NRS1 Module 5

Question 1

What is the main difference between a static route and a dynamic route?

Answer 1

A static route is manually configured, while a dynamic route is learned through a dynamic routing protocol.

Question 2

What are the characteristics of a distance vector protocol?

Answer 2

• Frequent periodic updates (slow convergence).* Passes copies of routing table to neighboring routers.* Views the network topology from the neighbor’s perspective.* The path with the lowest hop count (shortest distance) is the best path

Question 3

3. What are the characteristics of a link-state protocol?

Answer 3

• Event-triggered updates (faster convergence).* Passes link-state routing updates to other routers.* All routers get a common view of the entire network topology.* Uses the SPF algorithm. The path with the lowest cost is the best pat

Question 4

If the same route, with same prefix length, is learned from two different protocols, say static and OSPF, which route willbe installed in the routing table by default?

Answer 4

Static because it has a lower preference value than OSPF.

Question 5

Two OSPF routers do not have a matching MTU configured. Which adjacency state will these routers likely be in?

Answer 5

Exstart

Question 6

Can the BGP protocol be used within the same autonomous system (AS)?

Answer 6

Yes. The routers would establish iBGP sessions.
