ITPEC IP April 2020 Question 31
ITPEC IP April 2020 — Question 31 of 100
PC1's default gateway is the router interface on LAN1. When PC1 sends a packet to a destination outside its own subnet, it forwards the packet to that router, which connects LAN1 to other networks.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- the firewall is beyond the router on LAN2 and is not PC1's immediate next hop
- the DHCP server supplies network configuration but is not the gateway
- the proxy handles selected application requests and is not the IP routing gateway
Key rule: A host's default gateway is the router interface reachable on the host's local subnet.
