Which two statements are true about the IPv4 address of the default gateway configured on a host? (Choose 2.)

Note: You will receive partial credit for each correct selection.

A.

The IPv4 address of the default gateway must be the first host address in the subnet.

Answers
A.

The IPv4 address of the default gateway must be the first host address in the subnet.

B.

The same default gateway IPv4 address is configured on each host on the local network.

Answers
B.

The same default gateway IPv4 address is configured on each host on the local network.

C.

The default gateway is the Loopback0 interface IPv4 address of the router connected to the same local network as the host.

Answers
C.

The default gateway is the Loopback0 interface IPv4 address of the router connected to the same local network as the host.

D.

The default gateway is the IPv4 address of the router interface connected to the same local network as the host.

Answers
D.

The default gateway is the IPv4 address of the router interface connected to the same local network as the host.

E.

Hosts learn the default gateway IPv4 address through router advertisement messages.

Answers
E.

Hosts learn the default gateway IPv4 address through router advertisement messages.

Suggested answer: B, D

Explanation:

* Statement B: 'The same default gateway IPv4 address is configured on each host on the local network.' This is true because all hosts on the same local network (subnet) use the same default gateway IP address to send packets destined for other networks.

* Statement D: 'The default gateway is the IPv4 address of the router interface connected to the same local network as the host.' This is true because the default gateway is the IP address of the router's interface that is directly connected to the local network.

* Statement A: 'The IPv4 address of the default gateway must be the first host address in the subnet.' This is not necessarily true. The default gateway can be any address within the subnet range.

* Statement C: 'The default gateway is the Loopback0 interface IPv4 address of the router connected to the same local network as the host.' This is not true; the default gateway is the IP address of the router's physical or logical interface connected to the local network.

* Statement E: 'Hosts learn the default gateway IPv4 address through router advertisement messages.' This is generally true for IPv6 with Router Advertisement (RA) messages, but not typically how IPv4 hosts learn the default gateway address.

* Cisco Default Gateway Configuration: Cisco Default Gateway
