NE11 - Routing

Which protocol uses hop count as its metric and has a maximum of 15 hops?

• OSPF

• EIGRP

• RIP

• BGP

What is the purpose of Split Horizon in RIP?

• To increase bandwidth

• To prevent routing loops

• To enable IPv6 support

• To reduce latency

Which protocol is used to connect autonomous systems across the internet?

• RIP

• OSPF

• BGP

• EIGRP

What does the term “autonomous system” refer to in networking?

• A router with AI capabilities

• A network managed by a single organisation

• A subnet with dynamic IPs

• A protocol used for encryption

Which protocol is proprietary to Cisco and uses a hybrid of distance vector and link state features?

• RIP

• EIGRP

• OSPF

• BGP

What is the main advantage of link state protocols like OSPF?

• They use fewer resources

• They converge faster after a failure

• They support only IPv4

• They use hop count as a metric

Which protocol uses Dijkstra’s algorithm to calculate the shortest path?

• RIP

• EIGRP

• OSPF

• BGP

Why might a business choose to use static routes?

• To allow automatic failover

• To reduce configuration time

• To control traffic paths for cost or reliability

• To support dynamic routing protocols

What does the “longest prefix match” rule mean in routing?

• Choose the route with the shortest subnet mask

• Choose the route with the most specific subnet mask

• Choose the route with the lowest metric

• Choose the route with the highest bandwidth

What does the acronym OSPF stand for?

• Open Secure Path Forwarding

• Optimised Shortest Path Framework

• Open Shortest Path First

• Organised Static Path Format
