Drag items

It is known as an IP routing table.It is built directly from the routing table.It is built from information obtained from dynamic routing protocols and connected and static routes.Each routing protocol has its own information base.

Correct arrangement

It is known as an IP routing table.
It is built from information obtained from dynamic routing protocols and connected and static routes.
Each routing protocol has its own information base.
It is built directly from the routing table.

Explanation

The correct arrangement maps each characteristic to the appropriate routing/switching architecture: the RIB (Routing Information Base) is known as the IP routing table and is built from dynamic routing protocols, connected, and static routes, while each individual routing protocol maintains its own separate information base (e.g., OSPF database, EIGRP topology table) before contributing to the RIB. The characteristic 'It is built directly from the routing table' belongs to the FIB (Forwarding Information Base/CEF table), which is derived from the RIB for fast hardware-based forwarding decisions. Understanding the distinction between per-protocol databases, the RIB, and the FIB is essential for grasping how routers make and optimize forwarding decisions.
