Routing Protocol Quiz: OSPF, Bgp & EIGRP Decoded - Quiz

This quiz evaluates your understanding of Routing Protocols (Network+), focusing on three critical dynamic routing protocols: OSPF, BGP, and EIGRP. Test your knowledge of protocol characteristics, convergence times, metric calculations, and real-world deployment scenarios. Ideal for college-level networking students and CompTIA Network+ candidates preparing for certification.

2.

What first name or nickname would you like us to use?

You may optionally provide this to label your report, leaderboard, or certificate.

2. Which routing protocol has the fastest convergence time in most network scenarios?

Submit

3. What is the primary purpose of a BGP route reflector?

Submit

4. True or False: OSPF can support variable-length subnet masks (VLSM).

Submit

5. EIGRP maintains three key tables. Which is NOT one of them?

Submit

6. Which of these is a disadvantage of BGP in large networks?

Submit

7. What is the default hello interval for OSPF routers?

Submit

8. True or False: BGP uses TCP port 179 for establishing neighbor relationships.

Submit

9. OSPF hello packets are sent to which multicast address on IPv4?

Submit

10. Which protocol is most suitable for routing between different service providers on the internet?

Submit

11. Which routing protocol uses cost as its metric and is designed for interior gateway routing?

Submit

12. True or False: EIGRP is a distance-vector routing protocol.

Submit

13. OSPF divides networks into logical areas. What is the backbone area number?

Submit

14. Which routing protocol uses autonomous systems (AS) for organization?

Submit

16. What is the default administrative distance of OSPF?

Submit

17. Which protocol uses Dijkstra's shortest path first algorithm?

Submit

18. EIGRP calculates its metric using which formula?

Submit
