Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 483

When a router receives an update for its routing table, what is the metric value change to that path?

Answer options

• A. Increased by 2
• B. Decreased by 1
• C. Increased by 1
• D. Decreased by 2

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as receiving an update typically results in the metric value for that path being increased by 1 to reflect the new routing information. Options A and D suggest incorrect increases or decreases in the metric value, while option B implies a decrease that doesn't align with standard routing table updates.
