ITPEC IP April 2019 Question 31
ITPEC IP April 2019 — Question 31 of 100
The default gateway is the entrance and exit used to reach destinations outside the local network. A host sends packets for remote networks to this router, which forwards them toward the Internet or another network.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- a splitter separates or combines signals on a physical line
- a hub connects devices within the same local network segment
- a repeater regenerates a weakened signal to extend transmission distance
Key rule: Local traffic can be delivered directly, but traffic for a different IP network is sent to the configured default gateway.
