An IPv4 address
- B
An IPv6 address
- C
An authoritative name server
- D
A mail server
How many bits are in an IPv4 address?
IPv6 uses -bit addresses.
A host knows the IPv4 address of another device on the same local network but not its Ethernet address. What does IPv4 ARP discover?
- A
The remote server's DNS name
- B
The local destination's MAC address
- C
The packet's transport-layer port
- D
The router's routing metric
True or false: IPv6 defines broadcast addresses for one-to-all delivery.
- A
True
- B
False
Select all statements that accurately describe NAT or NAPT/PAT.
- A
It can translate private internal IPv4 addresses into public IPv4 addresses.
- B
It may track transport-layer port numbers when hosts share a public address.
- C
It automatically provides all access-control functions of a firewall.
- D
It changes the end-to-end addressing model.
How many total IPv4 address values are in a /24 prefix?
A router has routes 10.0.0.0/8 via Router A, 10.20.0.0/16 via Router B, 10.20.5.0/24 via Router C, and 0.0.0.0/0 via Router D. For destination 10.20.5.17, the selected next hop is .

2
- B
4
- C
8
- D
16
Select all functions supported by IPv6 Neighbor Discovery.
- A
Address resolution
- B
Router discovery
- C
Duplicate-address detection
- D
Translation of private IPv4 addresses to public IPv4 addresses
Explain how DNS, IP routing, and ARP or IPv6 Neighbor Discovery contribute different functions when a host connects to a service by domain name.
A router has selected an outgoing interface and decremented the packet's TTL or Hop Limit. What is the next forwarding action when the next-hop link-layer address is not already known?
- A
Resolve the destination domain name with DNS
- B
Restore the original link-layer header unchanged
- C
Determine the next-hop link-layer address if necessary
- D
Change the IP destination to the next router's address
True or false: Internet Protocol itself guarantees that every packet will be delivered exactly once and in the original order.
- A
True
- B
False
A client needs DNS information identifying a service's protocol, port, and target host. Which record type supplies that information?
- A
A
- B
AAAA
- C
CNAME
- D
SRV
What IPv6 protocol mechanism resolves a local IPv6 address to link-layer information and also supports router discovery?
A service assigns the same IPv6 address to interfaces in several locations so that routing sends each client to one normally closest location. What address type is being used?
- A
Unicast
- B
Anycast
- C
Multicast
- D
Broadcast

- C
172.32.4.1
- D
173.20.4.1

- A
Router A via 10.0.0.0/8
- B
Router B via 10.20.0.0/16
- C
Router C via 10.20.5.0/24
