Multiple choice

What consideration must be taken into account if RIP is used on Frame Relay multiaccess networks?

  1. To forward routing updates, address-to-DLCI mapping must be done via the use of the frame-relay.

  2. map command coupled with the broadcast keyword.

  3. Inverse ARP must be enabled to turn routing update broadcasts into unicast traffic that can be propagated to other Frame Relay nodes.

  4. Because broadcast traffic is not supported, RIPv1 cannot be implemented on Frame Relay networks.

  5. To forward broadcast routing updates, dynamic mapping must be enabled.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Frame Relay is a non-broadcast multiaccess (NBMA) network technology that does not natively support broadcast or multicast traffic. For RIP, which uses broadcast updates, to work over Frame Relay, you must manually configure address-to-DLCI mappings using the 'frame-relay map' command with the 'broadcast' keyword. This converts broadcast routing updates into unicast traffic that can be forwarded to specific Frame Relay destinations via their DLCI identifiers.
