IP Routing - Technical MCQs

Q1:

You type debug ip rip on your router console and see that 172.16.10.0 is being advertised to you with a metric of 16. What does this mean?

A The route is 16 hops away.

B The route has a delay of 16 microseconds.

C The route is inaccessible.

D The route is queued at 16 messages a second.

ANS:C - The route is inaccessible.

You cannot have 16 hops on a RIP network by default. If you receive a route advertised with a metric of 16, this means it is inaccessible.
