Q:
Two connected routers are configured only with RIP routing. What will be the result when a router receives a routing update that contains a higher-cost path to a network already in its routing table?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: B) The update will be ignored and no further action will occur
Explanation: When a routing update is received by a router, the router first checks the administrative distance (AD) and always chooses the route with the lowest AD. However, if two routes are received and they both have the same AD and differing metrics , then the router will choose the one route with the lowest metrics or , in RIP's case, hop count.
