1.

What is the main difference between RIPv1 and RIPv2?

a)

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

b)

RIPv1 uses classful routing, while RIPv2 uses classless routing.

c)

RIPv1 is more secure than RIPv2.

d)

RIPv1 converges faster than RIPv2.

2.

What are the different types of areas in OSPF?

a)

Stub, backbone, and border

b)

Interior, exterior, and stub

c)

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

d)

Interior, border, and external

3.

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

a)

To route traffic within a single network

b)

To exchange routing information between different autonomous systems (AS)

c)

To provide redundancy in case of link failure

d)

To manage network security policies

4.

What is the purpose of route summarization?

a)

To increase the size of the routing table

b)

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

c)

To encrypt routing information

d)

To provide authentication for routing updates

5.

What is the difference between static routing and dynamic routing?

a)

Static routing is faster than dynamic routing.

b)

Dynamic routing is more secure than static routing.

c)

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

d)

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

6.

What is the role of a default route?

a)

To route traffic to a specific destination

b)

To route traffic for which no other route is known

c)

To prevent routing loops

d)

To increase network security

7.

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

a)

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

b)

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

c)

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

d)

There is no difference between AD and metric.

8.

What are the different types of network convergence?

a)

Fast convergence and slow convergence

b)

Hierarchical convergence and flat convergence

Link convergence and path convergence

d)

Local convergence and global convergence

9.

What is the purpose of a routing protocol timer?

a)

To control the speed of routing updates

b)

To prevent routing loops
