Which of the following best describes a 'seed metric' in the context of route redistribution?

The metric value assigned to redistributed routes when the original protocol's metric is not directly compatible with the destination protocol.

The metric used by the source protocol to select the best path before redistribution.

A metric that is automatically calculated from the number of hops to the destination.

The administrative distance assigned to redistributed routes.

What is a common risk associated with mutual redistribution between two routing protocols?

The routing protocols automatically shut down to prevent conflicts.

The routing table becomes too large because all routes are duplicated.

Routing loops can occur due to the feedback of routes between the protocols.

The administrative distance of all routes becomes zero.

What is the primary purpose of configuring authentication for routing protocols such as OSPF, EIGRP, or BGP?

To compress routing updates to save bandwidth on slow WAN links

To encrypt the routing updates so that they cannot be read by attackers

To reduce the CPU load on routers by skipping authentication checks for known neighbors

To prevent unauthorized routers from injecting false routing information into the network

In OSPF, which of the following is a valid configuration step to enable authentication on an interface?

ip ospf authentication message-digest

ip ospf authentication-key cisco

router ospf 1 network 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 area 0
