Distance Vector Routing Protocols

| Question | Answer |

1 | What does RIP stand for? | |

2 | What metric does RIP use for Path Selection? | |

3 | If the metric used by RIP exceeds this value for a route it is considered unreachable, effectively making this value appear to be infinity to RIP? | |

4 | How often does RIP send updates by default (update timer)? | |

5 | What are the main differences between RIPv1 and RIPv2? | |

6 | What is convergence and why is it important? | |

7 | Is RIP considered to be a fast or slow converging protocol? | |

For the simple 3 router network (Figure 1), fill in the information that would be in each router’s routing table once the network has converged (see example in Chapter 4, pages 192-193).

Subnetting and Assigning Addresses

Figure 2. Addressing Design Scenario

You are the network administration for the small network in Figure 2. It consists of your headquarters location with a LAN with 60 hosts, remote office R1 with 10 hosts, and remote office R2 with 30 hosts. You have been assigned the address space 192.168.3.0/25. From this space you will need to create the subnets for each of the sites on your network and the two WAN links. Once you find the subnets assign addresses to the Routers interfaces and PCs using the following guidelines: Assign the first address from LAN...
