Question

You type debug IP rip on your router console and see that 172.16.10.0 is being advertised to you with a metric of 16. What does this mean?

(a) The route is 16 hops away Debug IP rip

(b) The route has a delay of 16 microseconds Debug IP route

(c) The route is inaccessible

(d) The route is queued at 16 messages a second

Answer 1

Correct option is (c) The route is inaccessible

Easy explanation: You cannot have 16 hops on a RIP network by default, because the max default hops possible is 15. If you receive a route advertised with a metric of 16, this means it is inaccessible.
