routing protocols : Auto summarization

The video tutorial explains classful network routing, focusing on Class A and B subnets. It discusses how classful routing protocols automatically summarize routes when crossing class boundaries, using examples of routers advertising networks. The tutorial also covers load balancing, demonstrating how routers handle equal cost paths and the impact on network traffic, such as ping success rates.

What is the primary function of classful routing protocols when crossing classful boundaries?

• To decrease network security

• To automatically summarize networks

• To increase network speed

• To enhance data encryption

When Router 1 advertises network 10.1.1.0/24, how is it summarized?

• As 10.1.1.0/24

• As 10.0.0.0/24

• As 10.0.0.0/8

• As 10.1.0.0/16

What does Router 2 believe about the network 10.0.0.0?

• It exists only on the right side of the topology

• It exists on both sides of the topology

• It does not exist in the topology

• It exists only on the left side of the topology

How does Router 2 handle packets to the IP address 10.1.1.1?

• Alternates packets between Router 1 and Router 3

• Sends all packets to Router 3

• Drops all packets

• Sends all packets to Router 1

What is the result of Router 2's load balancing strategy?

• Half of the pings succeed and half fail

• No pings are sent

• All pings fail

• All pings succeed
