Chapter Review Questions

     

1:	What will happen to the routing table entries should the gated daemon die?
2:	When using the RIP protocol in a network of multiple different subnets, it is good to configure the gated daemon to use RIP version 2. What is the primary reason for using RIP version 2 over version 1?
3:	When a particular route becomes dead, it is removed from the routing table. What is the default time needed for RIP to remove a dead route from the routing table? Is there anything we can do to modify this time?
4:	Will this OSPF configuration work as defined. If not, why not? # cat /etc/gated.conf traceoptions "/var/adm/gated.trc" size 10M files 2 route; interfaces { interface all passive ; }; routerid 192.168.0.34; ospf yes { area 0.0.0.2 { authtype none ; interface lan0 cost 10 { enable; priority 10; hellointerval 10; transitdelay 10; retransmitinterval 10; routerdeadinterval 30; }; }; } #
5:	OSPF is currently gaining favor as the dynamic routing protocol of choice. Even so, OSPF is not used as a routing protocol to interconnect all the networks that make up the Internet. Give at least two reasons why not.
