CCNP ROUTE Practice Exam:
Routing Fundamentals
(and some not-so-fundamentals!)
Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933
Sure, complex topics like BGP and multiarea OSPF are important topics on your CCNP ROUTE exam...
... but the fundamentals of routing are a big part of this exam, too!
Here's a CCNP ROUTE practice exam to help you nail this difficult test - and when you're done here, please visit my CCNP ROUTE Tutorial And Video Page for even more help!
Let's get started!
Question 1:
The following statements regarding RIP are all true -- except one. Which one?
A. sends updates at regular intervals
B. uses poison reverse to avoid routing loops
C. different versions running on the same router automatically exchange routes
D. routing update packets contain 25 routes max
Question 2:
What protocol must be running in order for On-Demand Routing to operate correctly?
Question 3:
You're going to configure a floating static route that should be used only if the dynamically learned route for that same destination is lost. The protocols involved in that route discovery are OSPF and external EIGRP.
What is the minimum acceptable administrative distance for that floating static route?
Question 4:
Which of the following are acceptable ways to end an ip route command?
A. name of local exit interface ("ethernet0", etc)
B. name of remote interface
C. IP address of remote interface
D. IP address of local interface
E. the permanent option

And now.. the answers!
1. (C). We don't get to say "never" often in networking, but under no circumstances will RIP perform any kind of automatic route redistribution.
2. The Cisco-proprietary Cisco Discovery Protocol must be running in order for ODR to work correctly.
3. OSPF has an AD of 110 and external EIGRP routes have an AD of 170, so the minimum AD for a static route to "float" in this scenario would be 171.
4. (A, C, E). You can end the ip route command with the name of the local exit interface, the IP address of the next-hop interface, or the permanent option.
