Here you will find answers to IP Routing Questions – Part 2

Question 1

Refer to the exhibit. Host A is to send data to Host B. How will Router1 handle the data frame received from Host A? (Choose three)

send_data_frame.jpg

A. Router1 will strip off the source MAC address and replace it with the MAC address on the forwarding FastEthernet interface.
B. Router1 will strip off the source IP address and replace it with the IP address on the forwarding FastEthernet interface.
C. Router1 will strip off the destination MAC address and replace it with the MAC address of Host B.
D. Router1 will strip off the destination IP address and replace it with the IP address of Host B.
E. Router1 will forward the data frame out interface FastEthernet0/1.
F. Router1 will forward the data frame out interface FastEthernet0/2.


Answer: A C F

Explanation

While transferring data through many different networks, the source and destination IP addresses are not changed. Only the source and destination MAC addresses are changed. So in this case, Host A will use the IP address of Host B and the MAC address of Fa0/0 interface to send data. When the router receives this data, it replaces the source MAC address with it own Fa0/2 interface’s MAC address and replaces the destination MAC address with Host B’s MAC address before sending to Host B -> A, C and F are correct.

Question 2

What is an appropriate use of a default route?

A. to provide routing to a local web server
B. to provide routing from an ISP to a stub network
C. to provide routing that will override the configured dynamic routing protocol
D. to provide routing to a destination that is not specified in the routing table and which is outside the local network


Answer: D

Explanation

Default routes are used to direct packets addressed to networks not explicitly listed in the routing table. An example of default route is:

Router(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1

(Notice that the network address of default route is 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0)

Question 3

A medium-sized company has a Class C IP address. It has two Cisco routers and one non-Cisco router.
All three routers are using RIP version 1.
The company network is using the block of 198.133.219.0/24.
The company has decided it would be a good idea to split the network into three smaller subnets and create the option of conserving addresses with VLSM.

What is the best course of action if the company wants to have 40 hosts in each of the three subnets?

A. Convert all the routers to EIGRP and use 198.133.219.32/27, 198.133.219.64/27, and 198.133.219.92/27 as the new subnetworks.
B. Maintain the use of RIP version 1 and use 198.133.219.32/27, 198.133.219.64/27, and 198.133.219.92/27 as the new subnetworks.
C. Convert all the routers to EIGRP and use 198.133.219.64/26, 198.133.219.128/26, and 198.133.219.192/26 as the new subnetworks.
D. Convert all the routers to RIP version 2 and use 198.133.219.64/26, 198.133.219.128/26, and 198.133.219.192/26 as the new subnetworks.
E. Convert all the routers to OSPF and use 198.133.219.16/28, 198.133.219.32/28, and 198.133.219.48/28 as the new subnetworks.
F. Convert all the routers to static routes and use 198.133.219.16/28, 198.133.219.32/28, and 198.133.219.48/28 as the new subnetworks.


Answer: D

Explanation

RIP version 1 does not support VLSM so we have to convert into RIPv2, OSPF or EIGRP -> B is not correct.

But EIGRP is a Cisco-proprietary routing protocol so it can not be used in a non-Cisco router -> A and C are not correct.

To support 40 hosts per subnet we need a subnet mask of /26 or lower (which leaves 6 bits 0 and 26 = 64 > 40 hosts). Therefore a subnet mask of /28 is not suitable in this case -> E & F are not correct.

Question 4

Refer to the exhibit. Which command will created a default route on RouterB to reach all networks beyond RouterA?

default_route.jpg

A. ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.2
B. ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1
C. ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 s0/0/0
D. ip route 10:0.0.0 255.255.255.0 s0/0/0
E. ip route 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.2


Answer: A

Explanation

Notice that in the static (or default) route we need to specify the exit-interface (local on that router) or the next-hop IP address (of a directly connected router) -> A is correct.

Question 5

Refer to the exhibit. S0/0 on R1 is configured as a multipoint interface to communicate with R2 and R3 in the hub-and-spoke Frame Relay topology. While testing this configuration, a technician notes that pings are successfully from hosts on the 172.16.1.0/24 network to hosts on both the 172.16.2.0/25 and 172.16.0.2.128/25 networks. However, pings between hosts on the 172.16.2.0/25 and 172.16.2.128/25 network are not successful. What could explain this connectivity problem?

hub-and-spoke_problem.jpg

A. The ip subnet-zero command has been issued on the R1 router.
B. The RIPv2 dynamic routing protocol cannot be used across a Frame Relay network.
C. Split horizon is preventing R2 from learning about the R3 networks and R3 from learning about R2 networks.
D. The 172.16.2.0/25 and 172.16.2.128/25 networks are overlapping networks that can be seen by R1, but not between R2 and R3.
E. The 172.16.3.0/29 network used on the Frame Relay links is creating a discontiguous network between the R2 and R3 router subnetworks.


