How does a router running RIPv1 determine the subnet mask of the routes that are received in routing updates?

  • The subnet mask is included in the routing update
  • The router sends a request for the subnet mask to the sending router
  • The router uses the subnet mask of the local interface or the default subnet mask for the address class in the routing update
  • The router calculates the subnet mask based on the variable length subnetting in its own configuration
  • The router defaults to 255.255.255.0 for all updates
