Every 30 seconds

Every 60 seconds

RIPv1 does not broadcast periodically

Correct Answer : Option (B) : Every 30 seconds

Explanation : RIPv1 router broadcasts its routing table every 30 seconds by default. The broadcasted routing table can be used by other routers to find the shortest path among the network devices.

Q .

EIGRP uses the ____________ algorithm for finding shortest path.

DUAL

SPF

Linkstat

Djikstra’s

Correct Answer : Option (A) : DUAL

Explanation : EIGRP uses the DUAL algorithm for finding shortest path. DUAL stands for diffusing update algorithm and it is used to prevent routing loops by recalculating routes globally.

Q .

Administrative distance for external EIGRP route is _______

100

170

135

190

Correct Answer : Option (B) : 170

Explanation : Routers use the metric of administrative distance to select the best path when there are different routes to the same destination from two different routing protocols as it is a measure of reliability of routing protocols. Administrative distance for external EIGRP is 170.
