Question

The “IPX delay number” command will allow an administrator to change the default settings. What are the default settings?

(a) For LAN interfaces, one tick; for WAN interfaces, six ticks

(b) For LAN interfaces, six ticks; for WAN interfaces, one tick

(c) For LAN interfaces, zero ticks; for WAN interfaces, five ticks

(d) For LAN interfaces, five ticks; for WAN interfaces, zero Ticks

The question was posed to me during an internship interview.

My doubt is from IP Routing in chapter Networking of Computer Network

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) For LAN interfaces, one tick; for WAN interfaces, six ticks

The explanation: Tick is basically the update rate of clients in the network. The IPX delay number will give the ticks at a certain time. The default ticks are–for LAN interfaces, one tick, and for WAN interfaces, six ticks.
