| Here's the Q:
What paramater is used with statically assigned routers to tell packets
which interface to use to reach a distant network?
A.) Subnet
B.) Default gateway
C.) Interface
D.) Mask
Is B or C the right answer?
| |
|
| I think it is B. Where are you getiing these questions?
Q | |
|
| I back you up, its B
default gateway is required for static routes.
syntax:
ip route [ip address] [subnet mask] [gateway] [admin distance] | |
|
| The answer is B. Syntax required is <destination network> <subnet mask> <default gateway>, the question talked about an interface ie an exit port or interface, which is the same as the default gateway ie the next hop-address. | |
|
| I tend to deisagree,
Default gateways are used when there are no other entries for the destination network. Packets are sent here as a last resort. (I.e. DEFAULT routing) Static routing uses a next hop address (or exit interface) to reach a pre-defined network.
Refer to page 248 in the Lammle book.

Well, i don't have the book, but i think i maybe changing my mind on this one, in my book, sybex, it says it can be an interface too.
syntax is here
ip route network mask address|interface [distance]
so the answer is probably C
because, an interface can also be the gateway.
any comments? | |
|
| C.) Interface

WARNING: I do my best to provide acurate information, but I've been wrong before...
If you take my word for granted, you do so at your own risk! You better double check! | |

An interface CAN be a default gateway - in default routing.
In static routing, an interface is the exit to the next hop.
Hope this helps! =P

| I would think C also since you can substitute
the exit interface for the next hop address. The term "interface" in the question would imply a hardware thingy vs a "gateway" which I think is more of a software thingy. | |
|
| I would agree and say c.

| Default gateway would be the answer. Most of you have referenced static routes but the more common (and very similar) command for this situation is the default-network. It basically says anything I don't have a route for go here and generally is used to point to the interface that connects your network to the internet.

but, look at the question, the key word is parameter

I feel so unappreciated when nobody reads what I am saying! Default gateways are used in DEFAULT routing, the question asks for STATIC routing, where a next hop or exit interface address is used!
I give up on this thread! =P

The answer is B.
Prove me wrong. ;-)

I agree with Adilux. The key word here is parameter ie a generally applicable standard that describes everything, a common yard-stick. The parameter in this case is the default gateway, it describes an exit interface or the next hop-address ie exit point (gateway). The word interface on its own is vague. | |
|
| I believe the keyword is STATIC (What parameter is used with STATICALLY assigned routers.)
Any command line has parameters, for static routing the relevant paramter would be the exit interface or the next hop.
For default routing, the parameter would be the default gateway.
The answer is C, that's my story and I'm sticking with it! =P

| ok, this is where i got my answer from,
its from the sybex cisco book
" The following are the command line's arguments defined:
Network: dest. network or subnet
Mask: subnet mask
Address: IP addr. of nex hop router
Interface: name of interface to use to get to destination network
Distance: the admin. dist.
if anyone has the sybex CCNA study guide book, its on page. 193
Yes, me too i'm stikcing with "C"
my final answer.

| Anybody interested please reference these pages in the Sybex book.
Default Routing pg 253
Static Routing pg 247
Yango's oroginal question is not so much a syntax question (you don't need to know the correct order or etc) so much as knowing the difference between default and static routing.
Static routing is considered more secure because packets with no entries in the routing table are discarded.
Default routing uses the default gateway to forward all packets destined for unknown networks. (As yankee pointed out.)
Big difference. =P

we must have different books,
but, lets go back to the question.
What paramater is used with statically assigned routers to tell packets
which interface to use to reach a distant network?
A.) Subnet
B.) Default gateway
C.) Interface
D.) Mask
okay, so the parameters are, (the question is asking for the parameter)
ip route network mask address|interface [distance]
the question asks for the parameter, and also tells you "...which interface to use..."
the Interface field must be the parameter you use to specify the Interface to get to the other network.
if this doesn't convince you, i think we need some gurus or tutors. HELP!!!!!!!! | |

I think we're both in agreement that the answer is C. =) I was just elaborating a little more for better coverage of what may be on the CCNA exam. =)

| oh hahaha, sorry, my bad. | |
|
| The correct answer is C. I check the ExamCram Routing and Switching book and the Cisco Press ICRC book. | |
|
| I digress, the answer is C

Thank you all for helping me find the answer to this question.
| |
|
| To quote Lammle (how do you pronounce his last name anyway?):
exit interface: Used in place of the next hop address if desired. Must be on a point-to-point link, such as a WAN (I read distant network from the question). This command does not work on a LAN, for example, Ethernet.
I think this question deals with the command to create a static route. I know you can specify a gateway for a switch, but how would would you specify one for a router?
Anyway, I still think the answer is C. |
