CCNA 3 Chapter 5 V6.0 Answers

1. What is maintained within an EIGRP topology table?

the hop count to all networks

all routes received from neighbors

the state of all links on the network

the area ID of all neighbors

EIGRP

RIPv1

OSPF

RIPv2

IS-IS

 

3. What is a disadvantage of deploying OSPF in a large single area routing environment?

OSPF uses multicast updates.

OSPF uses a metric of bandwidth and delay.

OSPF uses excessive LSP flooding.

OSPF uses a topology database of alternate routes.

 

4. In the context of routing protocols, what is a definition for time to convergence?

the amount of time a network administrator needs to configure a routing protocol in a small- to medium-sized network

the capability to transport data, video, and voice over the same media

the amount of time for the routing tables to achieve a consistent state after a topology change

a measure of protocol configuration complexity

 

5. Refer to the exhibit. OSPF is used in the network. Which path will be chosen by OSPF to send data packets from Net A to Net B?

R1, R2, R5, R7

R1, R3, R5, R7

R1, R3, R6, R7

R1, R4, R6, R7

R1, R3, R5, R6, R7

 

6. What is the first step taken by a newly configured OSPF router in the process of reaching a state of convergence?

It builds the topological database.

It exchanges hello messages with a neighboring router.

It learns about directly connected links in an active state.

It floods LSP packets to neighboring routers.

 

7. Which feature provides secure routing updates between RIPv2 neighbors?

10. Which statement is an incorrect description of the OSPF protocol?

OSPF has fast convergence.

When compared with distance vector routing protocols, OSPF utilizes less memory and less CPU processing power.

OSPF builds a topological map of the network.

Multiarea OSPF helps reduce the size of the link-state database.

14. What happens when two link-state routers stop receiving hello packets from neighbors?

They consider the neighbor to be unreachable and the adjacency is broken.

They will flood their database tables to each other.

They create a default route to the adjacent router.

They continue to operate as normal and are able to exchange packets.
