Live Virtual Machine Lab 9.1: Module 09 Routing Concepts and Protocols

Your device has a route to the 0.0.0.0/0 network in a routing table. What route is it, and when will it be used?

0.0.0.0/0 is a default route. The router uses it to route packets if it doesn't have a more specific route to the destination

What is the difference between distance vector and link state routing protocol?

Distance vector routing protocol exchanges the whole routing table, while link state routing protocol exchanges information about all connected networks

When is dynamic routing protocol preferred over static routes?

Dynamic routing protocols are better in large environments where there are many networks and devices

Which of the following routes will have an Administrative distance of 90 in a routing table?

EIGRP routes

What does an L3 device use to make decisions on where to forward a packet?

Routing table
