QUESTION NO: 172
You are the administrator of a Windows 2000 network. The network has two Windows 2000 Server
computers named Router1 and Router2. Routing and Remote Access is enabled as a router on Router1
and Router2. There are no other routers on the network.
A part of the IP routing table of Router1 is shown in the following table.

To exchange routing information, you want to enable RIP for IP on Router1 and Router2.
You configure RIP for IP on Router1 and Router2 as follows:
• Set operation mode to Periodic update mode.
• Set outgoing packet protocol to RIP version 1 broadcast.
• Set incoming packet protocol to RIP version 1 and 2.
• Specify Router1 and Router2 as unicast neighbors of each other.
When you monitor the IP routing table of Router2, you notice that the Server is not receiving the correct
routes. What should you do?
A. Configure RIP for IP to include host routes in announcements that are sent.
B. Configure RIP for IP interfaces to add an input packet filter that will allow network traffic for RIP
port 520.
C. Set the RIP for IP outgoing packet protocol to RIP version 2 broadcast.
D. Specify Router 1 and Router 2 as RIP for IP peer routers.

Answer: C
Explanation: If a network is using a mixture of RIP v1 and RIP v2 routers, then we must configure the
Windows 2000 router interfaces to advertise by using either RIP v1 broadcasts or RIP v2 broadcasts and accept
either RIP v1 or RIP v2 announcements.
Router1 and Router2 are configured as unicast neighbors of each other, but only RIP Version 2 supports unicast
to neighbors. By changing to only RIP version 2 broadcast, the routers are forced to use RIP Version 2 and the
routers would be able to communicate. If we are using multiple IP routing protocols, configure only a single
routing protocol per interface.
Incorrect Answers:
A: There is nothing wrong with the RIP announcement. Instead the incoming router interface must be
configured to only support RIP version 2.
B: Generally a filter is used to prevent traffic, and it cannot be used to allow traffic. By default, there is no
protocol packet filter on the RIP for IP interface that prevents traffic on port 520.
D: By default, RIP announcements from all sources are accepted. By configuring a list of RIP peers, RIP
announcements from unauthorized RIP routers are discarded. RIP peers is used for security.
