  • Question
  • What is route poisoning?


  • Options
  • A. It sends back the protocol received from a router as a poison pill, which stops the regular updates.
  • B. It is information received from a router that can't be sent back to the originating router.
  • C. It prevents regular update messages from reinstating a route that has just come up.
  • D. It describes when a router sets the metric for a downed link to infinity.

  • Correct Answer
  • It describes when a router sets the metric for a downed link to infinity. 

    Explanation
    Another way to avoid problems caused by inconsistent updates and to stop network loops is route poisoning. When a network goes down, the distance-vector routing protocol initiates route poisoning by advertising the network with a metric of 16, or unreachable (sometimes referred to as infinite).
