A network uses RIP version 2 for IP installed on all Windows Server 2003 servers acting as routers. Multiple routes exist from any subnet to any other subnet. An administrator detects slow resource access between subnets. A network analysis reveals a significant amount of UDP broadcast traffic on port 520. Which of the following should the administrator do to reduce this traffic?
  1. Increase the Periodic Announcement Interval setting to 300 seconds on router interfaces.
  2. Disable split horizon for RIP v2.
  3. Increase the Time Before Routes Expire setting to 1500 seconds.
  4. Replace the routers with good-known ones.
Explanation
Answer - A - To reduce traffic, the administrator should Increase the Periodic Announcement Interval setting to 300 seconds on router interfaces.

Key Takeaway: By default, RIP updates the routing tables by broadcasting routing table information every 30 seconds. This affects the network bandwidth significantly. In this case, it is safe to increase this interval to 300 seconds. This would decrease broadcast traffic.
