Q&A
As mentioned in the introduction, you have two choices for review questions. Some of the questions that follow give you a bigger challenge than the exam itself by using a short-answer question format. By reviewing now with more difficult question format, you can exercise your memory better and prove your conceptual and factual knowledge of this chapter. The answers to these questions appear in Appendix A.
For more practice with exam-like question formats, use the exam engine on the CD-ROM.
True or false? RIPv2 broadcasts (255.255.255.255) its routing table every 30 seconds.
True or false? By default, EIGRP uses bandwidth, delay, reliability, and load to calculate the composite metric.
True or false? EIGRP routers maintain neighbor adjacencies.
True or false? EIGRP and RIPv2 support VLSMs and CIDR.
True or false? RIPv2 does not have the 15-hop limit of RIPv1.
RIP uses port .
IGRP uses IP protocol number .
EIGRP uses IP protocol number .
Between RIP, IGRP, and EIGRP, which protocol would you recommend for use in a large network?
Between RIPv2, IGRP, and EIGRP, which protocol would you use in a small network that has both Cisco and non-Cisco routers?
Which protocol broadcasts its routing table every 90 seconds by default?
Match the protocol with the characteristic:
Why is EIGRP sometimes considered a hybrid protocol?
True or False? IGRP is limited to 16 router hops.
Which routing protocol can you use to exchange route updates with UNIX workstations running the routed process?
Match the RIP routing table field with its description:
Match the EIGRP component with its description:
With Cisco routers, which protocols use only equal-cost load balancing?
With Cisco routers, which protocols allow unequal-cost load balancing?
Complete Table 12-6 with the VLSM, authentication, and administrative-distance capabilities of each routing protocol.
By default, if RIPv2 is enabled on all routers, what path is taken?
Path 1
Path 2
Unequal load balance with Path 1 and Path 2
Equal load balance with Path 1 and Path 2
By default, if IGRP is enabled on all routers, what path is taken?
Path 1
Path 2
Unequal load balance with Path 1 and Path 2

EIGRP is configured on the routers. If configured with the variance command, what path is taken?
Path 1
Path 2
Unequal load balance with Path 1 and Path 2
Equal load balance with Path 1 and Path 2
By default, if RIPv1 is enabled on all routers, what path is taken?
Path 1
Path 2
Unequal load balance with Path 1 and Path 2
Equal load balance with Path 1 and Path 2
