Refer to the exhibit. The routing table for R2 is as follows:
Gateway of last resort is not set 10.0.0.0/30 is subnetted, 2 subnets C 10.0.0.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0 C 10.0.0.4 is directly connected, Serial0/0/1 192.168.10.0/26 is subnetted, 3 subnets S 192.168.10.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0 C 192.168.10.64 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0 S 192.168.10.128 [1/0] via 10.0.0.6
What will router R2 do with a packet destined for 192.168.10.129?
- drop the packet
- send the packet out interface Serial0/0/0
- send the packet out interface Serial0/0/1
- send the packet out interface FastEthernet0/0
| Answers Explanation & Hints:
When a static route is configured with the next hop address (as in the case of the 192.168.10.128 network), the output of the show ip route command lists the route as “via” a particular IP address. The router has to look up that IP address to determine which interface to send the packet out. Because the IP address of 10.0.0.6 is part of network 10.0.0.4, the router sends the packet out interface Serial0/0/1. |
