    The default row ___________?

    • Always has the mask /16

    • Will always match the IP address of an incoming packet

    • Both A and B

    • Neither A nor B

    Correct Answer
    A. Will always match the IP address of an incoming packet
    Explanation
    The default row in a routing table will always match the IP address of an incoming packet. This is because the default row is used when there is no specific match found for the destination IP address in the routing table. The default row acts as a catch-all and is used when no other more specific routes are available. Therefore, any incoming packet that does not have a matching entry in the routing table will be matched by the default row.

    • Subnet part

    • Network part

    • Host part

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Network part
    Explanation
    The 1's in a network mask correspond to the network part. The network part of an IP address is used to identify the network to which the IP address belongs. It is a portion of the IP address that remains constant within a particular network. The network mask is used to determine which part of an IP address represents the network part and which part represents the host part.

    In MPLS, the interface to send the packet back out will be decided ___________?

    • On the basis of the previous packet going to the packet's IP address.

    • Before the packet arrives

    • During the router's routing process

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Before the packet arrives
    Explanation
    The interface to send the packet back out in MPLS is decided before the packet arrives. This means that the decision on which interface to use for forwarding the packet is made in advance, based on the information available in the MPLS header. This allows for faster and more efficient routing, as the decision is already made and the packet can be quickly forwarded without the need for further processing during the router's routing process.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Label-switching router base their decisions on a packet's__________?

    • Label number

    • IP address

    • Both A and B

    • Neither A nor b

    Correct Answer
    A. Label number
    Explanation
    Label-switching routers base their decisions on a packet's label number. This is because label switching is a technique used in MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) networks, where labels are assigned to packets to determine their forwarding path. The label number serves as an identifier for the packet and allows the router to make forwarding decisions based on the label's value. IP addresses may still be used within the packet, but the primary factor for routing decisions in label-switching routers is the label number. Therefore, the correct answer is "label number."

  • 10. 

    What security protocol originally came with 802.11 equipment?

    • 802.11i

    • 802.11e

    • WEP

    • WPA

    Correct Answer
    A. WEP
    Explanation
    WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) was the original security protocol that came with 802.11 equipment. It was introduced in 1997 as a way to provide basic security for wireless networks. However, WEP has been widely criticized for its vulnerabilities and is no longer considered secure. It has been replaced by more advanced protocols such as WPA and WPA2.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    In MPLS, the __________adds the label to the packet.

    • Source host

    • First label-switching router

    • Both A an B

    • Neither A nor B

    Correct Answer
    A. First label-switching router
    Explanation
    In MPLS, the first label-switching router adds the label to the packet. This is because MPLS uses labels to route packets through the network. The first label-switching router is responsible for assigning a label to the packet based on the destination address and forwarding it to the next hop in the network. This process allows for efficient and fast routing of packets in MPLS networks.

    Which TCP/IP interior dynamic routing protocol is simple to manage?

    • OSPF

    • RIP

    • BGP

    • Both B and C

    Correct Answer
    A. RIP
    Explanation
    RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a TCP/IP interior dynamic routing protocol that is considered simple to manage. It is a distance-vector protocol that uses hop count as the metric for determining the best path to a destination. RIP is relatively easy to configure and requires minimal administrative effort, making it a popular choice for small to medium-sized networks. It is not as scalable or efficient as other protocols like OSPF or BGP, but its simplicity and ease of management make it a suitable choice for certain network environments.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Which interior dynamic routing protocol is good for large internets?

    • RIP

    • OSPF

    • BGP

    • Both B and C

    Correct Answer
    A. OSPF
    Explanation
    OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a good interior dynamic routing protocol for large internets. This is because OSPF is designed to scale well and can handle large networks with thousands of routers. It uses a link-state routing algorithm, which allows for efficient and accurate routing table updates. OSPF also supports hierarchical routing, which further enhances scalability by dividing the network into smaller areas. Additionally, OSPF provides fast convergence and supports load balancing, making it suitable for large internets with high traffic volumes.

    Fragmentation is __________?

    • Suspicious because it is often used by hackers

    • Very common

    • Both A and B

    • Neither A nor B

    Correct Answer
    A. Suspicious because it is often used by hackers
    Explanation
    Fragmentation is suspicious because it is often used by hackers. Fragmentation refers to the practice of dividing data into smaller pieces or fragments, which can make it difficult for security systems to detect and analyze. Hackers may use fragmentation techniques to bypass security measures, hide malicious code within the fragments, or evade detection. Therefore, the suspicious nature of fragmentation stems from its association with hacking activities.

    • 18

    • 8

    • 14

    • 16

    • We cannot say.

    Correct Answer
    A. We cannot say.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "we cannot say." The reason for this is that the given network mask "/14" does not provide enough information to determine the number of bits in the host part. The network mask only specifies the number of bits in the network part, but the host part can vary depending on the specific network configuration. Therefore, without additional information, it is not possible to determine the number of bits in the host part.

    Routers send packets out ________?

    • Plugs

    • Connections

    • Ports

    • Interfaces

    Correct Answer
    A. Interfaces
    Explanation
    Routers send packets out through interfaces. Interfaces are the physical or virtual connections that allow a router to connect to other devices or networks. They serve as the entry and exit points for data packets, enabling the router to transmit and receive information across different networks. By using interfaces, routers can effectively direct packets to their intended destinations, ensuring efficient communication between devices.
