Detailed explanation-1: -A computer has to send a packet to a destination host in the same LAN. How will the packet be sent? A. The packet will be sent to the default gateway first, and then, depending on the response from the gateway, it may be sent to the destination host.
Detailed explanation-2: -IP routing is the process of sending packets from a host on one network to another host on a different remote network. This process is usually done by routers. Routers examine the destination IP address of a packet, determine the next-hop address, and forward the packet.
Detailed explanation-3: -The sending host uses a protocol called Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to discover the MAC address of any host on the same local network. The sending host sends an ARP Request message to the entire LAN. The ARP Request is a broadcast message. The ARP Request contains the IP address of the destination device.
Detailed explanation-4: -10) IP looks at the packet’s destination IP address to determine if the packet is for the router. Since the destination IP address is 200.200. 200.5, the router determines from the routing table that 200.200. 200.0 is a directly connected network on interface E1.
