Actual exam question for GIAC's GSNA exam

Question #: 56
Topic #: 6

[All GSNA Questions]

The following output is generated by running the show ip route command:

RouterA#show ip route

< - - Output Omitted for brevity - ->

Which next hop address will RouterA use in forwarding traffic to 10.10.100.0/24?

A192.168.10.0

B172.18.60.1

C172.18.50.1

D172.18.1.1

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

The routing table displays various RIP and Connected routes. There is no routing entry for 10.10.100.0/24, but there is a default route in the

routing table using 172.18.1.1 as the next hop router. Given that 10.10.100.0/24 does not have a direct entry in the routing table, RouterA

will forward traffic to the default route next hop address of 172.18.1.1.

Answer A is incorrect. The address does not appear in the routing table as a next hop router, in addition to being an actual subnet

number for 192.168.10.0/24.

Answer C is incorrect. 172.18.50.1 is the next hop for reaching 192.168.11.0.

Answer B is incorrect. 172.18.60.1 is the next hop for reaching 192.168.12.0.

The next hop is usually the most specific route.

I’m a bit confused about the subnetting here. I think it might be 172.18.50.1, but I need to double-check the routing protocols we discussed.

I remember that the next hop is usually the one listed under the specific route for the destination network. I just hope I can recall the output correctly.

I practiced a similar question where we had to identify the next hop based on the routing table. I feel like 172.18.60.1 might be the right choice, but I'm not entirely sure.

I think the next hop should be the one with the lowest administrative distance, but I can't remember which one that is for these options.

No problem, I've seen questions like this before. I'll methodically go through the routing table and match the destination network to the correct next hop.

Okay, I've got this. The key is to identify the route to the 10.10.100.0/24 network and then look at the corresponding next hop address.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to review the routing table information closely to figure out which next hop address RouterA will use.

This looks like a straightforward routing question. I'll need to carefully analyze the output from the show ip route command to determine the next hop address.

I'm pretty sure Diovan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker, not a calcium channel blocker. That's my best guess for the answer.
