IP Routing Questions and Answers
IP Routing forms the foundation of computer networking by defining how data packets travel between networks. Commonly included in logical reasoning questions and answers for networking-based exams, it assesses understanding of routing protocols, algorithms, and addressing. Knowledge of static and dynamic routing, as well as protocols like OSPF and RIP, is essential for roles in Cisco, HCL, and Infosys. Practicing networking reasoning questions for competitive exams helps students analyze routing decisions and troubleshoot connectivity issues effectively, preparing them for technical interviews and certification tests.

11. Which of the following is true regarding RIPv2?
- It has a lower administrative distance than RIPv1.
- It converges faster than RIPv1.
- It has the same timers as RIPv1.
- It is harder to configure than RIPv1.
12. A network administrator views the output from the show ip route command. A network that is advertised by both RIP and IGRP appears in the routing table flagged as an IGRP route. Why is the RIP route to this network not used in the routing table?
- IGRP has a faster update timer.
- IGRP has a lower administrative distance.
- RIP has a higher metric value for that route.
- The IGRP route has fewer hops
13. What does RIPv2 use to prevent routing loops? CIDR Split horizon Authentication Classless masking Holddown timers
- 1 and 3
- 2, 3 and 5
- 2 and 5
- 3 and 4
14. Which two of the following are true regarding the distance-vector and link-state routing protocols? Link state sends its complete routing table out all active interfaces on periodic time intervals. Distance vector sends its complete routing table out all active interfaces on periodic time intervals. Link state sends updates containing the state of its own links to all routers in the internetwork. Distance vector sends updates containing the state of its own links to all routers in the internetwork.
- 1 only
- 3 only
- 2 and 3 only
- None of the above
15. IGRP uses which of the following as default parameters for finding the best path to a remote network? Hop count MTU Cumulative interface delay STP Path bandwidth value
- 1 and 3
- 3 and 5
- 2, 3 and 5
- All of the above
16. Network 206.143.5.0 was assigned to the Acme Company to connect to its ISP. The administrator of Acme would like to configure one router with the commands to access the Internet.

- List of active users
- Network routes and next-hop details
- Encryption keys
