What statement correctly describes a feature of RIP?

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a distance-vector routing protocol that uses hop count as its metric for path selection. RIP routers broadcast their entire routing table every 30 seconds as a broadcast. RIP is classified as a classful routing protocol, meaning it does not support the use of VLSM (Variable Length Subnet Masking) and requires all devices in a network to use the same subnet mask.


Which routing protocol uses hop count as the metric?

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) uses hop count as the metric. It measures the distance to a destination network based on the number of routers (hops) that a packet has to traverse to reach the destination.


What metric does RIP use?

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) uses the hop count metric to determine the best path to a destination network. A hop count is the number of routers that a packet must pass through to reach its destination. RIP prefers routes with the fewest hops.


Why does the route to 172.17.0.0 have a metric of 1 and the route to 172.18.0.0 have a metric of 2?

They are the number of hops needed to get to the desired network. The way the network is set up, 172.17.0.0 is 1 hop away from the device that issued the DEBUG IP RIP command. and 172.18.0.0 is 2 hops.


Can you swim against a rip current or rip tide and make it back to shore?

No, you should NOT try to you swim against a rip current or rip tide. You will NOT usually make it back to shore. Instead, you should swim perpendicular to the rip. It will carry you down shore, but you'll get to shore safely.

What is RIP in a network?

rip is short for routing information protcol it is a routing protocol that shared routing tables from 1 router to another to a maximum of 16 hops of 16 routers


What is rip protocol?

RIP is a protocol used by routers to exchange information about their routing tables. In dynamic routing, a router learns from other routers about possible routes by advertising what they know. RIP is a protocol that can do that.


Default update period in seconds for the RIP routing protocol?

30 Seconds


What is Distance Vector protocols?

Distance vector protocols are routing protocols that use the distance and direction to a destination network to make routing decisions. Examples include RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol). These protocols share routing information with neighboring routers and update their routing tables based on the information received.


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 hop. :)


What sends entire routing table to all routers at a schedule time?

It is typical for older routing protocols of the "distance vector" type, such as RIP, or IGRP, to send out their routing tables regularly to neighbors. By default, RIP does this every 30 seconds, while IGRP does it every 90 seconds.
