CCNA  Practice Quiz – IP Routing


1. When a packet is passed through the network, its ___________ is changed at every hop, while _______ remains the same.

The destination mac address is changed at every hop, whereas the destination IP address remains the same until it reaches the final destination.

2. It is a process or mechanism to send IP packets from source to destination across the different networks using the best possible path.

  1. Switching
  2. Routing
  3. Redirecting
  4. Transfering

Answer: Option B

Explanation: The correct option is B.
Routing is the process of forwarding packets from source to destination through the best possible shortest path and efficiently.

3. Which of the following statements are true about the static routing? Choose any two.

Explanation: The correct answer is B.

5. Which of the following types of addresses are automatically added to the routing table, when you assign an IP address to a router interface and run the “no shut down” command?

  1. Static, Connected
  2. Connected, local
  3. Local, static
  4. only local

Answer: Option B

Explanation: The correct option is B.
The directly connected networks are automatically added to the routing table. Local refers to the IP address assigned to the directly connected interface.
6. Refer to the following exhibit.

What will be the next-hop IP address of Router 1?

  1. 10.10.10.10
  2. 10.10.10.0
  3. 10.10.10.20
  4. 10.10.10.0/24

Answer: Option C

Explanation: The correct option is C.
The next-hop of Router 1 is Router 2. The interface of Router 2 that is connected to the router is the next-hop interface of Router 1.
7. Which of the following routing processes use routing protocols to build routing tables?

  1. static routing
  2. dynamic routing
  3. default routing
  4. All of the above

Answer: Option B

Explanation: The correct option is  B.
Dynamic routing uses routing protocols to decide the best path for packet transmission from source to destination.

8. What is the value of the administrative distance of a directly connected interface?

  1. 0
  2. 1
  3. 2
  4. 10

Answer: Option A

Explanation: The correct answer is option A
9. What is the value of the administrative distance of static routing?

  1. 0
  2. 1
  3. 2
  4. 10

Answer: Option B

Explanation: The correct answer is option B.

10.The router has learned network number 172.25.10.0/24 from its neighbour via multiple routing protocols. Which of the following route is updated to the routing table?

  1. route with the shortest prefix length
  2. route with the lowest administrative distance
  3. route with the highest next-hop address
  4. route with the highest administrative distance

Answer: Option B

Explanation: The correct answer is option B.
When multiple routing protocols are configured in a router, the router selects the best path having the lowest administrative distance (AD).

11. A network administrator enters a command –

IP route 172.25.10. 0 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.2

Which of the following options will justify the above command issued?

  1. The command is used to establish the default route.
  2. The command is used to establish the static route.
  3.  The command is used to establish the stub network.
  4. The command is used to configure dynamic routing.

Answer: Option B

Explanation: The correct answer is option B.
 The command to establish static routing is –
Router(config)#ip route <destination network> <subnetmask> <next hop interface IP address>

12. The metric used by distance vector routing protocols to select the best possible path between source to destinition is ________.

  1. link speed
  2. network topology 
  3. hop count
  4. cost

Answer: Option C

Explanation: The correct option is C.
Hop count is the metric used by the dynamic routing protocol to select the best path.
13. How do the link-state protocols determine the best possible path from source to destination?

  1. The link-state protocol builds up the topology map of the entire network.
  2. It uses the Dikshtras algorithm to find the shortest path from one node to every other node.
  3. Link bandwidth is taken as one of the major metrics to calculate the shortest path.
  4. All of the above
