EIGRP uses a robust metric based on both _______________and ______________, so routers make good choices about the best route to use.
Answer
Link bandwidth and link delay
Line status and link-state
Backbone area and intra-are route
Tunnel source and tunnel destination
Question 2
Question
What term describes what a router knows about each route? At the end of the process when a router learns about a route to a subnet, all the router knows is some measurement of distance (the metric) and the next-hop router and outgoing interface to use for that route (a vector, or direction).
Answer
Direction vector
EIGRP distance
Link state
Distance vector
Question 3
Question
EIGRP is less likely to cause a loop than OSPF.
Answer
True
False
Question 4
Question
EIGRP sends update messages without UDP or TCP, but it does use a protocol called _____________. _______________ provides a mechanism to resend any EIGRP messages that are not received by a neighbor.
Answer
Frame relay
Rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP)
Reliable transport protocol (RTP)
RIP
Question 5
Question
Route poisoning is the practice of …
Answer
a route failing due to looping
advertise a failed route with a specific metric value called infinity
blocking a router from receiving pieces of information
none of these
Question 6
Question
A router learns of a potential neighbor by receiving a Hello. The Hello must be received within 40 sec to be a potential neighbor. Then the router checks the following settings to determine whether the router should be allowed to become a neighbor:
Answer
It must pass the authentication process if used
It must use the same configured autonomous system number (which is a configuration setting)
The source IP address used by the neighbor’s Hello must be in the same subnet as the local router’s interface IP address/mask
all of these
none of these
Question 7
Question
f a non successor route’s RD is greater than the FD, the route is a feasible successor route.
Answer
True
False
Question 8
Question
__________________ is a DV feature that tells the routing protocol to not advertise some routes in an update sent out an interface: routes that list that interface as the outgoing interface. Those routes that are not advertised on an interface usually include the routes learned in routing updates received on that interface.
