You are troubleshooting a Cisco router at the main office of your business in Toronto. You enter the show ip route command. The output is displayed in the exhibit.
Which route will not be entered into the routing table of a neighboring router?

A. R 192.168.8.0/24 [120/1] via 192.168.2.2, 00:00:10, Serial0
B. R 192.168.11.0/24 [120/7] via 192.168.9.1, 00:00:03, Serial1
C. C 192.168.1.0/24 is directly connected, Ethernet0
D. R 192.168.5.0/24 [120/15] via 192.168.2.2, 00:00:10, Serial0

Answer is supposedly C. But I believe it’s D because maximum RIP hop count is 15. If this is advertised to a neighboring router it will boost the hop count to 16 making it unreachable.

what do ya think? I believe the answer in the study guide is wrong.. but then again I could be wrong about it. If the hop count to a route is 15, a router will not advertise it to its neighbors. Or it may advertise it, it just won't show up in their routing tables.

Sorry, been washing clothes. C is the only one connected via Ethernet, so that's probably a hint. It's been too long since I've looked at a router so i'm outta my element.

true, but the hop count thing is also wrong. i think there are 2 right answers here.
