A network administrator is configuring a router that connects to two ISPs for redundancy. The router has a default route to ISP1 with administrative distance 1 and a default route to ISP2 with administrative distance 200. What is the effect of this configuration?

Traffic will be load-balanced across both ISPs

ISP2 will be used because it has a higher AD

ISP1 will be used, and ISP2 will be used only if ISP1 fails

Both routes will be installed, and the router will use the one with the lower metric

A network engineer is designing a network that must support a large number of devices and provide automatic address configuration. The engineer decides to use IPv6. Which IPv6 feature enables hosts to automatically configure their own addresses without a DHCP server?

Network Address Translation (NAT)

Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC)

A workstation in VLAN 10 (192.168.10.0/24) needs to reach a server in VLAN 20 (192.168.20.0/24). The router's interface in VLAN 10 is 192.168.10.1. The workstation's IP is 192.168.10.100. What must be configured on the workstation to enable this communication?

A static route to 192.168.20.0/24 via 192.168.10.1

A DNS server address of 192.168.10.1

The default gateway set to 192.168.10.1

The subnet mask changed to 255.255.0.0

A network administrator is troubleshooting intermittent connectivity between two sites. The routing table on the edge router shows a static route to 10.0.0.0/8 via 192.168.1.254 and a dynamic route (OSPF) to 10.0.0.0/16 via 192.168.2.254. Both routes are active. Which route will be used for a packet destined to 10.0.1.1?

The router will drop the packet because of conflicting routes

Both routes are used for load balancing

How does a router typically learn about the next hop for a route?

From the routing table, which can be populated by static configuration or dynamic routing protocols

From the ARP cache of the router

From the DHCP server on the local network
