Multiple choice

Refer to the exhibit. RIPv1 is configured as the routing protocol for the network that is shown. The following commands are used on each router: router rip network 10.0.0.0
network 172.16.0.0 When this configuration is complete, why users on the LAN of each router are unable to access the remote LANs?

  1. The network statements are configured incorrectly.

  2. A routing loop has been created.

  3. RIPv1 is unable to route to discontiguous subnets of a major network.

  4. RIPv1 is unable to route networks with a /24 subnet mask.

C Correct answer
Explanation

RIPv1 is a classful routing protocol that does not support subnet masks in its updates. When it encounters discontiguous subnets of the same major network (like 10.0.0.0/8 separated by other networks), it cannot properly route between them because it summarizes all subnets of a major network at network boundaries.
