What is the purpose of a default route in a routing table?

To provide a gateway of last resort for packets with unknown destination addresses

To route packets to a specific destination network

To load balance traffic across multiple links

To prioritize traffic based on QoS requirements

A router has two routes to the 192.168.100.0/24 network. One route is learned via RIP with an administrative distance of 120, and the other via OSPF with an administrative distance of 110. Both routes have the same metric. Which route will be installed in the routing table?

The router will use the route with the higher bandwidth.

The RIP route, because RIP is a more established protocol.

The OSPF route, because it has a lower administrative distance.

Both routes, because they have the same metric.

A router has a static route to 10.0.0.0/8 with a next-hop of 192.168.1.1. It also has an OSPF-learned route to 10.0.0.0/8 with a next-hop of 192.168.2.1. The OSPF route has a metric of 10, and the static route has a metric of 0. Which route will the router use?

Both routes, because they have the same prefix length.

The static route, because it has a lower administrative distance.

The route with the higher bandwidth.

The OSPF route, because it has a lower metric.

A network administrator is comparing OSPF and EIGRP for a network that requires fast convergence and supports VLSM. The network has 100 routers. Which protocol is more suitable, and why?

EIGRP, because it has faster convergence than OSPF.

RIPv2, because it is simpler to configure.

OSPF, because it is an open standard and scales well.
