Which two statements best decribe the functions of a router in a network
- A.
  
  Routers maintain their routing tables and ensure that other routers know of changes in the network
- B.
  
  Routers use the routing table to determine where to forward packets
- C.
  
  Routers strengthen the signal over large distances in a network
- D.
  
  Routers create larger collision domains
- E.
  
  Routers use ICMP to communicate network information from their own routing table with other routers
Correct Answer(s)
A. Routers maintain their routing tables and ensure that other routers know of changes in the network
B. Routers use the routing table to determine where to forward packets

Explanation
Routers maintain their routing tables and ensure that other routers know of changes in the network. This means that routers keep track of the available paths in a network and update their routing tables accordingly. They also communicate these changes to other routers so that they are aware of the updated network topology.

Routers use the routing table to determine where to forward packets. The routing table contains information about the available paths and their associated costs. When a router receives a packet, it looks at the destination address and checks its routing table to determine the best path to forward the packet towards its destination. By using the routing table, routers can efficiently route packets through the network.

4.

Which three of the following statements about the path determination process are accurate?
- A.
  
  Routers evaluate the available paths to a destination
- B.
  
  The routing process uses metrics and administrative distances when evaluating network paths
- C.
  
  Dynamic routing occurs when the network admin configures information on each router
- D.
  
  Dynamic routing when the information is learned using routing information that is obtained from routing protocols
- E.
  
  A default route holds an explicit route to every network
- F.
  
  The routing table holds multiple entries per network
Correct Answer(s)
A. Routers evaluate the available paths to a destination
B. The routing process uses metrics and administrative distances when evaluating network paths
D. Dynamic routing when the information is learned using routing information that is obtained from routing protocols

Explanation
Routers evaluate the available paths to a destination, which means that they analyze the different routes that can be taken to reach a specific destination. The routing process uses metrics and administrative distances to evaluate network paths, which helps determine the best route based on factors such as speed, reliability, and cost. Dynamic routing occurs when routers learn and update their routing information using routing protocols, allowing them to adapt to changes in the network. This is different from static routing, where the network admin manually configures the routing information on each router.

Which one of the following containst routing information that helps a router determine the routing path?
- A.
  
  IP address
- B.
  
  MAC address
- C.
  
  Routing table
- D.
  
  Routing protocol
Correct Answer
C. Routing table

Explanation
A routing table contains routing information that helps a router determine the routing path. It is a database that is stored in a router and contains a list of available routes to different network destinations. The routing table includes information such as the destination network address, the next hop router, and the metric or cost associated with each route. By referencing the routing table, a router can determine the most appropriate path to send data packets to their intended destination.

Rate this question:
6.

Which three of the following statements describe the functon of routing tables
- A.
  
  Routing provide an ordered list of known network addresses
- B.
  
  Routing tables are maintained through the transmission of MAC addresses
- C.
  
  Routing tables contain metrics that are used to determine the disirability of the route
- D.
  
  Routing table associations tell a router that a particular destination is either directly connected to the router or that it can be reached via another router (the next hop router) on the wat to the final destination
- E.
  
  When a router recieves an incoming packet, it uses the source address and searches the routing table to find the best path for the data from that source
- F.
  
  Routing tables are used to compare which routing protocols allow reaching the destination network
Correct Answer(s)
A. Routing provide an ordered list of known network addresses
C. Routing tables contain metrics that are used to determine the disirability of the route
D. Routing table associations tell a router that a particular destination is either directly connected to the router or that it can be reached via another router (the next hop router) on the wat to the final destination

Explanation
Routing tables provide an ordered list of known network addresses, allowing routers to determine the best path for data transmission. These tables also contain metrics, such as hop count or bandwidth, which help determine the desirability of a route. Additionally, routing table associations inform routers whether a destination is directly connected or can be reached through another router (the next hop router) on the way to the final destination.

Rate this question:
7.

What three are most commonly used by routing protools to determine a network path
- A.
  
  Hop count
- B.
  
  Bandwith
- C.
  
  Delay
- D.
  
  Packet length
- E.
  
  Distance
- F.
  
  Quantity
Correct Answer(s)
A. Hop count
B. Bandwith
C. Delay

Explanation
Routing protocols use hop count, bandwidth, and delay to determine the best network path. Hop count refers to the number of routers or hops that a packet must traverse to reach its destination. Bandwidth is the capacity of a network link to transmit data, and routing protocols consider links with higher bandwidth as preferable. Delay refers to the time it takes for a packet to travel from its source to its destination, and routing protocols aim to minimize delay. These three factors help routing protocols make informed decisions about the most efficient and reliable network path.

  This protocol determines the direction (vector) and distance (hop count) to any network in the internetwork
- D.
  
