What is the method that a routing protocol uses to determine the best route to a destination network?
Bub3trom
It depends on the routing protocol in use, for example RIP uses the hop-count to determine the best route where less hops is better, OSPF uses cost, EIGRP uses a composite metric (BW + Delay + Reliability + Load) etc.

What is sink tree in routing?
Sink Tree is a description in a routing table of all the paths in a network to a destination.
What does the passive command provide to dynamic routing protocols?
Perhaps you mean the "passive-interface" command in Cisco routers; what this does is that no information related to the routing protocol will be sent through the specified interface. For example, the interface that connects your network to the ISP should not carry any routing protocol information, since the routing protocol is only useful within your company's network.
Which information is used by the router to determine the path between the source and destination host?
The network portion of the IP address is information that is used by the router to determine the path between the source and destination hosts. The two types of media that are useful for connecting two devices that are separated by a distance of 500 meters is 1000 BASE-TX and 1000 BASE-SX.
What address does the router use to compare to the routing table?
in general the router uses the network address to compare to the routing table. Specifically, on the internet, the Router looks up the destination IP address in the router table to determine where to route the packet.
What is dynamically as related to a routing protocol?
Dynamically, as related to a routing protocol is a type of networking technique whereby the routing protocol creates, updates and maintains the dynamic routing table.
A router that uses the RIP routing protocol has an entry for a network in the routing table It then receives an update with another entry for the same destination network but with a lower hop count?
it will append the update information to the routing table
A router that uses the RIP routing protocol has an entry for a network in the routing table. It then receives an update with another entry for the same destination network but with a lower hop count.?
it will append the update information to the routing table
A router learns two paths with equal metrics to a destination network via the RIP routing protocol How will the router handle packets to the destination network?
The router will install both routes in the routing table and load balance between the two.
What is routing in networks?
This is when network routes are manually entered into a router's configuration, as opposed to using a routing protocol to automatically determine routes.
Exterior routing protocol example?
BGP border gateway protocol is the most commoly use exterior gateway protocol. EGP are used by ISP's and are being routed from a private network to the internet and to its destination private network.
How do you set default root in a router by using dynamic routing?
If the network uses the RIP protocol, router A will determine that all paths have equal cost. If the network uses the RIP protocol, router A will update only the A-C-E path in its routing table. If the network uses the EIGRP routing protocol, router A will determine that path A-D-E has the lowest cost. If both RIP and EIGRP protocols are configured on router A, the router will use the route information that is learned by the RIP routing protocol.
What is static routing in networking?
This is when network routes are manually entered into a router's configuration, as opposed to using a routing protocol to automatically determine routes.
Which routing protocol depends on the DUAL algorithm to calculate the shortest path to a destination?

What are the types of protocols?
routing protocol: helps to find the best path to transfer the packets from one network to diffrent network example: rip: routing information protocol igrp, ospf...... routed protocol: helps to carry the packets to the destination. example: smtp : transfer the mails ftp : transfer the files.
What type of routing protocol advertises only new paths to other routers on the network?
link-state routing protocol
Which of these steps form part of configuring a classful dynamic routing protocol?
Selecting a routing protocol. Assigning IP network numbers. Assigning network addressess to interfaces.
