Q:

A network administrator needs to configure a router with a distance-vector protocol that allows classless routing. Which of the following satisfies those requirements?

A) IGRP B) OSPF
C) RIPv1 D) EIGRP
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) EIGRP

In this question, we're calling EIGRP just plain old distance vector. EIGRP is an advanced distance-vector routing protocol, sometimes called a hybrid routing protocol because it uses the characteristics  of both distance-vector and link-state routing protocols.

Q:

Explain the difference between a classful and a classless routing protocol.

Answer

Classless routing protocols advertise subnet mask information along with the network prefixes. Classful routing protocols do not. Therefore, for a classful protocol, all subnets for the major network number being used must be the same length. Also, classful protocol cannot support discontiguous networks prefixes.
