remove the Ethernet header and configure a new Layer 2 header before sending it out S0/0/0
open the header and replace the destination MAC address with a new one
open the header and use it to determine whether the data is to be sent out S0/0/0
nothing, because the router has a route to the destination network
What will happen if the default gateway address is incorrectly configured on a host?
The host cannot communicate with other hosts in the local network.
The host cannot communicate with hosts in other networks.
A ping from the host to 127.0.0.1 would not be successful.
The host will have to use ARP to determine the correct address of the default gateway.
The switch will not forward packets initiated by the host.
What are two features of ARP? (Choose two.)
If a host is ready to send a packet to a local destination device and it has the IP address but not the MAC address of the destination, it generates an ARP broadcast.
An ARP request is sent to all devices on the Ethernet LAN and contains the IP address of the destination host and its multicast MAC address.
If a device receiving an ARP request has the destination IPv4 address, it responds with an ARP reply.
If no device responds to the ARP request, then the originating node will broadcast the data packet to all devices on the network segment.

When the user connects to a POP server, copies of the messages are kept in the mail server for a short time, but IMAP keeps them for a long time.
IMAP sends and retrieves email, but POP only retrieves email.

What are two problems that can be caused by a large number of ARP request and reply messages? (Choose two.)
The ARP request is sent as a broadcast, and will flood the entire subnet.
All ARP request messages must be processed by all nodes on the local network.
A large number of ARP request and reply messages may slow down the switching process, leading the switch to make many changes in its MAC table
The network may become overloaded because ARP reply messages have a very large payload due to the 48-bit MAC address and 32-bit IP address that they contain.
