CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 169

A technician needs to configure a routing protocol for an internet-facing edge router. Which of the following routing protocols will the technician MOST likely use?

Answer options

• A. BGP
• B. RIPv2
• C. OSPF
• D. EIGRP

Correct answer: A

Explanation

BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is the standard routing protocol used for internet-facing routers because it is designed to handle the complexities of routing between autonomous systems. RIPv2, OSPF, and EIGRP are better suited for internal routing within an organization rather than for external internet connectivity.
