n this lab, write in the routing protocol that is described. The possi-
bilities are RIP, RIPv2, IGRP, EIGRP, IS-IS, and OSPF. More than one
answer may be possible per characteristic.
Protocol
Characteristic
Maximum of 15 hops by default
Administrative distance of 120
Administrative distance of 100
Administrative distance of 90
Administrative distance of 110
Uses composite metric to determine the best path to a
remote network
Uses only hop count to determine the best path to a
remote network
VLSM
support
Non-proprietary
Floods network with LSAs to prevent loops
Must have hierarchical network design
Uses only bandwidth as a metric
Uses more than one table to assist in rapid
convergence
Route update contains only needed information
Automatic route summarization at major network
boundaries
