What two things will a router do when running a distance vector routing protocol? (Choose two.)

Question:
What two things will a router do when running a distance vector routing protocol? (Choose two.)

• Send periodic updates regardless of topology changes.
• Send entire routing table to all routers in the routing domain.
• Use the shortest-path algorithm to the determine best path.
• Update the routing table based on updates from their neighbors.
• Maintain the topology of the entire network in its database.

Explanation: Distance means how far and Vector means in which direction. Distance Vector routing protocols pass periodic copies of routing table to neighbor routers and accumulate distance vectors. In distance vector routing protocols, routers discover the best path to destination from each neighbor. The routing updates proceed step by step from router to router.
