Read the first 7 Static and Dynamic Routing flashcards as text

  1. Which statement correctly describes the difference between a routing protocol and a routed protocol?

    Answer: A routed protocol carries user data while a routing protocol builds and maintains the routing table

    Routed protocols like IP carry user traffic, while routing protocols like OSPF or EIGRP exchange routing information to populate the routing table.

  2. An OSPF router is in the 'Exstart' state. What is occurring at this stage?

    Answer: Routers are electing the master/slave relationship and establishing the initial DBD sequence number

    In the Exstart state, OSPF neighbors determine master/slave roles and agree on the initial Database Description sequence number before exchanging LSAs.

  3. What happens to EIGRP routes when the variance command is set to 2?

    Answer: Routes with a metric up to twice the successor's FD are eligible for unequal-cost load balancing

    Setting variance to 2 allows EIGRP to install feasible successor routes whose FD is up to 2x the successor's FD for unequal-cost load balancing.

  4. Which command would you use to verify the OSPF neighbor state on a Cisco router?

    Answer: show ip ospf neighbor

    The 'show ip ospf neighbor' command displays the neighbor ID, priority, state, dead time, address, and interface for all OSPF adjacencies.

  5. A router running RIPv2 receives an update with a hop count of 16 for a destination network. What does the router do with this route?

    Answer: Considers the route unreachable and does not install it

    In RIP, a hop count of 16 means infinity (unreachable), so the router treats the route as invalid and removes or ignores it.

  6. Which type of OSPF LSA is generated by an ABR to describe routes in other areas?

    Answer: Type 3 - Summary LSA

    ABRs generate Type 3 Summary LSAs to advertise networks from one OSPF area into another, summarizing inter-area routing information.

  7. When configuring route redistribution from OSPF into EIGRP on a Cisco router, what is required that is not needed when redistributing static routes into EIGRP?

    Answer: A seed metric must be specified since OSPF metrics are incompatible with EIGRP's composite metric

    EIGRP requires a seed metric when redistributing from protocols that use incompatible metrics, unlike static routes which inherit a default metric.
