routing protocols : Administrative Distance versus mask length

The video tutorial explains how Router 4 learns about different networks from other routers using various protocols like RIP and OSPF. It highlights the concept of administrative distance and how it affects routing decisions. The key takeaway is that the longest match in the routing table takes precedence over administrative distance, ensuring the best path is chosen for traffic routing.

Which network is Router 4 learning from Router 1?

• 10.0.0.0/8

• 10.1.0.0/16

• 10.1.1.0/27

• 10.1.2.0/24

What is the administrative distance of RIP in this example?

• 200

• 110

• 90

• 120

If Router 4 receives the same route from multiple protocols, which factor is used to decide the best path?

• The protocol with the lowest administrative distance

• The protocol with the longest uptime

• The protocol with the highest bandwidth

• The protocol with the shortest path

Which network does Router 4 choose to send traffic to 10.1.1.1?

• 10.1.0.0/16

• 10.0.0.0/8

• 10.1.1.0/27

• 10.1.2.0/24

Why does the longest match rule take precedence over administrative distance?

• Because it is the default setting

• Because it uses the least resources

• Because it provides the most specific path

• Because it ensures the fastest route