Answer: C

Explanation

The split horizon rule states “a router never sends information about a route back in same direction which is original information came”. In this case it means whenR3 sends update to R1 via s0/0, R1 does not send any update for same network out of interface s0/0. To solve this problem we can configure sub-interfaces on s0/0 or explicitly allow the update to be sent back on the same interface.

Question 6

S0/0 on R1 is configured as a multipoint interface to communicate with R2 and R3 in the hub-and-spoke Frame Relay topology shown in the exhibit. Originally, static routes were configured between these routers to successfully route traffic between the attached networks. What will need to be done in order to use RIPv2 in place of the static routes?

hub-and-spoke_problem.jpg

A. Configure the no ip subnet-zero command on R1, R2, and R3.
B. Dynamic routing protocols such as RIPv2 cannot be used across Frame Relay networks.
C. Configure the S0/0 interface on R1 as two subinterfaces and configure point-to-point links to R2 and R3.
D. Change the 172.16.2.0/25 and 172.16.2.128/25 subnetworks so that at least two bits are borrowed from the last octet.
E. Change the network address configuration to eliminate the discontiguous 172.16.2.0/25 and 172.16.2.128/25 subnetwork.


Answer: C

Explanation

Same as Question 5

Question 7

Refer to the exhibit. A network associate has configured the internetwork that is shown in the exhibit, but has failed to configure routing properly.

static_route2.jpg

Which configuration will allow the hosts on the Branch LAN to access resources on the HQ LAN with the least impact on router processing and WAN bandwidth?

A.
HQ(config)# ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.5
Branch(config) # ip route 172.16.25.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.6

B.
HQ(config)# router rip
HQ(config-router)# network 192.168.2.0
HQ(config-router)# network 172.16.0.0
Branch(config)# router rip
Branch(config-router) # network 192.168.1.0
Branch(config-router)# network 192.168.2.0

C.
HQ(config)# router eigrp 56
HQ(config-router)# network 192.168.2.4
HQ(config-router)# network 172.16.25.0
Branch(config)# router eigrp 56
Branch(config-router)# network 192.168.1.0
Branch(config-router) # network 192.168.2.4

D.
HQ(config)# router ospf 1
HQ(config-router)# network 192.168.2.4 0.0.0.3 area 0
HQ(config-router)# network 172.16.25.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
Branch(config)# router ospf 1
Branch(config-router)# network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0


Answer: A

Explanation

By configuring static route, we can minimize the router processing and WAN bandwidth.

Question 8

Refer to the exhibit. The network administrator requires easy configuration options and minimal routing protocol traffic. Which two options provide adequate routing table information for traffic that passes between the two routers and satisfy the requests of the network administrator?(choose two)

easy_routing_traffic.jpg

A. a dynamic routing protocol on InternetRouter to advertise summarized routers to CentralRouter.
B. a dynamic routing protocol on CentralRouter to advertise summarized routers to InternetRouter.
C. a static route on InternetRouter to direct traffic that is destined for 172.16.0.0/16 to CentralRouter.
D. a dynamic routing protocol on InternetRouter to advertise all routes to CentralRouer.
E. a dynamic routing protocol on CentralRouer to advertise all routes to InternetRouter
F. a static, default route on CentralRouter that directs traffic to InternetRouter.


Answer: C F

Question 9

A router receives information about network 192.168.10.0/24 from multiple sources. What will the router consider the most reliable information about the path to that network?

A. an OSPF update for network 192.168.0.0/16
B. a static router to network 192.168.10.0/24
C. a static router to network 192.168.10.0/24 with a local serial interface configured as the next hop
D. a RIP update for network 192.168.10.0/24
E. a directly connected interface with an address of 192.168.10.254/24
F. a default route with a next hop address of 192.168.10.1


Answer: E

Question 10

Which parameter can be tuned to affect the selection of a static route as a backup when a dynamic protocol is also being used?

A. link bandwidth
B. hop count
C. link cost
D. administrative distance
E. link delay


Answer: D

Question 11

Which statement is true, as relates to classful or classless routing?

A. RIPV1 and OSPF are classless routing protocols.
B. Classful routing protocols send the subnet mask in routing updates.
C. Automatic summarization at classful boundaries can cause problems on discontiguous networks.
D. EIGRP and OSPF are classful routing protocols and summarize routes by default.


Answer: C

Question 12

Which two are advantages of static routing when compared to dynamic routing? (choose two)

A. Security increases because only the network administrator may change the routing tables.
B. Configuration complexity decreases as network size increases.
C. Routing updates are automatically sent to neighbors.
D. Route summarization is computed automatically by the router.
E. Routing traffic load is reduced when used in stub network links.
F. An efficient algorithm is used to build routing tables using automatic updates.
G. Routing tables adapt automatically to topology changes.


