A. Advertise connected networks only
B. Define which interfaces run OSPF and in what area
C. Configure neighbor relationships
D. Summarize routes
Answer: B
Explanation:
The network command in OSPF identifies which interfaces participate in OSPF and assigns them to a specific area.
5. Which routing protocol uses the Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL)?
A. OSPF
B. RIP
C. EIGRP
D. BGP
Answer: C
Explanation:
EIGRP uses DUAL to ensure loop-free and efficient routing decisions.
6. What does the term “feasible successor” refer to in EIGRP?
A. A backup path that is immediately available
B. A looped route
C. A route with the highest metric
D. The primary path
Answer: A
Explanation:
A feasible successor is a backup route that satisfies the feasibility condition and can be used immediately if the successor route fails.
7. What is the administrative distance of OSPF?
A. 90
B. 100
C. 110
D. 120
Answer: C
Explanation:
OSPF has an administrative distance of 110, making it more preferred than RIP but less preferred than EIGRP internal routes.
8. Which BGP attribute is used for loop prevention?
A. Weight
B. AS_PATH
C. Local Preference
D. MED
Answer: B
Explanation:
The AS_PATH attribute lists the ASes a route has traversed. If a router sees its own AS in the path, it discards the route.

A. show ip bgp
B. show ip bgp summary
C. show ip bgp neighbors <IP> received-routes
D. show ip route bgp
Answer: C

To view routes received from a specific BGP neighbor, use the command show ip bgp neighbors <IP> received-routes.
10. Which BGP path attribute influences outbound traffic?
A. AS_PATH
B. Local Preference
C. MED
D. Weight
Answer: D
Explanation:
The Weight attribute is Cisco proprietary and is used to influence outbound traffic locally on a router.
11. In route redistribution, what is required when redistributing between EIGRP and OSPF?
A. Use of BGP
B. Default metric configuration
C. Loopback interface
D. Access list
Answer: B
Explanation:
When redistributing into EIGRP, a default metric must be defined for the redistribution to work correctly.
12. What is the OSPF router ID selection order?
A. Highest IP of loopback, then highest active physical interface
B. Manual config, highest loopback, highest physical
C. Manual config, highest physical, then highest loopback
D. Random
Answer: B
Explanation:
OSPF uses the manually configured router ID first, then the highest loopback IP, and finally the highest active physical interface IP.
13. What metric does EIGRP use by default?
A. Hop count
B. Bandwidth and delay
C. Cost
D. Reliability only
Answer: B
Explanation:
EIGRP uses a composite metric by default based on bandwidth and delay.
14. Which of the following is a loop-prevention mechanism in BGP?
A. Feasibility condition
B. Sequence numbers
C. AS_PATH

A. neighbor <ip> remote-as <as-number>
B. router bgp <as-number>
C. router-id <ip>
D. network <ip mask>

B. 4
C. 6
D. 8
Answer: B
