What is the primary purpose of routing in a network?

To assign IP addresses to devices on a network

To filter traffic based on port numbers

To forward packets from one network to another based on destination IP addresses

To translate private IP addresses to public IP addresses

A network has two paths to the same destination network: a static route with administrative distance 1 and a dynamic route (OSPF) with administrative distance 110. Both routes have the same prefix length. Which route will be installed in the routing table?

Both routes will be installed and load-balanced

The OSPF route, because dynamic routes are always preferred

The static route, because it has a lower administrative distance

The route with the higher metric will be installed

A network administrator is configuring a new IoT sensor that only supports IPv6. The sensor must communicate with a management server that is on the same local link. Which address type should the sensor use to reach the server without any router involvement?

Unique local address (FC00::/7)

Global unicast address (2000::/3)

A network engineer is configuring a dual-stack host that will use both IPv4 and IPv6. The host needs to communicate with a server that has only an IPv6 address. Which configuration is required on the host?

An IPv6 address and a default IPv6 gateway

An IPv4 address and an IPv6 address

An IPv4 address and a default IPv4 gateway

What is the primary purpose of an IP address on a network?

To uniquely identify a device on a network and enable communication with other devices

To encrypt data transmitted between two devices

To define the maximum speed at which a device can communicate

To physically connect a device to a network switch or router
