Refer to the exhibit. Assume that all router interfaces are operational and correctly configured. In
addition, assume that OSPF has been correctly configured on router R2. How will the default route
configured on R1 affect the operation of R2?

A.
Any packet destined for a network that is not directly connected to router R2 will be dropped
immediately.

B.
Any packet destined for a network that is not referenced in the routing table of router R2 will be
directed to R1. R1 will then send that packet back to R2 and a routing loop will occur.

C.
Any packet destined for a network that is not directly connected to router R1 will be dropped.

D.
The networks directly connected to router R2 will not be able to communicate with the
172.16.100.0, 172.16.100.128, and 172.16.100.64 subnetworks.

E.
Any packet destined for a network that is not directly connected to router R2 will be dropped
immediately because of the lack of a gateway on R1.

Explanation:
This question is to examine the understanding of the knowledge points about the default routing
and the routing loop.
