Quiz 7B: Compare and Contrast Dynamic Routing Concepts

What type of protocols use an algorithm and metrics to build and maintain a routing information database?

• Dynamic routing protocols

• Static routing protocols

• Hybrid routing protocols

• Distance vector routing protocols

What determines the preferred path in a routing information database when multiple routes to the same destination exist?

• The router with the fastest processing speed

• The router with the most available memory

• The route with the lowest cost metric

• The route with the highest administrative distance

Which factor is NOT used to calculate the metric in dynamic routing protocols?

• Number of hops

• Bandwidth

• Delay

• Time to Live (TTL)

What is convergence in the context of routing protocols?

• The process of routers agreeing on the network topology

• The process of assigning IP addresses to network devices

• The process of configuring routing tables manually

• The process of encrypting routing information for security

Which type of protocol advertises routes between autonomous systems?

• Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP)

• Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP)

• Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)

Which protocol is designed for routing within a single domain or autonomous system and supports classless addressing?

• Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)

• Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)

• Routing Information Protocol (RIP)

• Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)

What is the primary difference between RIP and EIGRP?

• RIP is a link state protocol, while EIGRP is a distance vector protocol.

• RIP sends periodic updates, while EIGRP sends updates only when there is a topology change.

• RIP uses a metric based on hop count, while EIGRP uses a metric based on bandwidth and delay.

• RIP supports classless addressing, while EIGRP supports classful addressing.

Which protocol is hierarchical and divides networks into areas, allowing routers to share topological information within each area?

• Routing Information Protocol (RIP)

• Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)

• Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)

• Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)

What is the purpose of using Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR)?

• To assign IP addresses to network devices dynamically

• To encrypt routing information for secure transmission

• To summarize IP routing information and conserve address space

• To establish virtual private networks (VPNs) across the internet

Which technique allows a network designer to allocate ranges of IP addresses to subnets that match the predicted need for numbers of subnets and hosts per subnet more closely?

• Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR)

• Variable Length Subnet Masking (VLSM)

• Border Gateway Protocol

• Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)
