A network administrator views the output from the show ip route command. A network that is advertised by both RIP and IGRP appears in the routing table flagged as an IGRP route. Why is the RIP route to this network not used in the routing table?

A network administrator views the output from the show ip route command. A network that is advertised by both RIP and IGRP appears in the routing table flagged as an IGRP route. Why is the RIP route to this network not used in the routing table? Correct Answer IGRP has a lower administrative distance.

Answer: Option 2

RIP has an administrative distance (AD) of 120, while IGRP has an administrative distance of 100, so the router will discard any route with a higher AD than 100.

Consider the following statements about the routing protocols. Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPE) in an IPv4 network. I. RIP uses distance vector routing II. RIP packets are sent using UDP III. OSPF packets are sent using TCP IV. OSPF operation is based on link-state routing Which of the statements above are CORRECT?
If your routing table has a static, a RIP, and an IGRP route to the same network, which route will be used to route packets by default?
Which is true regarding EIGRP successor routes?
1. A successor route is used by EIGRP to forward traffic to a destination.
2. Successor routes are saved in the topology table to be used if the primary route fails.
3. Successor routes are flagged as "active" in the routing table.
4. A successor route may be backed up by a feasible successor route.
5. Successor routes are stored in the neighbor table following the discovery process.
Louis has 3 routes to reach office. Route -1 is 5 km, route-2 is 7 km and route3 is 4 km. based on the traffic condition he takes different routes. Every Monday there is heavy traffic on Route-2 and Route-3 and Tuesdays and Wednesdays there would be multiple diversions on Route-1 and Route-3. Thursday and Friday he prefers to go by Route-3. Assume he works 5 days a week. In 4 consecutive weeks, how many days will he take Route-2 and how many kilometers will he have traveled on Route-2?
Consider a computer network using the distance vector routing algorithm in its network layer. The partial topology of the network is as shown below. The objective is to find the shortest-cost path from the router R to routers P and Q. Assume that R does not initially know the shortest routes to P and Q. Assume that R has three neighbouring routers denoted as X, Y, and Z. During one iteration, R measures its distance to its neighbours X, Y, and Z as 3, 2, and 5, respectively. Router R gets routing vectors from its neighbours that indicate that the distance to router P from routers X, Y, and Z are 7, 6, and 5, respectively. The routing vector also indicates that the distance to router Q from routers X, Y, and Z are 4, 6, and 8, respectively. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct with respect to the new routing table of R, after updation during this iteration ? 
Which statement is true regarding classless routing protocols?
