A network has two routers, R1 and R2, connected via a serial link. R1 has a route to network 192.168.10.0/24 via R2. A PC on a LAN attached to R1 sends a packet to a server on 192.168.10.0/24. What does R1 do with the packet?

R1 broadcasts the packet to all interfaces.

R1 sends the packet to the default gateway of the PC.

R1 forwards the packet to R2 based on its routing table.

R1 drops the packet because the destination is not directly connected.

What characteristic defines a device as an endpoint in a network?

It forwards traffic between networks

It manages other network devices

It originates or consumes network traffic

A small office wants to provide Wi-Fi to guests and staff. The only network drop available is a single Ethernet cable from the main switch. The office also wants to centrally manage the wireless settings and avoid running new power cabling. Which solution best meets these requirements?

Deploy a Layer 3 switch with wireless capabilities.

Install a standalone access point with its own power adapter and configure it locally.

Use a wireless router in place of the access point and connect it to the switch.

Install a PoE-powered access point and manage it from a network controller.

What additional capability does a Layer 3 switch have compared to a Layer 2 switch?

It can provide wireless access to clients

It can connect to the internet using a modem

It can inspect application-layer traffic

It can perform routing between VLANs
