CompTIA Network+ Exam Review

Answer - D - RIP (Routing Information Protocol) shares its routing information with neighboring routers by broadcasting the information over UDP every 30 seconds.

Key Takeaway: RIP uses the Update timer to update route update advertisements every 30 seconds. It uses the Hold down timer to indicate the period; a route is withdrawn from the table. This timer goes every 90 seconds and prevents routing loops. The Timeout timer which goes every 180 seconds indicates an interval for which the route should stay ‘live’ in the routing table. The Flush timer that goes every 120 seconds indicates how long to wait to delete a route after it is timed out.
