropriate network. The host portion of the IP address is used to identify individual hosts within a network, but it does not play a role in determining the path between hosts. The host default gateway address is used by individual hosts to send packets to the router, but it is not used by the router itself to determine the path. The MAC address is used at the data link layer for local network communication and is not relevant for determining the path between hosts on different networks.Rate this question:

- C.
R1 will forward the packet to its default gateway, the next hop router R2. R2 will drop the packet because it does not have a default route to network 10.1.1.0/24.
- D.
R1 will forward the packet to its default gateway, the next hop router R2. R2 will drop the packet because it does not have a route that is learned by a routing protocol to network 10.1.1.0/24.
Correct Answer
B. R1 will forward the packet to its default gateway, the next hop router R2. R2 will forward the packet to the directly connected network 10.1.1.0/24.Explanation
The correct answer states that R1 will forward the packet to its default gateway, which is the next hop router R2. R2 will then forward the packet to the directly connected network 10.1.1.0/24. This means that R1 does not have a specific route in its routing table to the 10.1.1.0/24 network, but it knows that its default gateway is R2. R1 will send the packet to R2, and R2 will know how to reach the destination network since it is directly connected to it. Therefore, the packet will be successfully delivered to host B.Rate this question:
