10.9. Answers to Review Questions

  1. C, D, F. RIPv1 and IGRP are true distance-vector routing protocols and can't do much, really—except build and maintain routing tables and use a lot of bandwidth! RIPv2, EIGRP, and OSPF build and maintain routing tables, but they also provide classless routing, which allows for VLSM, summarization, and discontiguous networking.

  2. B, C. RIP and RIPv2 are distance-vector routing protocols. OSPF and IS-IS are link state.

  3. A, D. RIP and RIPv2 are distance-vector routing protocols. OSPF and IS-IS are link state.

  4. E. RIP and RIPv2 are distance-vector routing protocols. OSPF and IS-IS are link state. EIGRP uses qualities from both distance vector and link state to create a hybrid routing protocol.

  5. C. Dynamic routing is typically ...
