Flow Label
Which statement describes a feature of the IP protocol?
IP relies on upper layer services to handle situations of missing or out-of-order packets.
Refer to the exhibit. Consider the IP address configuration shown from PC1. What is a description of the default gateway address?
It is the IP address of the Router1 interface that connects the PC1 LAN to Router1.
What property of ARP allows hosts on a LAN to send traffic to remote networks?
Local hosts learn the MAC address of the default gateway.
What are two potential network problems that can result from ARP operation? (Choose two.)
On large networks with low bandwidth, multiple ARP broadcasts could cause data communication delays. Network attackers could manipulate MAC address and IP address mappings in ARP messages with the intent of intercepting network traffic.
What IPv4 header field identifies the upper layer protocol carried in the packet?

Open the PT activity. Perform the tasks in the activity instructions and then answer the question.
R1: G0/0 and S0/0/0 R2: G0/1 and S0/0/0
Which term describes a field in the IPv4 packet header used to limit the lifetime of a packet?
TTL
A network technician issues the arp -d * command on a PC after the router that is connected to the LAN is reconfigured. What is the result after this command is issued?
The ARP cache is cleared.
What information does the loopback test provide?
The TCP/IP stack on the device is working correctly.
A computer can access devices on the same network but cannot access devices on other networks. What is the probable cause of this problem?
The computer has an invalid default gateway address.
A router boots and enters setup mode. What is the reason for this?
The configuration file is missing from NVRAM.
What is the effect of using the Router# copy running-config startup-config command on a router?
The contents of NVRAM will change.
Within a production network, what is the purpose of configuring a switch with a default gateway address?
The default gateway address is used to forward packets originating from the switch to remote networks.
What property of ARP causes the request to be flooded out all ports of a switch except for the port receiving the ARP request?
The destination MAC address FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF appears in the header of the Ethernet frame.
What property of ARP forces all Ethernet NICs to process an ARP request?
The destination MAC address FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF appears in the header of the Ethernet frame.
Under which two circumstances will a switch flood a frame out of every port except the port that the frame was received on? (Choose two.)
The frame has the broadcast address as the destination address. The destination address is unknown to the switch.
What will happen if the default gateway address is incorrectly configured on a host?
The host cannot communicate with hosts in other networks.
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 directly to the destination host.
What property of ARP causes a reply only to the source sending an ARP request?
The source MAC address appears in the header of the Ethernet frame.
The global configuration command ip default-gateway 172.16.100.1 is applied to a switch. What is the effect of this command?
The switch can be remotely managed from a host on another network.
Refer to the exhibit. The exhibit shows a small switched network and the contents of the MAC address table of the switch. PC1 has sent a frame addressed to PC3. What will the switch do with the frame?
The switch will forward the frame to all ports except port 4.
What property of ARP causes the NICs receiving an ARP request to pass the data portion of the Ethernet frame to the ARP process?
The type field 0x806 appears in the header of the Ethernet frame.
Which statement describes the treatment of ARP requests on the local link?
They are received and processed by every device on the local network.
How do hosts ensure that their packets are directed to the correct network destination?
They have to keep their own local routing table that contains a route to the loopback interface, a local network route, and a remote default route.
Which field in the IPv4 header is used to prevent a packet from traversing a network endlessly?
Time-to-Live
What is a basic characteristic of the IP protocol?
connectionless
A router receives a packet from the Gigabit 0/0 interface and determines that the packet needs to be forwarded out the Gigabit 0/1 interface. What will the router do next?
