Multiple choice

Which of the following statements are correct about RIP?

  1. It uses a broadcast to update all other routers in the network every 60 seconds.

  2. It uses a multicast address to update other routers every 90 seconds.

  3. It will send out an update if there is a failure of a link.

  4. It updates only contained information about routes that have changed since last update.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

RIP sends triggered updates immediately when a link failure occurs, which is option C. Option A is incorrect because RIP updates every 30 seconds (not 60) and uses broadcast, not multicast. Option B incorrectly states 90 seconds and multicast. Option D describes partial updates, which RIP does support, but the question focuses on update timing.
