CISSP®- Risk Management - Assessment Part 2

The video tutorial covers the basics of static and dynamic routing, emphasizing the importance of convergence in routing protocols. It explains distance vector routing, focusing on the RIP protocol, and contrasts it with link state routing, highlighting OSPF. The tutorial also discusses the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and its significance in internet routing, noting the challenges of convergence due to large routing tables.

What is a key advantage of using dynamic routes over static routes?

• They are easier to understand.

• They never change.

• They are more secure.

• They require less initial configuration.

Which protocol is known for not converging due to the size of its routing tables?

• OSPF

• RIP

• BGP

• EIGRP

What is the primary metric used by distance vector routing protocols?

• Latency

• Hop count

• Bandwidth

• Cost

What is the maximum hop count for a route in RIP before it is considered unreachable?

• 10

• 25

• 15

• 20

Which mechanism does RIP use to prevent routing loops?

• Link state updates

• Split Horizon

• Path vectoring

• Flooding

What is a key feature of link state routing protocols?

• They independently calculate the shortest path.

• They rely on a central routing table.

• They do not support IPv6.

• They use hop count as the only metric.

What is the primary role of BGP in the Internet?

• To manage internal network routing.

• To connect ISPs and manage external routing.

• To provide a backup routing protocol.

• To ensure data encryption.
