  1. Question 1

    Q1. A router has the following routing table entries: (192.168.1.0/24, Ethernet0), (0.0.0.0/0, Serial0). If a packet with destination IP 192.168.1.100 arrives, which interface will it be forwarded to?

    • A) Ethernet0
    • B) Serial0
    • C) Both
    • D) None of these

    Answer: Ethernet0

    Explanation: The router will forward the packet based on the most specific route. Since 192.168.1.0/24 is more specific than 0.0.0.0/0, the packet will be forwarded to Ethernet0.
