QuestionQ41

IP Connectivity

Which two statements are correct about the IPv4 address of the default gateway configured on a host?

Note: Partial credit is awarded for each correct selection.

Choose two
  • A The IPv4 address of the default gateway must be the first host address in the subnet.
  • B The default gateway is the Loopback0 interface IPv4 address of the router connected to the same local network as the host.
  • C The default gateway is the IPv4 address of the router interface connected to the same local network as the host.
  • D The same default gateway IPv4 address is configured on each host on the local network.
  • E Hosts learn the default gateway IPv4 address through router advertisement messages.
Explanation

An IPv4 default gateway is the IPv4 address of a router interface on the same local network or subnet as the host, so that the host can send traffic for remote networks to that router. Hosts on the same local network use the same gateway address for that network. The gateway address is not required to be the first usable address, and router advertisements are an IPv6 mechanism rather than the normal source of IPv4 default-gateway configuration.
