ACA Aruba Associate Routing Protocols

Question 1

What type of routing protocol is OSPF?

Accepted Answer

Link-state routing protocol

Answer

OSPF is a link-state routing protocol where each router builds a complete map of the network topology using link-state advertisements.

Question 2

What is the administrative distance of a static route on Aruba routers?

Accepted Answer

1

Answer

Static routes have an administrative distance of 1 on Aruba routers, making them preferred over most dynamic routing protocols.

Question 3

In OSPF, what is the role of the Designated Router (DR) on a broadcast network?

Accepted Answer

To reduce LSA flooding by acting as the central point of adjacency for all routers on the segment

Answer

The DR reduces OSPF flooding overhead by forming adjacencies with all routers on the segment and distributing LSAs on their behalf.

Question 4

What metric does RIP use to determine the best path?

Accepted Answer

Hop count

Answer

RIP uses hop count as its sole metric, with a maximum of 15 hops, and routes with 16 hops are considered unreachable.

Question 5

What is the purpose of a default route (0.0.0.0/0) in routing?

Accepted Answer

To forward packets with no more-specific matching route, typically toward the internet gateway

Answer

A default route matches any destination with no more-specific route in the routing table and typically points traffic toward the internet or upstream router.
