Answers to the Chapter 6 Q&A Section 751
This sample question is another case of tricky wording that may be used to make sure you
know the topic.
17
What show commands list IPX RIP metric values in a Cisco router?
show ipx route
show ipx servers
This is a trick question. The services listed by the show ipx servers command also contain
a reference to the RIP metrics; the information is handy when looking for good servers for
a GNS reply.

Define the term integrated multiprotocol routing in the context of the Cisco IOS and Novell
IPX.
Integrated multiprotocol routing means that multiple routed protocols use a common
routing protocol, which consolidates routing updates. EIGRP is the only such routing
protocol covered in the recommended training path for CCNAs; EIGRP exchanges
routing information for IP, IPX, and AppleTalk. IGRP and Integrated IS-IS support both
IP and OSI CLNS routable protocols.
19
If the commands router rip and network 10.0.0.0, with no other network commands, were
configured in a router that has an Ethernet0 interface with IP address 168.10.1.1, would
RIP send updates out Ethernet0?
No. There must be a network statement for network 168.10.0.0 before RIP will advertise
out that interface. The network command simply selects the connected interfaces on
which to send and receive updates.
20
If the commands router igrp 1 and network 10.0.0.0 were configured in a router that has
an Ethernet0 interface with IP address 168.10.1.1, would IGRP advertise about
168.10.0.0?
No. There must be a network statement for network 168.10.0.0 before IGRP will advertise
about that directly connected subnet.
21
If the commands router igrp 1 and network 10.0.0.0 were configured in a router that has
an Ethernet0 interface with IP address 168.10.1.1, mask 255.255.255.0, would this router
have a route to 168.10.1.0?
Yes. The route will be in the routing table because it is a directly connected subnet, not
because of any action by IGRP.
22
What routing protocols support integrated multiprotocol routing?
EIGRP supports integrated multiprotocol routing for IP, IPX, and AppleTalk. IGRP and
Integrated IS-IS support integrated multiprotocol routing for IP and OSI CLNS.
