Question

Imagine that a router has an interface E0 with an IP address and E1 with an IP address 101.1.1. If the commands 'router rip' and 'network', with no other network commands, are configured in the router, does RIP send updates out Ethernet 0?

Answer 1

RIP will not send updates out Ethernet 0 because it is not included in the 'network' command configuration.

Step-by-step explanation:

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a distance-vector routing protocol used to exchange routing information between routers in a network. When the 'router rip' command is configured on a router, it enables RIP on that router. The 'network' command is used to specify which networks are participating in the RIP routing process.

In this scenario, if the 'network' command is only configured for the IP address assigned to interface E1 (101.1.1.0/24), RIP will send updates out Ethernet 1. RIP advertises routes only for the networks that are explicitly configured using the 'network' command.

Therefore, in this case, RIP will not send updates out Ethernet 0 since the IP address assigned to interface E0 is not included in the 'network' command configuration.
