Answer : D

Explanation:

ARP – Address Resolution Protocol
It is used to find the MAC address from known IP address.
ARP is used to convert an IP address to a physical address such as an Ethernet address (MAC Address).

If a host or device transmitting data to another network (not same IP subnet), then data will forward to default gateway.

In the exhibit, the Host A is transmitting data to Host B, then Host A forward the packet to Router1, for that communication Host A needs MAC address of Router1. If we check the ARP cache of Host A, we will get 192.168.6.1 – 000f.2480.8916.

    I saw an answer to this question in a ccna dump as A and not D. A bit not clear. Please enlighten me. Thanks

    What host A would do is:
    – Host A knew that the IP address of host B is not in the same subnet so it would send the ICMP message (or ping) to default gateway which is 192.168.6.1 (fa0/0). However, it needs to know the actually physical address of this IP address to do so.
    – To get the MAC address host A will send ARP request (broadcast) with the IP address 192.168.6.1 as destination. F0/0 gets it and send back the MAC address. THIS MAC ADDRESS and the IP address 192.168.6.1 of F0/0 will be recorded in ARP cache of host A for future use.

    Thank you, I also did the sim in packet tracert and indeed is the router what appears in arp -a. Dump is wrong. Thanks

    It is easy to test it on Packet Tracer and observe that the correct answer is D.

Cisco Packet Tracer Multi User Connection

Multiuser communication allows multiple point-to-point (peer) connections between multiple instances of Packet Tracer. By allowing communication between Packet Tracer instances, a new door has been opened to a fun, interactive, social, collaborative, and competitive learning environment. Instructors will now be able to create a variety of activities for students to learn in groups that will facilitate greater social interaction between students. Students will benefit from this environment by working together to solve problems and share ideas. Both students and teachers should take full advantage that Multiuser will offer in their learning environment. Technical Information Communicates between instances using PTMP. PTMP is TCP based. By default, uses TCP port 38000, is customizable, and each new instances on the same PC will use the next available port. On by default. UPnP will attempt to establish port forwarding to facilitate home networks. All network co...

An administrator is trying to ping and telnet from Switch to Router with the results shown below: For this question we only need to use the show running-config command to answer all the questions below: Router>enable Router#show running-config   Question 1 Which will fix the issue and allow ONLY ping to work while keeping telnet disabled? A. Correctly assign an IP address to interface fa0/1 B. Change the ip access-group command on fa0/0 from “in” to “out” C. Remove access-group 106 in from interface fa0/0 and add access-group 115 in. D. Remove access-group 102 out from interface s0/0/0 and add access-group 114 in E. Remove access-group 106 in from interface fa0/0 and add access-group 104 in Answer : E Explanation: The question was not about FTP so skip line #1 and line #2. The line #3 denies telnet traffic and line #4 permits icmp-echo traffic. L...

Host A pings interface S0/0 on router 3. What is the TTL value for that ping?

Refer to the exhibit. Host A pings interface S0/0 on router 3. What is the TTL value for that ping? A. 252 B. 253 C. 254 D. 255 Answer : B Explanation: The TTL or Time-To-Live gives you an indication of the number of routers between the source and destination. The TTL is used to prevent an IP packet from looping inside an IP network and causing a network meltdown. The initial TTL packet value for an IP packet is 255 and then it is decremented by 1 each time it encounters a router. When this value reaches 0, the packet is discarded by a router. The TTL value is contained in each IP packet including ICMP packets. The TTL value given by the ping command is in fact the TTL value of an echo_response packet. By default, Windows will decrease the TTL by 128 and Ubuntu Linux by 192. The above the exact topology of this questions. I used 10.0.0.1 for Host A’s IP address and 12.0.0.2 for R3 S0/0’s IP address. All router has been config...
