Answer A is incorrect. If select 10.0.1.0/28 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.240. Then, host address range will be 10.10.1.1 to 10.10.1.14. Therefore, it coorrect answer should be B.

Well, what if its sending a broadcast? 10.0.1.15 still belongs to 10.0.1.0/28 subnet. Answer: A

Forget the comment above. The question states that is trying to connect to a host via SSH... Sorry!!

Because I think .15 is the broadcast for the /28 network and here its via SSH.. is that what you mean is wrong?

routing protocol does not take into consideration what the services / end user trying to do, hence SSH means nothing to routing protocol. routing protocol just take the IP address and first match with the longest prefix, hence to answer a routing protocol question, 10.0.1.15 does fall into 10.0.1.0/28 route in the routing table.

Things like network or broadcast address have nothing to do with routing, if the address u try to access is in the subnet it will route it, no questions asked.

I think even answer B is incorrect. As there is another route in the table stating that 10.0.1.0/24 network is directly connected on Serial0. And if I understand the previous entry conrrectly, Serial0 interface has 192.168.0.40. (Probably) Answer C

C is 192.168.0.40 - 10.0.1.3/32 via 192.168.0.40. That is not the host, you are looking for 10.0.1.15.

Well, in the question is not mentioned that the IP is a host, so then you can have .15 as the broadcast IP valid.

Yes, if people not think the answer is A (192.168.0.7). With same prefix, the next hop should be chosen directly connected with AD=0.

Agreed. It should be Serial0 IP and none of the options listed is for Serial0.

the longest prefix /24 no /28 because it will give 14 hosts and the 10.10.1.15 is the broadcast while /24 give you 30 hosts the 10.0.1.15 is inclusive

The routing process doesn't know ssh or anything about the host or broadcast. 10.0.1.15 goes to 10.0.1.0/28. But the ssh command won't work.

Selected Answer: B
it´s B It should be Serial0 because of the double /24s, the connected one has lower AD. But Serial0 isn´t listed in the options, so we have only B as a choice.

Both entries have the same administrative distance (10), but the first entry (O) has a longer prefix length (/24) compared to the second entry (D) with a shorter prefix length (/28). Since the destination IP address (10.0.1.15) falls within the range of the longer prefix (10.0.1.0/24), the first entry will be used. Therefore, the next hop to the destination address 10.0.1.15 is: A. 192.168.0.4

Spoke to a couple of guys and dug it up a bit, B is the correct answer, A is incorrect because router wouldn't use 10.0.1.0/28 subnet route, since the destination IP (10.0.1.15) would be a broadcast address for this subnet, so because the question states: "trying to connect via ssh" it can't be used

Selected Answer: B
A is incorrect because using /28 SM 10.0.1.15 will be the broadcast address, we need a usable IP B is inclusive of the destination address and correct C is incorrect, it's a host route that leads only to the host with IP 10.0.1.3 D being used as the next hop isn't even in the routing table
