Why does the switch between Host and the router not require configuration with an IP address to forward packets?
If a switch is connected to a router then the MAC address of the router is known to the switch through that port.
A host takes advantage of this by using the default gateway address (the address of the router) which the switch "knows" by its lookup table. Therefore, the switch can learn the address automatically and no configuration is necessary.
What else can I help you with?
What would the router do with packets destined to 192.168.254.254?
The router will use gateway of last resort IP address to forward packets destined to 192.168.254.254.
What do I do with their router to do the port forward process if I want to host a game on halo and I am using my neighbor's wifi?
In the router there is a configuration page for port forwarding; set the port you want forwarded to the IP address of the host you want to send packets to.
Why cant routers forward packets as fast as bridges can?
It is a fact that bridges forward packets faster when compared to routers. Because router takes time to find the shortest path between source and destination,whereas bridges directly forwards the packets.
What three facts are true about the network portion of an IPv4 address?
The IPv4 address is identical for all hosts in a broadcast domain. The IPv4 addresse varies in length. The IPv4 address is used to forward packets.
Cut-through switches can detect corrupt packets?
Cut-through switches cannot detect corrupt packets as they do not perform error checking before forwarding the packets. They simply read the packet header and quickly forward the packet to the destination without performing any packet integrity checks. This means that corrupted packets may potentially be forwarded without detection.
Which statements describe characteristics of extended access lists?
They check packets by source address They check packets by destination address
In an Internet Protocol Version 4 environments IPv4 what information is used by the router to forward data packets from one interface of a router to another?
destination network address
What needs to be setup on a router to ensure that packets from an unknown destination are forwarded to the next hop?
For a router to forward packets with a destination on a network not in the routing table the gateway of last resort must be set. This can be done on a cisco router by going to global configuration mode and entering the following: Router(config)ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 s0/0/0 this will cause the router to forward all packets with a destination not in the routing table out serial interface 0/0/0.
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 facts are true about the network portion of an IPv4 address?
Here are 3 facts about the network portion of an IPv4 address.Identical for all hosts in a broadcast domainVaries in lengthIs used to forward packets
Difference between 802.2 and 802.3 packets?
.1 packets
How do you block incoming packets spoofed on your address?
do not give out your home address foolishly
