Expect minimum percentage: 97.4%

1. Which algorithm is run by link-state routing protocols to calculate the shortest path to
destination networks?
ans:
Dijkstra

2. What feature do modern link-state protocols provide to minimize processing and

memory requirements?
ans:
splitting routing topologies into smaller areas

3. What is the final step in the link state routing process?

ans:
SPF computes best path to each destination network

4. Refer to the exhibit. Which statement correctly describes the path traffic would take
from the 10.0.0.0/24 network to the 192.168.1.0/24 network if a link-state routing
protocol was in use?
ans:
BOS -> ORL -> JAX -> ATL because this path is the lowest cost

5. Refer to the exhibit. What kind of information would be seen in an LSP sent from
router JAX to router ATL?
ans:
cost of the link

6. Refer to the exhibit. When Router D is configured to use a link-state routing protocol
and is added to the network, what is the first thing that it does to begin learning the
network topology?
ans:
It learns about its directly connected networks when its interfaces reach the up state.
7. What two statements correctly describe the link state routing process? (Choose two.)
ans:
all routers in the area have link state databases
each router in the area floods LSPs to all neighbors

8. What speeds up convergence in a network using link-state routing?

ans:
updates triggered by network changes

9. Why is it difficult for routing loops to occur in networks that use link-state routing?
ans:
Each router builds a complete and synchronized view of the network.

10. What are two advantages of using a link-state routing protocol instead of a distance
vector routing protocol? (Choose two.)
ans:
Each router independently determines the route to each network.
After the inital LSP flooding, they generally require less bandwidth to communicate
changes in a topology.

11. To achieve network convergence, what three steps does each link state router take?
(Choose three.)
ans:
build a Link State Packet (LSP) containing the state of each directly connected link
flood the LSP to all neighbors, who then store all LSPs received in a database
construct a complete map of the topology and compute the best path to each destination
network

12. What two events will cause a link state router to send LSPs to all neighbors? (Choose
two.)
ans:
whenever the network topology changes
upon initial startup of router or routing protocol

13. Which database or table must be identical on all link-state routers within an area in
order to construct an accurate SPF tree?
ans:
link-state database

14. Which two routing protocols use Dijkstra’s shortest path first algorithm? (Choose two.)
ans:
IS-IS
OSPF

15. When are link-state packets sent to neighbors?

ans:
when a link goes up or down

16. Refer to the exhibit. What does JAX do with link-state packets from ORL?
ans:
sends out the individual link-state packets out the interface connected to BOS

17. A new network administrator is given the task of selecting an appropriate dynamic
routing protocol for a software development company. The company has over 100
routers, uses CIDR and VLSM, requires fast convergence, and uses both Cisco and non-
Cisco equipment. Which routing protocol is appropriate for this company?
ans:
OSPF

18. What action does a link-state router take immediately upon receipt of an LSP from a
neighboring router?
ans:
floods the LSP to neighbors

19. Refer to the exhibit. If all routers and interfaces are configured to use a link-state
routing protocol, from which routers will router D receive hello packets?
ans:
B and C
