ICND1: Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (CCENT, legacy) — Question 23

Which statement about RIPv2 is true?

Answer options

• A. Unless the network command is issued under the routing process, all interfaces are passive by default.
• B. It is a classful routing protocol.
• C. Auto summary is disabled by default.
• D. The RIP routing protocol must be enabled on the router before RIPv2 is configured.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because RIPv2 requires the network command to activate interfaces; otherwise, they are passive by default. Option B is incorrect as RIPv2 is a classless routing protocol. Option C is false because auto summarization is enabled by default in RIPv2. Option D is misleading since RIPv2 can be configured without needing RIP to be enabled first.
