Now let's get to today's answers!

1. (A). The neighbor command is required only on the hub. It doesn't hurt anything if you put it on the spokes, but keep in mind on exam day where it's required.

2. The OSPF metric is cost.

3. (C). The OSPF interface priority is one. (An Ethernet segment will be an OSPF Broadcast network, and the hello time is not four times the dead time - it's the other way around.)

255.255.255.255 -- RIP version 1

224.0.0.5 -- OSPF

224.0.0.9 -- RIP version 2

224.0.0.10 -- EIGRP

5. The prefix notation value "/20" refers to this binary string with 20 "1"s at the beginning of the string:

11111111 11111111 11110000 00000000

In dotted decimal, that's 255.255.240.0.
