AOSPF

BRIP

CBGP

DIGRP

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, C

The two routing options that are supported by VM-Series are:

OSPF

BGP

Routing is a process that determines the best path for sending network packets from a source to a destination. Routing options are protocols or methods that enable routing between different networks or devices. VM-Series firewall is a virtualized version of the Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewall that can be deployed on various cloud or virtualization platforms. VM-Series firewall supports various routing options that allow it to participate in dynamic routing environments and exchange routing information with other routers or devices. OSPF and BGP are two routing options that are supported by VM-Series. OSPF is a routing option that uses link-state routing algorithm to determine the shortest path between routers within an autonomous system (AS). BGP is a routing option that uses path vector routing algorithm to determine the best path between routers across different autonomous systems (ASes). RIP and IGRP are not routing options that are supported by VM-Series, but they are related protocols that can be used for other purposes.

Wait, I thought RIP was also supported?

I thought I read somewhere that IGRP is outdated, so it might not be one of the answers.

I have a feeling that OSPF is supported, but I can't recall if RIP or BGP is the second one.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think BGP was definitely one of the options.

I think OSPF and BGP are the ones we covered in class, but I'm not entirely sure about RIP.

Ah, I remember learning about OSPF and RIP in my networking class. Those seem like the two most common routing protocols, so I'll go with those.

I'm not as familiar with the VM-Series capabilities, so I'll need to carefully read through the options and my notes to make the best choice here.

OSPF and BGP, that's my guess. The VM-Series is probably a more enterprise-focused firewall, so those seem like the most likely options.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about the differences between some of these routing protocols. I'll need to think through the key characteristics of each one to determine which two are supported.

This looks like a straightforward routing protocol question. I'll start by reviewing what I know about the routing protocols listed and see which two are supported by the VM-Series.
