CompTIA Network+ N10-009 Practice Question
A network technician is investigating issues in a corporate environment where users report slow internet speeds. Upon reviewing the routing table on the primary router, the technician notices an incorrect default route configuration. What would be the most likely impact of this misconfiguration on the network?
Misconfigured routes increase the risk of IP address conflicts within the network.
Inaccurate routing tables decrease the efficiency of load balancers.
It leads to excessive ARP traffic as routers query for non-existent MAC addresses.
Network packets are routed to an incorrect gateway, causing delays or failure in reaching external networks.
The routing loop causes broadcast storms, saturating the network.
