When devices send packets to destinations not on their segment what actions must the router take?
Dieheartm
The router must determine if it has a path to another network or router that may be in the path of the destination. When that occurs, it tries to find the "best path" (least cost) route to the destination. It has to consult its routing tables for that.

Can bridges be used by administrators to segment their LAN?
This is one of the reasons for using a bridge - it supplies LAN segment isolation by not forwarding packets it knows will be delivered in the same segment.
How many devices can be connected to a full-duplex segment?
2 devices
Why a lan user can not monitor the internet?
The simple answer is that a LAN user (client) will not see all of the packets on the Internet; they will only see the packets for their own LAN segment.
What is collison domain?
A collision domain is a physical network segment where data packets can collide with one another when being sent on a shared medium.A group of Ethernet or Fast Ethernet devices in a CSMA/CD LAN that are connected by repeaters and compete for access on the network. Only one device in the collision domain may transmit at any one time, and the other devices in the domain listen to the network in order to avoid data collisions.A collision domain is sometimes referred to as an Ethernet segment.
What must be configured the same on each node that resides in a LAN segment?
The subnet mask must be the same for all devices in the same LAN segment. The IP addresses must be unique (different). Also, the default gateway address is usually the same for all devices in the same LAN segment.
What type of special computer connects one Lan to another Lan?
A LAN Bridge. It is not a special computer per say. A LAN bridge connects two or more LANs at layer two in the OSI network model. The LAN bridge receives packets from a LAN segment connected to one port and forwards them to another LAN segment connected to a different port. While a LAN bridge serves the purpose of extending network range, it also relieves the problem of congestion that multiple devices can cause on a single Ethernet segment.
How does IP layer keep the packets from getting misplaced or collected out of orders?
The IP adds a header of control information to each segment recieved from the TCP in order to form the IP datagram or IP packet. The data can be fragmented to smaller packets if necessary.
What are the applications for measuring and control devices?
Commercial, geophysical, meteorological, and general-purpose instruments and equipment is a large segment in the measuring and controlling devices industry.
When a server responds to a web request what occurs next in the encapsulation process after the web page data is formatted and separated into TCP segment?
The server adds the source and destination IP address to each segment header to deliver the packets to the destination.
What does the computer term bits packet frame segment data mean and in what layer they belong?
Telegrams are sent in data packets. Bits packet frame segment data mean data packet and they belongs to Data link layer. Bye.
Which Layer 1 devices can be used to enlarge the area covered by a single LAN segment?
hub is the device that is used to extend the lan segment and used at layer1 that is physical layer.
Suppose you send data to an address that begins with the format prefix FF0E?
All devices on your network segment.
