1. Define : route, routing table, routing information, static route, default route
2. Name one of the basic functions of a router.
3. What are the sources for routing information?
4. What happens when a router does not know the destination network of a data packet?
5. For multiple paths to the same destination network, what does the router do?
6. A router receives a data packet, with the destination address being 195.26.17.4. Which subnet is this
address in?
7. Describe the contents of this routing table

8. Consider the network below:

A. Give the routing tables of R1 and R2

B. Add the static routes allowing PC1 and PC2 to communicate.

9. Which of the following static routes will a router select from its IP routing table to forward IP packets
whose destination IP address is 8.1.1.1?

A. 0.0.0.0/0 B. 8.0.0.0/8

C. 8.1.0.0/16 D. 81.0.0.0/16

10. Which of the following static routes will a router select from its IP routing table to forward IP packets
whose destination IP address is 8.1.1.1?

A. 0.0.0.0/0 B. 8.2.0.0/16

C. 8.1.2.0/24 D. 18.1.0.0/16

11. A router runs both RIP and OSPF. RIP discovers two routes to 9.0.0.0/8, one with the cost being 5 and
the other with the cost being 7. OSPF discovers a route to 9.0.0.0/8 with the cost being 100. In addition,
a static route to 9.0.0.0/8 is manually configured, with the cost being 60. By default, which of these four
routes will be injected into the router’s IP routing table?

A. Static route with the cost 60 B. RIP route with the cost 5

C. RIP route with the cost 7 D. OSPF route with the cost 100

12. The routing table on R1 is as follows.

Which of the following statements is true ?

A. The router forwards data packets with the destination IP address 10.0.12.1 through Eth0/0/0

B. The router forwards data packets with the destination IP address 10.0.3.3 through Eth0/0/0

C. The next hope of route destined for 10.0.3.3/32 is not directly connected. As a result, the router does
not forward data packets with the destination IP address 10.0.3.3.

DThe router forwards data packets with the destination IP address 10.0.2.2 through Eth0/0/0

13. Which of the routes will be used in order to forward traffic to the destination host address of 172.16.1.1?
A. Static route 172.16.0.0/16 containing a preference of 5 and a cost of 0
B. Static route 172.16.1.0/24 containing a preference of 80 and a cost of 0
C. OSPF route 172.16.1.0/24 containing a preference of 10 and a cost of 200.
D. The two static routes will be active at the same time based on the cost value of 0.
14. True of False

A. The NBMA mode requires all the routers in the network to be fully connected; otherwise, it does not
function.

B. LS Update packets are sent only after an adjacency is established.

C. If a BDR fails, the DR will not take over as the BDR and awaits the fault recovery of the BDR. No
new BDR will be elected.

D. Different network segments can be in the same OSPF area and the same network segment can be in
different OSPF areas.

E. A router may be a DR on one Layer 2 network but not a DR on another Layer 2 network.

15. OSPF is a link-state routing protocol. What information does the link state contain?
16. What are the different types of OSPF networks that can establish adjacency in the Full state.
17. By default, the cost of an OSPF interface is related to interface bandwidth. Which algorithm is used to
calculate this cost ?
18. Which of the following parameters is used for master/slave rôle election of OSPF ?

A. Sequence for protocols to Start B. Router ID

C. Interface IP address D. OSPF Process ID

19. OSPF packets are encapsulated into IP packets, with the OSPF protocol number 89 in the IP header.
How OSPF packets are classified?

20. After a DR and a BDR are elected, how many adjacencies must be established?
21. What are the different types of routers in an OSPF network?
22. What is the link-state algorithm route calculation process?

23. What are the steps for basic OSPF configuration?

24. How to understand OSPF neighbors and adjacency?
25. How do I understand the concept of area in OSPF?
26. Explain the following figure:

27. Three AR2200 routers (RTA, RTB and RTC) have been configured as part of OSPF Area 0 via interface
Gigabit Ethernet 0/0/0 in all instances. The default broadcast network type has been maintained. In
addition, the three routers have been assigned the following parameters:
For RTA: A Router ID of 1.1.1.1 and an interface Gigabit Ethernet 0/0/0 dr-priority of 0 are used.
For RTB: A Router ID of 2.2.2.2 and an interface Gigabit Ethernet 0/0/0 dr-priority of 255 are used.
For RTC: A Router ID of 3.3.3.3 and the default interface Gigabit Ethernet 0/0/0 dr-priority are used.
For the given scenario, which of the following statements are true?
A. Router RTA will adopt the role of DR and RTB will adopt the role of BDR.
B. Router RTB will adopt the role of DR and RTC will adopt the role of BDR.
C. Router RTB will adopt the role of DR and RTA will adopt the role of BDR.
D. Router RTC will adopt the role of DR and RTB will adopt the role of BDR
