Refer to the exhibit.  Host H2 sends a unicast message to host H6.  Which destination IP address is contained in the header of the packet when it reaches host H6?

  • the IP address assigned to the network adapter on host H2
  • the IP address assigned to the network adapter on host H6
  • the IP address of the FastEthernet0/1 interface on router R1
  • the IP address of the FastEthernet0/0 interface on router R1

Explanation: When host H2 sends the packet to host H6, the source IP address is the address assigned to the network adapter on host H2. The destination address of the packet is the IP address assigned to the network adapter on host H6. The source and destination IP addresses do not change as the packet is forwarded through the routers. When the packet arrives at H6 the destination address of the packet is the address assigned to the network adapter on H6.
