Routing and Networking Quiz

What is the main difference between RIPv1 and RIPv2?

• RIPv1 supports larger networks, while RIPv2 is limited to smaller networks.

• RIPv1 uses classful routing, while RIPv2 uses classless routing.

• RIPv1 is more secure than RIPv2.

• RIPv1 converges faster than RIPv2.

What are the different types of areas in OSPF?

• Stub, backbone, and border

• Interior, exterior, and stub

• Stub, backbone, and NSSA (Not-So-Stubby Area)

• Interior, border, and external

What is the function of a border gateway protocol (EGP)?

• To route traffic within a single network

• To exchange routing information between different autonomous systems (AS)

• To provide redundancy in case of link failure

• To manage network security policies

What is the purpose of route summarization?

• To increase the size of the routing table

• To reduce the size of the routing table and improve network efficiency

• To encrypt routing information

• To provide authentication for routing updates

What is the difference between static routing and dynamic routing?

• Static routing is faster than dynamic routing.

• Dynamic routing is more secure than static routing.

• Static routes are manually configured, while dynamic routes are learned automatically through routing protocols.

• Static routing is only used in small networks, while dynamic routing is used in large networks.

What is the role of a default route?

• To route traffic to a specific destination

• To route traffic for which no other route is known

• To prevent routing loops

• To increase network security

What is the difference between administrative distance (AD) and metric?

• AD is used by BGP, while metric is used by IGPs.

• AD determines the trustworthiness of a routing source, while metric determines the cost of a path.

• AD is a fixed value, while metric can change dynamically.

• There is no difference between AD and metric.

What are the different types of network convergence?

• Fast convergence and slow convergence

• Hierarchical convergence and flat convergence

• Link convergence and path convergence

• Local convergence and global convergence

What is the purpose of a routing protocol timer?

• To control the speed of routing updates

• To prevent routing loops

• To ensure timely updates and prevent stale route information

• To encrypt routing traffic

Which routing protocol uses a distance vector algorithm?

• a. OSPF

• b. EIGRP

• c. BGP

• d. RIP
