Additional Excercise (Network Layer) - Router, IPv4 and IPv6

What is the purpose of router configuration?

• To bake cookies

• To set up and manage the routing functions of a router

• To walk the dog

• To watch TV

Explain the difference between static and dynamic routing in router management.

• Static routing is more secure than dynamic routing.

• Static routing uses wireless connections, while dynamic routing uses wired connections.

• Static routing uses manually configured routes, while dynamic routing uses protocols to automatically update and maintain routing tables.

• Static routing is used for data transmission, while dynamic routing is used for voice transmission.

How can you secure a router from unauthorized access?

• Use a simple and common password

• Leave the default password unchanged

• Set up strong and unique passwords

• Share the password with everyone

What is the role of a routing table in a router?

• It stores information about the best paths for forwarding data packets.

• It controls the temperature of the router

• It stores the router's password

• It plays music for the router

Describe the process of updating a routing table using routing protocols.

• The routing table is updated by manually entering the information

• The routing table is updated by using a GPS system to track the best routes

• The routing table is updated by exchanging routing information using routing protocols.

• The routing table is updated by sending emails to other routers

What is the function of a routing protocol in a network?

• To encrypt data transmission between networks

• To block all incoming and outgoing traffic

• To determine the best path for data to travel from one network to another.

• To automatically update software on network devices

What are the common routing protocols used in router management?

• LAN, WAN, MAN, PAN

• TCP, UDP, HTTP, FTP

• RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, BGP

• IPv4, IPv6, MAC, DNS

Explain the concept of distance vector routing.

• Distance vector routing is a type of algorithm used by routers to determine the best path for data packets based on distance or hop count.

• Distance vector routing is a type of algorithm used by routers to determine the best path for data packets based on IP address.

• Distance vector routing is a type of algorithm used by routers to determine the best path for data packets based on signal strength.

• Distance vector routing is a type of algorithm used by routers to determine the best path for data packets based on packet size.

What is the significance of link-state routing in routing protocols?

• Link-state routing protocols use the complete network topology to make routing decisions.

• Link-state routing protocols use distance-vector routing instead of the complete network topology.

• Link-state routing protocols do not consider network topology when making routing decisions.

• Link-state routing protocols use only a small portion of the network topology to make routing decisions.

Differentiate between interior gateway protocols and exterior gateway protocols.

• Interior gateway protocols are used for local area networks, while exterior gateway protocols are used for wide area networks.

• Interior gateway protocols are used for data encryption, while exterior gateway protocols are used for data decryption.

• Interior gateway protocols are used for wireless communication, while exterior gateway protocols are used for wired communication.

• Interior gateway protocols are used within an autonomous system, while exterior gateway protocols are used between different autonomous systems.
