CCNA – IP Routing Questions 2
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)
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?
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?
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?
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 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?
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”.
