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

Explanation:

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:

A network administrator views the output from the show ip route command. A network that is advertised by both RIP and EIGRP appears in the routing table flagged as an EIGRP route. why is the RIP route to this network not used in the routing table?

A) EIGRP has a faster update timer B) EIGRP has a lower administrative distance
C) RIP has a higher metric for that route D) The RIP path has a routing loop
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) EIGRP has a lower administrative distance

Explanation:

RIP has an administrative distance (AD) of 120, while EIGRP has an administrative distance of 90, so the router will discard any route with a higher AD than 90 to that same network.

Q:

You copy a configuration from a network host to a router's RAM. The configuration looks correct, yet it is not working at all. What could the problem be?

A) You copied the wrong configuraion into RAM B) You copied the configuration into flash memory instead
C) The copy did not override the shutdown command in running-config D) The IOS became corrupted after the copy command was initiated
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) The copy did not override the shutdown command in running-config

Explanation:

Since the configuration looks correct, you probably didn't screw up the copy job. However , when you perform a copy from a network host to a router , the interfaces are automatically shut dow and need to be manually enabled with the no shutdown command.
