Advanced Networking Administrator Test Prep

Answer: B - The administrative distance for a RIP protocol is 120.

Key Takeaway: RIP, or the Routing Information Protocol, is a distance vector routing protocol that uses hop count as its metric. Cisco routers select the best path when there are two or more different routes to the same destination from two different routing protocols using the administrative distance parameter. Administrative distance defines the reliability of a routing protocol. Routing protocol with a lower administrative distance is given a higher priority.
