When a router receives a packet with destination address that is within an unknown subnetwork of a directly attached network what is the default behavior if the ip classless command is not enabled?
broadcast the packet through all interfaces except the one on which it was received
What is the effect of a router on delimiting broadcast traffic and conserving bandwidth?
Generally speaking, routers will unicast-forward incoming packets which have a network broadcast address as destination, unless they are directly connected to that network/subnet and therefore know that the destination address is a broadcast address
What device separates broadcast domains?
SwitchDescription: Network Switch a device that seperates the Broadcast domain of a LAN segment from other segments.
How can a router split up broadcast domains?
Since a router does not forward broadcast messages it automatically splits up the broadcast domains for all clients connected to them.
What separates broadcast domains?
router
Wic address is used by the router to direct a packet between networks?
The router only needs to know the next-hop address; in other words, it sends the data to the next router; this next router then takes its own decision.Each router maintains a routing table, with information about where to send IP packets. The information is stored on a per-network basis. When the router receives an IP packet, it consults the routing table, to see what is the next-hop address, and through which interface it must send the packet.The router only needs to know the next-hop address; in other words, it sends the data to the next router; this next router then takes its own decision.Each router maintains a routing table, with information about where to send IP packets.

If you set a systems subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 how many computers can you put on the network without using a router?
254. 256 minus the network address, minus the broadcast address.
Can a router modify a broadcast address?
If you mean your external address that one which other internet user can see out of your network. The answer is yes. If your question is whether your router can hide its real address: the answer is no. If you want to hide your real ip address you need to use one of those proxy servers. And it's rather matter of each computer in your network to have proxy settings set than the router itself.
Which of the following will happen when a client doesn't know the server address on a network containing a router?
The broadcast message is forwarded using an IP helper address, The client broadcasts to find the server
What are broadcast domains created with?
A broadcast domain is created any time you connect several clients together via a network connectivity device, such as a hub or switch or bridge. They would all be in the same broadcast domain for every client connected to them. Since a router does not forward broadcast messages, it creates different broadcast domains.
