Difficulty: EasyRouting Concepts and Dynamic Routing Protocols

A network administrator needs to enable automatic network route updates between routers within a single autonomous system. Which type of routing protocol should the administrator deploy to meet this requirement?

  1. Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP)Answer
  2. B
    Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP)
  3. C
    Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
  4. D
    Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

Answer

Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) is the correct choice because IGPs are designed for routing within a single autonomous system.
Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs) are built specifically to exchange routing information automatically among routers inside a single autonomous system or internal network administration boundary.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the boundary requirement in the scenario.
The network updates must occur within a single autonomous system.
Routing protocols are classified primarily by their operational scope: interior versus exterior.
2
Match the requirement to the protocol scope classification.
Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs) operate within a single domain/autonomous system.
Protocols such as OSPF, EIGRP, and RIP are IGPs built for intra-domain dynamic routing.
