CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 318

A router is set up to utilize RIPv2 to route traffic throughout the network. Which of the following routing metrics is used to determine the path?

Answer options

• A. Distance
• B. Bandwidth
• C. Speed
• D. Hop count

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as RIPv2 uses hop count as its routing metric, counting the number of routers a packet must pass through to reach its destination. Options A, B, and C do not apply to RIPv2, as it does not consider distance, bandwidth, or speed in its routing decisions.
