Câu 165: EIGRP is a routing protocol design by Cisco. a) True b) False Answer: a Explanation: EIGRP stands for Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol is a routing protocol designed by Cisco. It is available only on Cisco routers. Câu 166: Administrative distance for internal EIGRP is ______ a) 90 b) 170 c) 110 d) 91 Answer: a Explanation: Routers use the metric of administrative distance to select the best path when there are different routes to the same destination from two different routing protocols as it is a measure of reliability of routing protocols. Administrative distance for internal EIGRP is 90. Check this: Computer Science Books | Computer Network Books Câu 167: For default gateway, which of following commands will you use on a Cisco router? a) IP default network b) IP default gateway c) IP default route d) Default network Answer: a Explanation: IP default network command is used to find the default gateway in Cisco router. If the router finds routes to the node, it considers the routes to that node for installation as the gateway to it. Câu 168: Administrative distance for external EIGRP route is _______ a) 90 b) 170 c) 110 d) 100 Answer: b Explanation: Routers use the metric of administrative distance to select the best path when there are different routes to the same destination from two different routing protocols as it is a measure of reliability of routing protocols. Administrative distance for external EIGRP is 170. Câu 169: EIGRP uses the ____________ algorithm for finding shortest path. a) SPF b) DUAL c) Linkstat d) Djikstra’s Answer: b Explanation: EIGRP uses the DUAL algorithm for finding shortest path. DUAL stands for diffusing update algorithm and it is used to prevent routing loops by recalculating routes globally. Câu 170: In EIGRP best path is known as the successor, where as backup path is known as __________ a) Feasible successor b) Back-up route c) Default route d) There is no backup route in EIGRP Answer: a Explanation: Feasible successor is the backup path. The backup path is used alternatively used whenever the best path fails. It is not used primarily because it is comparatively expensive than the best path. Câu 171: DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) provides __________ to the client. a) IP address b) MAC address c) Url d) None of the mentioned Answer: a Explanation: We use DHCP to allow the hosts to acquire their ip addresses dynamically which is better than visiting each and every host on the network and configure all of this information manually. Câu 172: DHCP is used for ________ a) IPv6 b) IPv4 c) Both IPv6 and IPv4 d) None of the mentioned Answer: c Explanation: DHCP is used for both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing.
