Refer To The Exhibit.Which Route From The Pc1 Routing Table Will Be Used To Reach Pc2?

Routers are the need of this world in which the internet and the connections are the basic needs of human life. The router is used to connect the devices which are separated from each other at a very large distance.

The router uses some of the algorithms or methods to route the data from one end of the device to the other end of the connected device. The router connects the devices with the help of the cable such as the fiber optics with some standard bandwidth. The main advantage of the routers is that it prevents the disturbance when someone is connected router stops the interference.

IP routing

Routers have different phenomena in the process of routing the packets. Ip routing is one of the phenomena, it is the process of the packet’s transmission from one end to another with the help of the IP addresses. The router’s role in this is to identify the IP address of the destination device and then route the packets toward it.

Routing table 

The routing table is the other phenomenon it is used to help the router to identify the IP address and the next-hop address of the destination device. Different types of routes are formed in the routing table and the values in the routing table contain the destination address, metric, gateway, subnet mask face, and interface. All of them have their values and are essential to transfer any packets in the process of routing.

Let’s take a look at the values which are needed in the routing table path in the following:

Default Gateway

The default gateway is the router and it is used in that system where the destination device has no next-hop address and the packets have no other way to arrive in the network.

That’s why the host is maintained in a way that the packets in the network first go toward the default gateway. The gateway then transfers the packets by giving them the path or route toward the source end host.

Metric

For a specific interface of the network, the metric is allocated to the Route of the IP.it determines the weight or cost of the route. The metric determines whether the path is good and effective or not. The metric may the speed of the network or the amount of time the packets reach toward the destination.

Subnet mask 

The subnet mask is used to identify the network address and the host address when the IP address is distinguished into pieces by the process of the subnetting. The subnet mask has the table itself where the values are different for the classes if the TP addresses.

A question is common in the exams related to the routes in the routing table and it is listed here with the explanation in the following:

Refer to the exhibit. Which route from the PC1 routing table will be used to reach PC2?

A table with the values such as the destination network has 192.168.10.0., the netmask has the value 255.255.255.0, the gateway has the on-link value, the value of the interface is 192.168.10.10. and the metric with 281 value, used to help the PC1 routing table to PC2.
