Network Administration Quiz 3

What are the characteristics of distance vector routing protocols?

• Static updates, dynamic neighbors, complete updates, partial routing table in updates

• Periodic updates, neighbors, broadcast updates, entire routing table is included with routing update

• Irregular updates, random neighbors, selective updates, segmented routing table in updates

• Dynamic updates, static neighbors, partial updates, complete routing table in updates

Which routing protocol is an example of a distance vector protocol?

• OSPF

• DRP

• RIP

• BGP

What does a router using distance vector routing protocols know?

• Only the final destination

• The IP address of the destination

• Distance to final destination and vector or direction traffic should be directed

• Only the number of hops

What is the purpose of the TTL field in an IP header?

• To specify the destination port number

• To determine the type of data being transmitted

• To prevent packets from endlessly traveling on a network

• To track the total number of routers the packet has passed through

Which routing protocol is a Cisco proprietary protocol?

• RIP

• EIGRP

• BGP

• OSPF

What is the Split Horizon rule used for in routing protocols?

• To establish neighbor adjacencies

• To advertise unreachable routes

• To calculate the best path

• To prevent routing loops

What is the condition in which packets continuously traverse a network without reaching their destination?

• Bandwidth saturation

• Network congestion

• Routing loop

• Packet loss

Which routing protocol supports load balancing and is easy to configure?

• EIGRP

• OSPF

• RIP

• BGP

What is the purpose of holddown timers in routing protocols?

• To synchronize updates

• To allow routers to not accept changes to a route for a specified period of time

• To prevent packet collisions

• To calculate the best path

Which routing protocol uses periodic updates with 4 different timers to ensure convergence?

• RIP

• OSPF

• EIGRP

• BGP