Answer: A E

Question 13

The speed of all serial links is E1 and the speed of the all other links is 100Mb/s. A static route will be established on the Manchester router to direct traffic toward to the internet over the most direct path available. What configuration of the Manchester router will establish a route toward to the internet for traffic from workstation on the Manchester LAN?

static_route_config.jpg

A. ip route 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.100.2
B. ip route 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.252 128.107.1.1
C. ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 128.107.1.1
D. ip route 0.0.0.00.0:0:0 172.16.100.1
E. ip route 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 172.16.100.2
F. ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.100.2


Answer: F

Explanation

Maybe “the most direct path available” here means via R2 because it is directly connected with the Internet while the London path needs to go through R1. So we need a command to send traffic to R2 and the correct command is “ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.100.2″.

    @sukhjit:Q9–>it is based on Administrative Distance value..bcoz the AD value for directly connected interfaces is 0..The AD value for EIGRP=90
    OSPF =110
    STATIC=1
    so obviously the ans is D(directly connected interfaces)

    HQ(config)# ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.5
    Branch(config) # ip route 172.16.25.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.6
    I think # 9 answer needs a little modification :
    HQ(config) # ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.6——-> ip add of the receiving interface of next-hop router = 192.168.2.6
    Branch(config)# ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.5——–> ip add. of the receiving interface of next-hop router = 192.168.2.5
    I would be glad to receive a feedback.

    @resolved: Maybe you want to refer to Question 7. Please notice that if we are on HQ router we need to use the Branch IP address as the next-hop router so the commands
    HQ(config)# ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.5
    Branch(config) # ip route 172.16.25.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.6
    are correct.
    Notice that 192.168.2.5 is Branch’s IP, 192.168.2.6 is HQ’s IP.

    @ranjita

    A. a dynamic routing protocol on InternetRouter to advertise summarized routers to CentralRouter.
    nope, the internet router doesn’t have to advertise anything

    B. a dynamic routing protocol on CentralRouter to advertise summarized routers to InternetRouter.
    just set a default route. i wouldn’t go for this one

    C. a static route on InternetRouter to direct traffic that is destined for 172.16.0.0/16 to CentralRouter.
    using static routes is the easiest way. “ip route 172.16.0.0 255.255.0.0 INTERFACE_TO_CENTRALROUTER”
    the central router would have to figure out where to send it all then.

    D. a dynamic routing protocol on InternetRouter to advertise all routes to CentralRouer.
    internet router shouldn’t advertise anything. it could redistribute its default network.

    E. a dynamic routing protocol on CentralRouer to advertise all routes to InternetRouter
    it has just 1 network to advertise: 172.16.0.0/16. why bother use a routing protocol?

    F. a static, default route on CentralRouter that directs traffic to InternetRouter.
    this is the default network that’s needed to get everything from the LAN out on the internet: “ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 INTERFACE_TO_INTERNETROUTER”

    hope this helps, cheers

  11. Diego
    December 11th, 2011

    @riyas

    When you use a dynamic routing protocol, the protocol generates routing updates each time, (the update time interval depends on the routing protocol that you use), by this the routing protocol needs much bandwidth utilization. Otherwise if you use static or default route you don’t need routing information passing each time through the link all the time. And the question say? (easy configuration options and minimal routing protocol traffic).

    I hope that this help you.

    @bakki

    Q9, have a read over administrative distances.
    Directly connected routing source has an AD of 0.
    Static is 1, EIGRP is 90, OSPF is 110 and RIP is 120.
    The lower the AD, the more trusted/reliable the source and is inserted into the routing table.

    Hope that helps.

    can anyone tell which in right?

  18. xallax
    December 28th, 2011

    @pradeep

    A. Security increases because only the network administrator may change the routing tables.
    the admin was in charge of the network anyway…
    still, think of the scenario when someone connected a test router to the network and started advertising rip/eigrp/ospf routes and then the rest of the network would start acting weird.
    static routes are a good for security. true

    B. Configuration complexity decreases as network size increases.
    false. the admin has to add in all the entry lines on each and every device…

    C. Routing updates are automatically sent to neighbors.
    false. static routes don’t share a thing

    D. Route summarization is computed automatically by the router.
    it uses the classful network in the routing table… true

    E. Routing traffic load is reduced when used in stub network links.
    a stub network has only one entry/exit point. routing updates dont hog the network all that much so i wouldnt agree on this on

    F. An efficient algorithm is used to build routing tables using automatic updates.
    there’s no algorithm used, the admin decides which routes to add in.

