A router has a default route configured as ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1. The router also has a more specific route to 10.0.0.0/8 via 192.168.2.1. A packet arrives destined for 10.1.2.3. Which route will the router use?

The default route via 192.168.1.1

The router drops the packet because of ambiguity

Both routes will be used for load balancing

The more specific route via 192.168.2.1

A network engineer examines the routing table of a router and sees the entry: O 10.10.10.0/24 [110/65] via 192.168.1.2, 00:12:34, GigabitEthernet0/0. What does the 'O' indicate?

The route was learned from OSPF

The route is directly connected

A router receives two routes to the same destination: one from OSPF (administrative distance 110) and one from EIGRP (administrative distance 90). Which route will be installed in the routing table?

The OSPF route, because it has a higher administrative distance

The EIGRP route, because it has a lower administrative distance

Neither route, because they conflict

Both routes, because they are from different protocols

A branch router has a default route configured as 'S* 0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 203.0.113.1'. A packet destined for 198.51.100.10 arrives, and no more specific route exists. What will the router do?

Forward the packet out the interface associated with 198.51.100.0/24.

Forward the packet to 203.0.113.1 as the gateway of last resort.

Send an ICMP unreachable message because the default route is not a connected route.

Drop the packet because the destination is not in the routing table.
