    (212) Which of these is an example of an Exterior Gateway Protocol?

    • A. Open Shortest Path First.

    • B. Border Gateway Protocol.

    • C. Routing Information Protocol.

    • D. Enhanced Gateway Routing Protocol.

    Correct Answer
    A. B. Border Gateway Protocol.
    Explanation
    Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an example of an Exterior Gateway Protocol. BGP is used to exchange routing information between different autonomous systems (AS) on the internet. It is responsible for determining the best path for data to travel across multiple networks. BGP is widely used by internet service providers (ISPs) to establish and maintain routing tables, allowing for efficient and reliable routing of internet traffic between different networks. Other options mentioned, such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Routing Information Protocol (RIP), and Enhanced Gateway Routing Protocol (EGRP), are examples of Interior Gateway Protocols (IGP), which are used within a single network or autonomous system.

    (201) At what Open System Interconnect layer do routers operate?

    • A. Network.

    • B. Physical.

    • C. Data Link.

    • D. Transport.

    Correct Answer
    A. A. Network.
    Explanation
    Routers operate at the Network layer of the Open System Interconnect (OSI) model. The Network layer is responsible for routing packets across different networks, determining the best path for data transmission, and addressing logical network addresses. Routers use IP addresses to make routing decisions and connect different networks together. They analyze the destination IP address of a packet and use routing tables to determine the next hop for forwarding the packet to its destination. Therefore, the correct answer is a. Network.
