Which dynamic routing protocol was developed as an exterior gateway protocol to interconnect different Internet providers?
BGP
EIGRP
OSPF
RIP
A network engineer is researching dynamic routing protocols and how much time it takes for a network to converge. What does it mean for a router to achieve convergence?
The amount of time a network administrator needs to configure a routing protocol in a small- to medium-sized network
The amount of time it takes a router to share information, calculate best paths, and update the routing table
The capability to transport data, video, and voice over the same media
The capability to forward traffic between hosts on a local network
What is the difference between interior and exterior routing protocols?
Interior routing protocols are used to route on the Internet. Exterior routing protocols are used inside organizations
Interior routing protocols are used to communicate within a single autonomous system. Exterior routing protocols are used to communicate between multiple autonomous systems
Exterior routing protocols are used to administer a single autonomous system. Interior routing protocols are used to administer several domains
Exterior routing protocols are used only by large ISPs. Interior routing protocols are used by small ISPs
What are two purposes of dynamic routing protocols?
Interior routing protocols are used to route on the Internet. Exterior routing protocols are used inside organizations
Provide a default route to network hosts
Provide network security
Reduce network traffic
Select best path to destination networks
Discover remote networks
Which routing protocol is designed to use areas to scale large hierarchical networks?
BGP
EIGRP
OSPF
RIP
Which two routing protocols are classified as distance vector routing protocols?
BGP
IS-IS
EIGRP
OSPF
RIP
A network administrator has configured RIPv2 in the given topology. Which path would a packet take to get from the LAN that is connected to R1 to the LAN that is connected to R7?
R1--R4--R5--R6--R7
R1--R4--R5--R6--R7
R1--R3--R4--R5--R6--R7
R1--R2--R6--R7
An OSPF enabled router is processing learned routes to select best paths to reach a destination network. What is the OSPF algorithm evaluating as the metric?
The cumulative bandwidth that is used along the routing path
The amount of traffic and probability of failure of links
The amount of packet delivery time and slowest bandwidth
The number of hops along the routing path
OSPF is used in the network. Which path will be chosen by OSPF to send data packets from Net A to Net B?
R1, R3, R5, R7
R1, R3, R5, R6, R7
R1, R4, R6, R7
R1, R2, R5, R7
R1, R3, R6, R7
What are two features of the OSPF routing protocol?
Used primarily as an EGP
Uses Dijkstra's algorithm to build the SPF tree
Automatically summarizes networks at the classful boundaries
Has an administrative distance of 100
Calculates its metric using bandwidth
Which routing protocol uses link-state information to build a map of the topology for computing the best path to each destination network?
RIP
EIGRP
OSPF
RIPng
Which two requirements are necessary before a router configured with a link-state routing protocol can build and send its link-state packets?
The router has determined the costs associated with its active links
The routing table has been refreshed
The router has established its adjacencies
The router has built its link-state database
The router has constructed an SPF tree
What is used to create the OSPF neighbor table?
Adjacency database
Routing table
Forwarding database
Link-state database
Which OSPF data structure is identical on all OSPF routers that share the same area?
Routing table
Adjacency database
Link-state database
Forwarding database
What will an OSPF router prefer to use first as a router ID?
The highest active interface IP that is configured on the router
Any IP address that is configured using the router-id command
The highest active interface that participates in the routing process because of a specifically configured network statement
A loopback interface that is configured with the highest IP address on the router
