Answers:


1. A, C. Link-state does not send entire routing table updates like distance-vector does. Link-state uses Hello messages to make sure that neighbor routers are still alive, and then when a change in the network does occur, it sends only the necessary information about the change.
2. B, C. IGRP and RIP are distance-vector protocols and do not use a topology table.
3. C. RIPv2 is still distance-vector and acts accordingly. However, it sends prefix routing information in the route updates so that it can support VLSM.
4. A. Directly connected routes have an administrative distance of zero.
5. A, B, C, D. Although EIGRP is really a hybrid routing protocol, it is considered an advanced distance-vector protocol.
6. E. OSPF has an administrative distance of 110.
7. C. Classless routing protocols send prefix routing information with each update.
8. C. EIGRP routes have a default administrative distance of 90.
9. D. Classful routing protocols send no subnet mask information with the routing updates, so all devices on the network must use the same subnet mask.
10. B. Static routes have a default administrative distance of 1.
11. B, D, E, F. RIPv2, EIGRP, IS-IS, and OSPF all send prefix routing information with the route updates.
12. D. IGRP routes have a default administrative distance of 100.
13. A, B. Both RIP and RIPv2 consider only hop count as a metric.
14. E. RIP routes have a default administrative distance of 120.
15. C, D. IGRP and EIGRP use a composite metric of bandwidth and delay of the line.
16. E, F. IS-IS and OSPF use only bandwidth as a metric.
17. E, F. Both IS-IS and OSPF must be run on a hierarchical network design to properly work.
18. A, B, E, F. IGRP and EIGRP are Cisco proprietary routing protocols.
19. C, D. IGRP and EIGRP are Cisco proprietary routing protocols.
20. A, B, C, D. RIP, RIPv2, IGRP, and EIGRP auto-summarize at classful boundaries. EIGRP, OSPF, and IS-IS can be manually configured to summarize at non-classful boundaries.
