200-301 · Question #231

Refer to the exhibit. How does the router manage traffic to 192.168.12.16?

The correct answer is D. It selects the RIP route because it has the longest prefix inclusive of the destination address. https://subnet.ninja/calculator-results/ 192.168.12.16 is outside OSPF 192.168.12.0/28 and would not be a usable IP address in 192.168.12.16/28 network. Would work for RIP as it is a 30 IP address range.
