Networking Fundamentals Practice Test Summary

ARP is a standard designed to discover the layer 2 MAC address associated with locally connected IP addresses in Wifi and Ethernet.
The TTL field in an IPv4 packet prevents a packet from being caught in an endless routing loop and is decremented by 1 at each router it traverses until it reaches 0.
Layer 3 protocols include ICMP, TCP, and IPv4, but not IPv10.
A missing or incorrectly configured default gateway address on a host can result in an inability to communicate remotely, but still access locally connected resources.
A router extracts the destination IP address from an IPv4 header field to determine where to forward the packet.
IP protocols have high overhead, are dependent on media, and rely on protocols at other layers to detect lost packets.
The routing process involves matching a received packet's destination IP address with one of the routing table's destination networks, forwarding the packet based on the matching entry's details or the default gateway, and dropping the packet if no match can be found.
Routing tables contain dynamically learned entries via routing protocols, directly connected networks, and statically learned entries entered manually by an administrator.
Addresses in the 192.168.10.0/8 network include 192.112.33.1 and 192.168.10.0.
If a switch cannot find a match for the ingress frame's Destination MAC address, it will flood out all ports except the ingress port.
IPv4 address calculations involve binary values for host bits in the broadcast and network addresses, with the number of usable IPs in any network always being 2^h.
A switch learns the MAC addresses of devices connected to its ports from incoming frame's source MAC address.
