of RIP in this case? (Choose two.)

15

Refer to the exhibit. What path will packets from the 192.168.1.0/24 network travel to reach the 10.0.0.0/8
network if RIP is the active routing protocol?

They will multicast hello packets to all other routers in the network to establish neighbor adjacencie
**They will send updates that include only directly connected routes to their directly connected neighbor
They will broadcast their full routing table to all routers in the networ

17
What is a routing loop?

**a condition where a packet is constantly transmitted within a series of routers without ever reaching its intended
destinatio
the distribution of routes from one routing protocol into another

18
Which statement is true regarding cisco’s RIP_JITTER variable?
