Implementing Cisco Service Provider Advanced Routing Solutions (SPRI) — Question 36

An engineer wants to map a multicast IP address to a multicast MAC. How many bits are used to make the conversion?

Answer options

• A. low-order 23 bits
• B. higher-order 23 bits
• C. lower-order 24 bits
• D. high-order 24 bits

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as the conversion from multicast IP to multicast MAC uses the low-order 23 bits of the IP address. The other options are incorrect because they refer to either higher-order bits or the wrong number of bits altogether.
