Multiple choice

Refer to the exhibit. The network that is shown is running RIPv1. The 192.168.10.0/24 network was recently added and will only contain end users. What command or set of commands should be entered on Router1 to prevent RIPv1 updates from being sent to the end user devices on the new network while still allowing this new network to be advertised to other routers?

  1. Router1(config-)# no router rip Router1(config-router)# network 192.168.10.0

  2. Router1(config-router)# no network 192.168.10.0

  3. Router1(config-router)# passive-interface fastethernet 0/0

  4. Router1(config-router)# passive-interface serial 0/0/0

C Correct answer
Explanation

The passive-interface command in RIPv1 prevents routing updates from being sent out the specified interface while still allowing that network to be advertised to other routers. In this scenario, FastEthernet 0/0 connects to the end-user network (192.168.10.0/24), and making it passive prevents unnecessary RIP traffic to end-user devices that don't need routing updates. However, the network is still included in RIP updates sent out other interfaces (like Serial 0/0/0) to other routers. Option B would remove the network entirely, while option D targets the wrong interface.
