Hotspot question- RIPv2 Troubleshooting I
What is the correct statement below after examining the R1 routing table?
A . Traffic that is destined to 10.10.10.0/24 from R1 LAN network uses static route instead RIPv2
Because the static route AD that is configured is less than the AD of RIPv2
B . Traffic that is destined to 10.10.10.0/24 from R1 LAN network uses RIPv2 instead static route
Because the static route AD that is configured is higher than the AD of RIPv2
C . Traffic that is destined to 10.10.10.0/24 from R1 LAN network uses static route instead RIPv2
But the traffic is forwarded to the ISP instead of the internal network.
D . Traffic that is destined to 10.10.10.0/24 from R1 LAN network uses RIPv2 instead static route Because the static route AD that is configured is 255
Answer: B
Explanation:
Surely we have to use the “show ip route” command to check the R1 routing table.
As we see here, 10.10.10/24 is learned from RIP. Notice that although there is a static route on R1 to this destination (you can check with the “show running-config” on R1 to see the line “ip route 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.14.2 200”), this static route is not installed to the routing table because it is not the best path because the Administrative Distance (AD) of this static route is 200 while the AD of RIP is 120 -> R1 chose the path with lowest AD so it chose path advertised via RIP.
