Palo Alto Networks Cybersecurity Entry-Level Technician (PCCET) — Question 68

What protocol requires all routers in the same domain to maintain a map of the network?

Answer options

• A. EIGRP
• B. Static
• C. RIP
• D. OSPF

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D. OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) requires all routers in its area to maintain a complete topology of the network, enabling efficient routing. In contrast, EIGRP does not require such a comprehensive map, Static routing does not involve dynamic updates or maps, and RIP relies on distance-vector protocols rather than maintaining a detailed network map.
