Refer to the exhibit. Host H7 sends a packet with the destination IP address of 255.255.255.255. What does router R1 do when it receives the packet from host H7?
- examines the packet received on interface FastEthernet0/1 and does not forward the packet
- changes the Layer 2 header information and forwards the packet out all connected interfaces
- checks the routing table and forwards the packet out interface FastEthernet0/0
- changes the destination IP address and forwards the packet out interface FastEthernet0/0
Explanation: The IP address of 255.255.255.255 is a broadcast address. Routers do not forward broadcasts to other networks. Router R1 examines the header of the packet to determine if the destination IP address is on another network or is a broadcast.
