Network+ Static vs Dynamic Routing Concepts Quiz

1. In a routing table, what does the destination network address represent?

The IP address of the router

The network or host that traffic is destined for

The source of incoming packets

The gateway router's primary address

2. OSPF operates at which OSI layer?

Layer 2 (Data Link)

Layer 3 (Network)

Layer 4 (Transport)

Layer 7 (Application)

3. What is the primary function of a routing protocol?

To encrypt data packets

To discover routes and exchange routing information between routers

To authenticate user access

To compress network traffic

4. Which of the following best describes a floating static route?

A static route with a higher AD than a dynamic route to serve as backup

A route that moves between interfaces

A route used only during peak traffic hours

A temporary route deleted after one use

5. In dynamic routing, what triggers a routing update?

Manual administrator configuration

Network topology changes or periodic timer intervals

Daily scheduled maintenance windows

Packet arrival at the router

6. What is the maximum hop count limit in RIPv2?

16 hops

15 hops

255 hops

Unlimited

7. Which dynamic routing protocol has the slowest convergence time?

OSPF

RIP

EIGRP

IS-IS

8. What is the purpose of the next-hop address in a routing table entry?

To identify the destination host

To specify the IP address of the router interface where packets are forwarded

To indicate the source of the route

To measure the quality of the connection

9. Which statement about EIGRP is accurate?

It is a pure distance-vector protocol

It is a Cisco proprietary hybrid protocol with fast convergence

It uses only hop count as a metric

It is the most widely used inter-AS routing protocol

10. What is a default route in static routing?

A route to the router's own interfaces

A catch-all route (0.0.0.0/0) for unknown destinations

The fastest path to any destination

A route that must be updated manually every hour

11. What is the primary advantage of dynamic routing over static routing?

Automatic path discovery and adaptation to network changes

Lower CPU usage on routers

Reduced bandwidth consumption

Simpler configuration and deployment

12. OSPF calculates routing decisions based on which metric?

Hop count

Cost (based on link bandwidth)

Delay and reliability

Random selection

13. What is the default administrative distance for static routes?

0

1

90

120

14. Which routing protocol is classified as a distance-vector protocol?

OSPF

IS-IS

RIP

EIGRP (pure distance-vector)

15. BGP is typically used for which type of routing?

Intra-AS routing within a single autonomous system

Inter-AS routing between autonomous systems

Local network segment routing

Wireless mesh network routing

16. What is convergence time in dynamic routing?

Time for routers to discover network topology and reach agreement on routes

Time required to physically connect routers

Maximum number of hops allowed in a network

Bandwidth used by routing protocol updates

17. Static routing is best suited for which network scenario?

Large enterprise networks with multiple paths

Small networks with few routes or as a backup

Networks requiring automatic failover

Internet-scale routing between ISPs

18. Which of the following is a link-state routing protocol?

RIP

EIGRP

OSPF

BGP

19. What does the administrative distance (AD) value represent in routing?

The physical distance between routers

The trustworthiness or reliability of a routing source

The number of hops in a path

The bandwidth available on a link

20. Which routing protocol uses hop count as its primary metric?

OSPF

BGP

RIP

IS-IS
