Host A has address 10.1.10.25/24 and default gateway 10.1.10.1. It needs to send a packet to 10.2.20.50. What should Host A do first?
- A
Send it directly to 10.2.20.50 because the host knows the destination address.
- B
Send it to the default gateway, 10.1.10.1.
- C
Send it to R1's next-hop address, 10.0.12.2.
- D
Send it to the server's gateway, 10.2.20.1.

An OSPF router has two equal-cost paths to the same destination. What may happen?
- A
The router must discard both paths because they have equal cost.
- B
The router must select the path learned most recently.
- C
The router may use both paths, depending on implementation and configuration.
- D
The router must select the path with the higher OSPF cost.

If R1's LAN interface stays up while its upstream path fails, R1 could remain active unless the configuration detects the upstream failure and reduces its HSRP .

A router has installed routes for 10.2.0.0/16 from static configuration and 10.2.20.0/24 from OSPF. Which route matches a packet destined for 10.2.20.50?
- A
The static 10.2.0.0/16 route, because static routes always win.
- B
The OSPF 10.2.20.0/24 route, because it is the longest matching prefix.
- C
The route with the lower administrative distance, even if its prefix is shorter.
- D
Neither route; different route sources cannot match the same destination.

A client-to-server test fails. Which checks help diagnose whether routing supports the complete exchange? Select all that apply.
- A
Inspect the selected route for the server's destination.
- B
Treat an OSPF neighbor relationship as proof that the server prefix is installed.
- C
Check whether the selected next hop is reachable.
- D
Check whether the destination-side router has a route back to Host A's subnet.

Which statements correctly describe a floating static route? Select all that apply.
- A
It is configured with an administrative distance higher than the preferred dynamic route.
- B
It may be installed if the preferred route disappears.
- C
It automatically guarantees delivery as soon as the preferred route disappears.
- D
Its next hop and the rest of the backup path must work for it to be useful.

A packet travels from a host through R1 and then R2. Which statement describes how the routers make forwarding decisions?
- A
R1's routing table contains the single end-to-end path all routers must follow.
- B
Each router makes its own forwarding decision for the packet.
- C
R2 can forward the packet only if R1 has the same route source installed.
- D
Once the host sends the packet, the routers no longer consult routes.

An HSRP group is operating normally with preemption enabled. R1 has priority 110 and R2 has priority 100. Which router is intended to become active?
- A
R2, because the router with the lower priority becomes active
- B
R1, because its priority is higher and preemption is enabled
- C
R2, because HSRP always selects the router with the higher physical IP address
- D
Neither router, because HSRP requires hosts to choose between the physical IP addresses

A router learns two routes to the same destination through OSPF. One path has cost 20 and the other has cost 35. Which path does OSPF prefer?

The path with the fewest routers, regardless of link costs

The path advertised by the router with the lowest administrative distance
- C
The path with the lower OSPF cost
- D
The path with the highest OSPF cost

R1 has a static route to 10.2.0.0/16 and an installed OSPF route to 10.2.20.0/24. Which route does R1 use to forward a packet to 10.2.20.50?
- A
The static 10.2.0.0/16 route, because static routes always beat OSPF routes
- B
The OSPF 10.2.20.0/24 route, because it is the longest matching prefix
- C
The static 10.2.0.0/16 route, because its prefix is shorter
- D
Neither route, because routes from different sources cannot match the same destination

R1 forwards a packet from Host A's 10.1.10.0/24 subnet to a server, but R2 has no route to 10.1.10.0/24. What is the likely result when the server replies?
- A
The reply may fail because R2 needs a route to Host A's subnet
- B
The reply will succeed because the forward path automatically installs a return route
- C
The reply can succeed only if Host A changes its default gateway to R2
- D
The reply will succeed as long as R1 has a route to the server
