   A router running RIP has two paths to 10.0.0.0/8: one with 2 hops and one with 3 hops. Both paths have the same prefix length. Which path will be used?

   • AThe path with the higher bandwidth
   • BThe path with 2 hops, because RIP uses hop count as its metric
   • CBoth paths are load-balanced
   • DThe path with 3 hops, because it is more redundant

   A router has the following routes: 10.0.0.0/8 (OSPF), 10.1.0.0/16 (static), and 10.1.1.0/24 (RIP). A packet is destined for 10.1.1.10. Which route will be used?

   • AThe static route, because it has a lower AD than RIP
   • BThe OSPF route, because it has a lower AD
   • CAll three routes are used for load balancing
   • DThe RIP route, because it has the longest prefix match

   A router has a static route and a route learned from RIP for the same destination network. By default, which route does the router prefer?

   • AThe router uses both routes and load-balances traffic.
   • BThe static route, because static routes have a lower administrative distance than RIP.
   • CThe RIP route, because RIP has a lower administrative distance than a static route.
   • DThe route with the lower hop count.

   A router has two routes to reach 10.10.10.0/24: a static route with AD 1 and an OSPF route with AD 110. Both have the same prefix length. Which route will the router install in the routing table by default?

   • AThe static route, because it has a lower administrative distance
   • BThe OSPF route, because OSPF has a lower metric
   • CThe route with the higher bandwidth interface
   • DBoth routes are installed and load-balanced

   An OSPF router has two routes to 10.10.0.0/16: one via a GigabitEthernet link with cost 1, and one via a Serial link with cost 64. What will the router do?

   • AUse the GigabitEthernet link because it has a lower cost
   • BUse the route with the lower administrative distance
   • CLoad balance across both links
   • DUse the Serial link because it is more stable
