Header Checksum

Which field in an IPv6 packet is used by the router to determine if a packet has expired and should be dropped? TTL Hop Limit Address Unreachable No Route to Destination

Hop Limit

Which three options are major issues associated with IPv4? (Choose three.) IP address depletion increased network complexity and Internet routing table expansion always on connections lack of end-to-end connectivity global and political boundaries too many IPv4 addresses available

IP address depletion increased network complexity and Internet routing table expansion lack of end-to-end connectivity

Which statement accurately describes a characteristic of IPv4? All IPv4 addresses are assignable to hosts.​ IPv4 has a 32-bit address space.​ An IPv4 header has fewer fields than an IPv6 header has.​ IPv4 natively supports IPsec.​

IPv4 has a 32-bit address space.​

Which statement about host forwarding decisions is true? A host cannot ping itself. A remote destination host is on the same local network as the sending host. Local hosts can reach each other without the need of a router. Routing is enabled on switches to discover the best path to a destination.

Local hosts can reach each other without the need of a router.

Which field includes common values such as ICMP (1), TCP (6), and UDP (17)? Header Checksum Time to Live Protocol Differentiated Services (DS)

Protocol

Which is true of the IPv6 packet header? The Hop Limit field replaces the IPv4 Time to Live field. The Source and Destination IPv6 addresses change while travelling from source to destination. The Time to Live field replaces the DiffServ field. The Version field identifies the next header.

The Hop Limit field replaces the IPv4 Time to Live field.

Which characteristic describes an IPv6 enhancement over IPv4?​ IPv6 addresses are based on 128-bit flat addressing as opposed to IPv4 which is based on 32-bit hierarchical addressing. The IPv6 header is simpler than the IPv4 header is, which improves packet handling. Both IPv4 and IPv6 support authentication, but only IPv6 supports privacy capabilities. The IPv6 address space is four times bigger than the IPv4 address space.​

The IPv6 header is simpler than the IPv4 header is, which improves packet handling.

How does the network layer use the MTU value? The network layer depends on the higher level layers to determine the MTU. The network layer depends on the data link layer to set the MTU, and adjusts the speed of transmission to accommodate it. The MTU is passed to the network layer by the data link layer. To increase speed of delivery, the network layer ignores the MTU.

The MTU is passed to the network layer by the data link layer.

Which default gateway statement is true? A default gateway is required to send packets to other hosts on the local network. The default gateway address is the IP address of a switch on a remote network. The default gateway address is the IP address of the router on the local network. Traffic can only be forwarded outside the local network if there is no default gateway.

The default gateway address is the IP address of the router on the local network.

A computer has to send a packet to a destination host in the same LAN. How will the packet be sent? The packet will be sent to the default gateway first, and then, depending on the response from the gateway, it may be sent to the destination host. The packet will be sent directly to the destination host. The packet will first be sent to the default gateway, and then from the default gateway it will be sent directly to the destination host. The packet will be sent only to the default gateway.

The packet will be sent directly to the destination host.

Which statement is correct about IPv4 packet header fields? The source and destination IPv4 addresses remain the same while travelling from source to destination. The Time to Live field is used to determine the priority of each packet. The Total Length and Header Checksum fields are used to reorder a fragmented packet. The Version field identifies the next level protocol.

The source and destination IPv4 addresses remain the same while traveling from source to destination

Which is a characteristic of static routes? They are manually configured. They are advertised to directly connected neighbors. They are appropriate when there are many redundant links. They automatically adjust to a change in network topology.

They are manually configured.

True or False A router can be configured with a combination of both static routes and a dynamic routing protocol. True False

True

When a connectionless protocol is in use at a lower layer of the OSI model, how is missing data detected and retransmitted if necessary? Connectionless acknowledgements are used to request retransmission. Upper-layer connection-oriented protocols keep track of the data received and can request retransmission from the upper-level protocols on the sending host. Network layer IP protocols manage the communication sessions if connection-oriented transport services are not available. The best-effort delivery process guarantees that all packets that are sent are received.

Upper-layer connection-oriented protocols keep track of the data received and can request retransmission from the upper-level protocols on the sending host.

What does a code of "O" indicate next to a route in the routing table? a directly connected route a route with an administrative distance of 0 a gateway of last resort a route learned dynamically from OSPF

a route learned dynamically from OSPF

Which delivery method does not guarantee that the packet will be delivered fully without errors? connectionless best effort media independent

best effort

Which layer is responsible for taking an IP packet and preparing it for transmission over the communications medium? physical layer network layer data link layer transport layer

This type of route is also known as a gateway of last resort. static route remote route default route directly connected route

default route

When a router receives a packet, what information must be examined in order for the packet to be forwarded to a remote destination? destination MAC address source IP address destination IP address source MAC address

destination IP address

What is the term for splitting up an IP packet when forwarding it from one medium to another medium with a smaller MTU? encapsulation fragmentation segmentation serialization

fragmentation

Which two options are improvements provided by IPv6 as compared to IPv4? (Choose two.) header supports additional fields for complex packets increased the IP address space standardizes the use of NAT supports class-based networks uses a simpler header to provide improved packet handling
