Refer to the exhibit.
How will the router handle a packet destined for 192.0.2.156?
A.
The router will drop the packet.
B.
The router will return the packet to its source.
C.
The router will forward the packet via Serial2.
D.
The router will forward the packet via either Serial0 or Serial1.
Explanation:
Router has pointed default router to 192.168.4.1 and this subnet is connected via
serial 2 interface. Router does not have router for the 192.0.2.156. so it will use the default
gateway 192.168.4.1. A default route identifies the gateway IP address to which the router sends
all IP packets for which it does not have a learned or static route.
Thanks for this explanation, it sharpens my understanding helps me to focus.
I really hate it when people ask questions and the answer is just cut and pasted from the dump. No wonder people hate dumps so bad.
The router has two paths to the 192.168.2.0/24 network so it will send it via either Serial or Serial1. Most dumps have the wrong answer for this as far as I can tell. Are there any real experts that can elaborate on this?
The question is asking about 192.0.2.156, not 192.168.2.156.
That is the tricky aspect of this question.
So the default route (gateway of last resort, 192.168.4.1) is taken. That subnet is out Serial2.
I agree!!!
Thanks for clarifying this thedudeabides. I was a lil confused…