  A router needs to know the entire path to every network segment
- E.
  
  This process is also known as "routing by rumor"
- F.
  
  Routers that are running the distance vector routing protocol send periodic updates only when there are changes in the network
Correct Answer(s)
B. Examples of this protocol include RIP
C. This protocol determines the direction (vector) and distance (hop count) to any network in the internetwork
E. This process is also known as "routing by rumor"

Explanation
Distance vector protocols, such as RIP, determine the direction and distance to any network in an internetwork. They use a hop count to measure the distance and determine the best path for routing. This process is also known as "routing by rumor" because routers exchange periodic updates to share information about network changes. Examples of distance vector protocols include RIP.

- D.
  
  LS routing protocols send periodic updates (LS refreshes) at long time intervals, approx once every 30 mins
- E.
  
  In LS routing protocols, every router tries to build it's own internal map of the network topology
- F.
  
  LS routing protocols send periodic detailed routing tables eeven tho network changes have occurred
Correct Answer(s)
B. Link-State routing protocols respond quickly to network changes
D. LS routing protocols send periodic updates (LS refreshes) at long time intervals, approx once every 30 mins
E. In LS routing protocols, every router tries to build it's own internal map of the network topology

Explanation
Link-state routing protocols respond quickly to network changes because they use the information in the link-state database to calculate the shortest paths and update routing tables accordingly. LS routing protocols send periodic updates (LS refreshes) at long time intervals, approximately once every 30 minutes, to ensure that routers have the most up-to-date information about the network topology. In LS routing protocols, every router tries to build its own internal map of the network topology by exchanging link-state information with other routers. This allows each router to have a comprehensive understanding of the network and make informed routing decisions.

How many octets does a Class A network have in the host field?
- A.
  
  1
- B.
  
  2
- C.
  
  3
- D.
  
  4
Correct Answer
C. 3

Explanation
A Class A network has 3 octets in the host field. In IPv4 addressing, the host field represents the portion of the IP address that identifies a specific device on a network. In a Class A network, the first octet is reserved for the network ID, while the remaining three octets are used for the host ID. This allows for a large number of unique host addresses within a Class A network, making it suitable for large organizations or internet service providers.

A subnet mask tells the router to look at which portions of an IP address?
- A.
  
  Mask and host bits
- B.
  
  Host and network bits
- C.
  
  Host and subnet bits
- D.
  
  Network and subnet bits
Correct Answer
D. Network and subnet bits

Explanation
A subnet mask is used to divide an IP address into network and host portions. It helps the router determine which part of the IP address represents the network and which part represents the host. The network bits identify the network to which the IP address belongs, while the subnet bits further divide the network into smaller subnets. Therefore, the correct answer is "network and subnet bits."

If a router does not match the appropriate address portions to a number on its routing table, it?
- A.
  
  Sends the packet back to the sender
- B.
  
  Passes the packet to the next router in the hierarchy
- C.
  
  Adds that number to its table
- D.
  
  Discards the packet
Correct Answer
D. Discards the packet

Explanation
When a router does not find a match for the appropriate address portions in its routing table, it discards the packet. This means that the router does not have any information on how to forward the packet to its intended destination. Discarding the packet ensures that it does not continue to be passed along the network, preventing unnecessary network congestion.

Which of the following subnet masks falls on octet boundaries?
- A.
  
  255.255.0.0
- B.
  
  255.255.255.254
- C.
  
  255.128.0.0
- D.
  
  255.0.0.0
Correct Answer
D. 255.0.0.0

Explanation
The subnet mask 255.0.0.0 falls on octet boundaries because each octet in the mask has a value of either 255 or 0, indicating that the entire octet is either fully utilized or not utilized at all. This means that the network address is defined by the first octet, while the remaining three octets are available for host addresses.

A serial interface displays "Serial1 is up, line protocol is down" Which two situations may cause this error?
- A.
  
  The clock rate has not been set
- B.
  
  The interface has been manually disabled
- C.
  
  No cable is attached to the serial interface
- D.
  
  There are no keepalives
- E.
  
  There is a mismatch in the encapsulation type
Correct Answer(s)
D. There are no keepalives
E. There is a mismatch in the encapsulation type

Explanation
The error message "Serial1 is up, line protocol is down" indicates that the physical layer of the serial interface is functioning properly (up), but the data link layer protocol is not established (down). This can be caused by two situations. Firstly, if there are no keepalives, it means that the interface is not receiving regular signals to confirm the connection, resulting in the line protocol being down. Secondly, if there is a mismatch in the encapsulation type between the devices connected to the serial interface, they won't be able to establish a proper data link layer protocol, causing the line protocol to be down.
