The answer just has to be D. Certbuster reflects my sentiments fully.......
If you have to spend 3 minuted understanding what the question is trying to ask due to CISCO preferring to present questions in a foreign language the test needs to be a whole lot longer than 2 hours, thats without factoring in the 'sims' these days...
DDDDDDDDD
The correct answer is A, because the route for the prefix 10.10.13.160/29 is 10.10.10.0/28. Please you can't argue that 10.10.13.160 is the route , because this is not the route this is destination prefix, therefore the next ho is "the route" , in layman terms a path to reach 10.10.13.160/29 network. Therefore the mask for the route is that of 28 bits long, that is 255.255.255.240.
The given answer is correct; stop searching for the 'squaring of the circle.' It doesn't have such a philosophical interpretation as some are making it out to be. The correct answer is D.
They are trying to trick us. Of course a /29 = 255.255.255.248. But the question: "What is the subnet mask of the route to the 10.10.13.160 prefix?" ...key word is ROUTE. It is not asking what is the mask of the 10.10.13.160 /29. There is a ROUTE to that subnet, and it is asking for the mask of that ROUTE. The ROUTE is 10.10.10.1 (the IP of g0/0), and that IP is part of the 10.10.10.0 /28 network. And we all know that a /28 mask is 255.255.255.240. Therefore the correct answer is A.
- Analyzing the subnet:
10.10.13.144/28
- Last octet:
.144 = 1001/0000
- Range of addresses in this subnet:
10.10.13.144/28
...
10.10.13.159/29
- So, 10.10.13.144/28 never reaches to the 10.10.13.60 route.
THe route is the record ""O 1010.13.160/29 [110/2] via 10.10.10.1...", It's not specific to the ip of next hop. So the network mask of the route is 29.