    G. Routing tables adapt automatically to topology changes.
    same thing as F. there’s nothing automated regarding static routes

    my answers are A and D

  19. maja
    December 29th, 2011

    Can someone please explain Q10
    As I understood it the static route will be elected as a backup because it has lower administrative distance than any dynamic routing protocol.
    The part of the question ‘can be tuned’ is a little confusing for me

  20. 9tut
    December 29th, 2011

    @maja: By default, the static route has lower administrative distance (AD) so it is preferred over other dynamic routing protocol. Therefore we have to increase the AD of the static route (to a higher value than the dynamic routing protocol) so that the dynamic routing protocol becomes main route.

  21. maja
    December 29th, 2011

    @9tut
    thanks a lot! now I understand the question! if we don’t increase the AD, static route will be used instead of dynamic. That’s the problem with us non native speakers :)

    @xallax and @9tut

    Question 12

    Which two are advantages of static routing when compared to dynamic routing? (choose two)

    A. Security increases because only the network administrator may change the routing tables. This is correct, because you manually configure them.
    B. Configuration complexity decreases as network size increases. Wrong, you have to configure more.
    C. Routing updates are automatically sent to neighbors. Wrong.
    D. Route summarization is computed automatically by the router. Wrong since it’s a routing protocol that auto sums? xallax has this as a correct answer.
    E. Routing traffic load is reduced when used in stub network links. 9tut has this as a correct answer, but I don’t understand why.
    F. An efficient algorithm is used to build routing tables using automatic updates. wrong
    G. Routing tables adapt automatically to topology changes. no, because it is configured static. you would have to manually change it.

    May I get a confirmation of which answer is correct between D & E, please.

  24. eddie
    January 8th, 2012

    at xallax

    answers are A and E

    stub areas are used in multi area OSPF. OSPF eats up the most processor of all routing protocols. static routes eliminate processing usage.

    D cannot be correct because OSPF does not use have auto sum by default, EIGRP and Ripv2 do have it on my default

  25. xallax
    January 9th, 2012

    @eddie
    come to think of it… if that static route is actually a default route then E is correct…
    and you’re right on “stub area” being only for ospf. i didn’t think of the processor usage.
    A and E are correct after all, thank you eddie

    Q13 ,

    If R2 interface IP are not known , can we use option D?

  27. xallax
    January 12th, 2012

    @irfan
    nope. to configure a static route you use:
    - the name of the local exit interface (i.e.: interface fa0/1)
    - the IP of the remote destination interface (on this scenario: 172.16.100.2)

    if you used 172.16.100.1 then you had a loop in the routing process and all traffic came back to the router endlessly

    Why is the answer not also E? Shouldn’t the MAC address be the same for all ports in a router? Shouldn’t the Answer be A,E, and F eventhough question said choose two? If not is there any preference like UDP port is used is the prefered over TCP is used for DNS when you are only given one choice? Please explain.

    Q.1
    9tut Yesterday they brought Q.1 but with a MUCH MUCH difficult way, it was as follows:
    What are the source and destination mac addresses of the frame received by the router and the source and destination mac addresses of the frame that will be sent by the router?

    I think the answer in the above case’ll be:

    1- Received packet:
    source mac: 0000.0c07.f892
    destination mac: 0000.0c07.ae45
    2- Sent packet:
    source mac: 0000.0c63.6965
    destination mac: 0000.0c07.4320

    Please checkup :)

    Q8.
    I don’t understand, why InternetRouter should advertise route for PRIVATE network in INTERNET

    I understood, thanks… if there PAT installed, it should forward to CentralRouter

    Q12.
    The answer is right as it is.
    Based on the following explanations from Sybex

    1.There is no overhead on the router CPU, which means you could possibly buy a cheaper
    router than you would use if you were using dynamic routing.

     2.There is no bandwidth usage between routers, which means you could possibly save
    money on WAN links.
    
    3.It adds security because the administrator can choose to allow routing access to certain
    networks only.

    Q8.

    I have three words for you point-to-point….P2P…..A point-to-point link requires a static route, which happens to be the most reliable route.

    Option C would allow InternetRouter to direct traffic that is destined for 172.16.0.0/16 to CentralCouter VIA a static route. And option F is vise-versa to option C…….default static route.

    In this question how was it determined Branch Router 1 is only able to send Ripv1 updates? I thought Ripv1 can only use classful masks but in this question clearly the lans connected to Branch Router 1 have classless masks (/27).

    @raj
    simple, it advertised a classfull network even though it had only 2 small subnets on it. ripv2 doesnt do that (if you use “no auto-summary”).
    another clue is the address of the device that advertised it which is the one of branch-router1

    please conside AD for the answer
    Directly connected intterface–> AD 0
    Static route–> AD 1
    the router will always keep the route with minimum AD..
