H12-211 Exam - Question 57


Exam H12-211 Question 57

Refer to the graphic. Which of the following statements is correct when this router forwards the packet to the destination host 9.1.4.5?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

When a router forwards a packet, it matches the destination IP address to the most specific route in the routing table. In this case, the router has two routes: 9.0.0.0/8 via OSPF and 9.1.0.0/16 via RIP. The destination host 9.1.4.5 falls under both prefixes, but 9.1.0.0/16 is more specific than 9.0.0.0/8 because it has a longer subnet mask (16 bits versus 8 bits). Therefore, the router will select the second entry, which is the RIP route with the more specific match.
