Refer to the exhibit. How does the router manage traffic to 192.168.12.16?

  • A. It chooses the EIGRP route because it has the lowest administrative distance.
  • B. It load-balances traffic between all three routes.
  • C. It chooses the OSPF route because it has the longest prefix inclusive of the destination address.
  • D. It selects the RIP route because it has the longest prefix inclusive of the destination address.

The answer is wrong. The router can't use the network OSPF because it's another network and not include the destination address (192.168.12.0/28 --> from 192.168.12.0 to 192.168.12.15). The correct answer is D because the RIP route use a /27 subnet and include the destination address (192.168.12.0/27 --> from 192.168.12.0 to 192.168.12.31). If i wrong please correct me

yes, D is correct because the C addresses are 192.168.12.0-> subnet address and the last 192.168.12.15-> broadcast address

This completely depends upon if the 192.168.12.16 in the question is a destination network or host address. If it's the destination network then 192.168.12.0/28 is correct since 192.168.12.16 is a network and not a host IP. If 192.168.12.16 is a host IP then the answer is 192.168.12.0/27. In my opinion the question isn't clear but I read it as the destination network.

D is correct. C is wrong since 192.168.12.16 is outside the host address range; therefore, a mask of 255.255.255.224 is able to route traffic properly with RIP /27

D is correct. OSPF with /28 does NOT include .16, stops at .14, .15 broadcast.

And even if they wanted to make this a 'trickier' question, they should have had the last one as 192.168.12.16/28. It would include the address in the range but answer would still be D since .16 would be network address. Basically, a .16 address on a /28 network can never be a host address.

Even if it is not a host address, I am pretty sure the router will still chose the OSPF route in the case you described.

In routing, the prefix length (subnet mask or prefix length in CIDR notation) takes precedence over administrative distance (AD) when determining the best route to a destination network. This concept is known as the "longest prefix match" rule or "most specific route" rule.

Just to add on D is correct since RIP has the length of 32-2=30 which can accommodate the destination. Where as OSPF has a length of 16-2=14

C is the answer.For IPv4, the destination address can be a host, network, subnetwork, supernetwork, or default address. https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.4.0?topic=panel-destination-address

I take back C and choose D as the answer cuz since in /27 only stops at 15 so it is not inclusive in the dest address.

D. It selects the RIP route because it has the longest prefix inclusive of the destination address. I've seen this question somewhere else and the answer they gave for OSPF here wasn't the same, just think they trying to trick people but I hope what I shared can help anyone here new looking for explanation to this question like me. A router evaluates routes in the following order. 1. Prefix Length - The longest-matching route is preferred first. Prefix length trumps all other route attributes. 2. Administrative Distance - In the event there are multiple routes to a destination with the same prefix length, the route learned by the protocol with the lowest administrative distance is preferred. 3. Metric - In the event there are multiple routes learned by the same protocol with same prefix length, the route with the lowest metric is preferred. (If two or more of these routes have equal metrics, load balancing across them may occur.)

D is correct, I choses Rip because OSPF ( /28) Is not inclusive of the IP address. 0-15 = 16 IPs = /28. RIP is because /27 = 32 IPs, 0-31

Selected Answer: D
C is the only other "closest" subnet but the broadcast ends at .15 and the next Subnet ID would be .16 which couldn't be used as the first IP address. So D would be correct with an address range from .1-.30

RIp is correct, 32-28 = 4, 2^4=16 usable IP range is 192.168.12.0 -192.168.12.15 so OSPF doesn't cover the network.

I think the correct answer is A. I believe that when a router is using different routing protocols, the protocol with the lowest administrative distance (EIGRP in this case) is used to route the packet. EIGRP - 90 RIP - 120 OSPF -110

His assumption is incorrect. administrative distance only come into play when the networks are the same. /24, /27, and /28 are different networks. Thus the network with the closest match will be selected; in this case it is /27 because /28 doesn't include .16 as it is the start of a different network.
