To prevent routing loops, one method routers will use is called
________________, which will prevent a learned route from being advertised
back out of that same interface. - ANS ✓Split Horizon
To prevent routing loops, one method routers will use is called
________________, which will advertise a routing loop with an infinite metric in
order to warn others from utilizing that route. - ANS ✓Poison Reverse
________________ is a routing protocol that uses Dijkstra's Algorithm and parts
of routing tables to create a large network map. The only time this protocol
exchanges a full routing table is upon the initial connection to a network. -
ANS ✓Link-State
Basic communication means of the OSPF routing protocol for the Internet
Protocol. It communicates the router's local routing topology to all other
local routers in the same OSPF area. - ANS ✓LSA, Link-State Advertisements
A distance vector routing protocol that uses a metric of hop count - ANS
✓RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
_______________ is a link state routing protocol that uses a metric of COST, (link
speed between routers). This is popular due to its scalability and FAST
CONVERGENCE! - ANS ✓OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)
