| Exam 200-301 | Question id=5402 | IP Connectivity |
Which of the following characteristics are NOT shared by RIPv1 and RIPv2?
| A. |
They share an administrative distance value | |
| B. |
They use the same metric | |
| C. |
They both send the subnet mask in routing updates | |
| D. |
They have the same maximum hop count |
RIPv1 and RIPv2 do NOT both send the subnet mask in routing updates. RIPv1 is classful, while RIPv2 is classless. This means the RIPv1 does not send subnet mask information in routing updates, while RIPv2 does.
Both versions have the same administrative distance of 120.
Both versions have the same metric, which is hop count.
Both versions have the same maximum hop count, which is 15.
