14.1.7 Check Your Understanding – Path Determination Answers

1. What table does a router use to determine how to forward an IP packet?

  • ARP table
  • MAC address table
  • neighbor cache
  • routing table

Explanation: A router uses a routing table to determine how to forward an IP packet.

2. What action will a router take on a packet with a destination IP address that is on a remote network?

  • It will forward the packet directly to the device with the destination IP address of the packet.
  • It will forward the packet to a next-hop router.
  • It will forward the packet to an Ethernet switch.
  • It will drop the packet.

Explanation: If the destination IP address of a packet is on a remote network, the router will forward the packet to a next-hop router.

3. Which of the following routes may be found in a routing table? (Choose all that apply.)

  • directly connected networks
  • static routes
  • dynamic routing protocol routes
  • default route

Explanation: Directly connected networks, static routes, dynamic routing protocol routes, and default routes can all be found in a routing table.

4. What is used to determine the minimum number of far-left bits that must match between the prefix in the route entry and the destination IP address.

  • prefix length in the routing table entry
  • prefix length of the destination IP address
  • the classful address of the network address

Explanation: Prefix length in the routing table is used to determine the minimum number of far-left bits that must match between the prefix in the route entry and the destination IP address.
