Individual routers

Network interfaces

Groups of networks under single administrative control

Subnets within a network

5. What is the primary disadvantage of static routing in large networks?

High CPU usage on routers

Requires manual updates when topology changes

Cannot support multiple paths

Incompatible with modern networks

Submit

7. In static routing, a default route is typically used for which purpose?

EIGRP

IS-IS

Submit

9. OSPF operates at which OSI layer?

Layer 4 (Transport)

Layer 7 (Application)

10. What does convergence time refer to in routing protocols?

Time to boot a router

Time for all routers to agree on network topology

Bandwidth consumed by routing updates

Number of routing table entries

11. In static routing, what must a network administrator manually configure on each router to direct traffic to a destination network?

Route table entries

Routing protocols

VLAN assignments

Network interface cards

12. Which routing protocol uses Dijkstra's shortest path first (SPF) algorithm?

RIP

BGP

OSPF

EIGRP

13. In RIPv2, what is the maximum hop count before a route is considered unreachable?

10

15

16

255

14. What is the default administrative distance (AD) for static routes?

0

1

90

120

15. A static route with a metric of 1 and a dynamic route with a metric of 5 are available to the same destination. Which route will the router prefer?

Static route (lower metric)

Dynamic route (more flexible)

Both routes simultaneously

The route learned first

16. Which of the following is a characteristic of dynamic routing protocols? (Select all that apply)

Automatically discover network topology

Require manual configuration of every route

Adapt to network changes automatically

Cannot scale to large networks

Submit

17. In OSPF, what does the term 'cost' represent?

Number of hops to destination

Bandwidth-based metric derived from link speed

Delay in milliseconds

Router processing power

18. BGP is classified as which type of routing protocol?

Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP)

Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP)

Link-state protocol

Distance-vector protocol

19. What is the primary advantage of OSPF over RIP in terms of network convergence?

Lower bandwidth usage

Faster convergence time and scalability

Simpler configuration

No need for metric calculations

20. Which dynamic routing protocol uses hop count as its primary metric and has a maximum hop count limit of 15?

OSPF

RIP

BGP

IS-IS
