Which command will show the administrative distance of routes?
- A.
R1# show interfaces
- B.
R1# show ip route
- C.
R1# show ip interfaces
- D.
R1# debug ip routing
Correct Answer
B. R1# show ip routeExplanation
The correct answer is "show ip route". This command displays the routing table on the router, including the administrative distance of each route. The administrative distance is a metric used by routers to determine the trustworthiness of a particular route. A lower administrative distance indicates a more reliable route.Rate this question:

How many equal-cost paths can a dynamic routing protocol use for load balancing bydefault?
- A.
2
- B.
3
- C.
4
- D.
6
Correct Answer
A. 2Explanation
A dynamic routing protocol can use two equal-cost paths for load balancing by default. This means that the routing protocol can distribute network traffic across two different paths that have the same cost, allowing for better utilization of available network resources and improving overall network performance. By dividing the traffic between these two paths, the protocol can achieve load balancing and prevent congestion on a single path.Rate this question:

When do directly connected networks appear in the routing table?
- A.
When they are included in a static route
- B.
When they are used as an exit interface
- C.
As soon as they are addressed and operational at Layer 2
- D.
As soon as they are addressed and operational at Layer 3
Correct Answer
D. As soon as they are addressed and operational at Layer 3Explanation
Directly connected networks appear in the routing table as soon as they are addressed and operational at Layer 3. This means that when a network interface on a router is configured with an IP address and is able to communicate with other devices on the same network, the router will add that network to its routing table. This allows the router to know that it can directly reach that network without needing to go through any other routers.Rate this question:

- 4.
Router R1 is using the RIPv2 routing protocol and has discovered multiple unequalpaths to reach a destination network. How will Router R1 determine which path is thebest path to the destination network?
- A.
Lowest metric.
- B.
Lowest metric.
- C.
Lowest administrative distance
- D.
Highest administrative distance
Correct Answer
A. Lowest metric.Explanation
Router R1 will determine the best path to the destination network based on the lowest metric. The metric is a value assigned to each path, indicating the cost or preference of that path. In RIPv2, the metric is typically based on factors such as hop count, bandwidth, delay, reliability, and load. By selecting the path with the lowest metric, Router R1 ensures that it chooses the path with the least cost or best conditions to reach the destination network.Rate this question:

- 5.
Which statement best describes convergence on a network?
- A.
The amount of time required for routers to share administrative configuration changes, such a password changes, from one end of a network to the other end
- B.
The time required for the routers in the network to update their routing tables after a topology change has occurred
- C.
The time required for the routers in one autonomous system to learn routes to desti- nations in another autonomous system
- D.
The time required for routers running disparate routing protocols to update their routing tables
Correct Answer
B. The time required for the routers in the network to update their routing tables after a topology change has occurredExplanation
Convergence on a network refers to the time it takes for routers in the network to update their routing tables after a topology change has occurred. This means that when there is a change in the network's topology, such as a link failure or a new connection, the routers need to adjust their routing tables to reflect the new paths and ensure efficient data transmission. The faster the convergence, the quicker the network can adapt to changes and continue functioning properly.Rate this question:

Designate the following characteristics as belonging to either a classful routing proto-col or a classless routing protocol.1. Does not support discontiguous networks
Correct Answer
classfull routing protocolExplanation
A classful routing protocol is a type of routing protocol that does not support discontiguous networks. In classful routing, networks are divided into predefined classes based on their size, and the routing protocol assumes that all networks within a class have the same subnet mask. This means that classful routing protocols do not have the ability to route traffic to discontiguous networks, which are networks that are not adjacent or connected. Therefore, the given characteristic of "Does not support discontiguous networks" belongs to a classful routing protocol.Rate this question:
- 7.
Designate the following characteristics as belonging to either a classful routing proto-col or a classless routing protocol.EIGRP, OSPF, and BGP:
Correct Answer
classless routing protocolExplanation
EIGRP, OSPF, and BGP are all examples of classless routing protocols. Classless routing protocols do not use fixed network classes (such as Class A, B, or C) to determine network boundaries. Instead, they use variable length subnet masks (VLSM) to allow for more efficient use of IP address space. Classless routing protocols can support the use of subnetting and supernetting, allowing for more flexibility in network design and address allocation.Rate this question:
- 8.
Designate the following characteristics as belonging to either a classful routing proto-col or a classless routing protocol.Sends subnet mask in its routing updates:
Correct Answer
classless routing protocolExplanation
Classful routing protocols do not send subnet masks in their routing updates. They assume a default subnet mask based on the class of the IP address. Classless routing protocols, on the other hand, send subnet masks in their routing updates, allowing for more flexible and efficient routing. This allows for the use of variable length subnet masks (VLSM) and the ability to subnet a network into smaller subnets.Rate this question:
- 9.
Designate the following characteristics as belonging to either a classful routing proto-col or a classless routing protocol.Supports discontiguous networks:
Correct Answer
classless routing protocolExplanation
Classful routing protocols do not support discontiguous networks, meaning that the network must be contiguous or continuous. Classless routing protocols, on the other hand, do support discontiguous networks. This means that classless routing protocols allow for the division of a network into smaller subnets, even if they are not physically connected. Therefore, the given answer that "classless routing protocol" supports discontiguous networks is correct.Rate this question:
- 10.
Designate the following characteristics as belonging to either a classful routing proto-col or a classless routing protocol.RIP version 1 and IGRP:
Correct Answer
classfull routing protocolExplanation
RIP version 1 and IGRP are both examples of classful routing protocols. Classful routing protocols do not include subnet mask information in their routing updates and assume that all networks within a major network have the same subnet mask. Therefore, they do not support variable length subnet masking (VLSM) or the use of different subnet masks within the same major network. RIP version 1 and IGRP both adhere to this classful routing behavior.Rate this question:
