A new network administrator is given the task of selecting an appropriate dynamic routing protocol for a software development company. The company has over 100 routers, uses CIDR and VLSM, requires fast convergence, and uses both Cisco and non-Cisco equipment. Which routing protocol is appropriate for this company?

  1. RIP version 2

  2. IGRP

  3. EIGRP

  4. OSPF

  5. BGP

D Correct answer
Explanation

OSPF is an open-standard, link-state routing protocol that supports CIDR, VLSM, scales well to large networks with over 100 routers, offers fast convergence, and runs on multi-vendor equipment. RIPv2 lacks scalability and fast convergence, EIGRP is historically Cisco-proprietary, and BGP is an exterior gateway protocol.
