Which three statements are correct about RIP version 2? (Choose three)
A.
It uses broadcast for its routing updates.
B.
It supports authentication.
C.
It is a classless routing protocol.
D.
It has a lower default administrative distance then RIP version 1.
E.
It has the same maximum hop count as RIP version 1.
F.
It does not send the subnet mask any updates.
As we know that RIP V2 is Classless while V1 is Classful.
the maximum hop count for rip v2 is the same as rip v1.

Routing Information Protocol
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is one of the oldest distance-vector routing protocols which employ the hop count as a routing metric. RIP prevents routing loops by implementing a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path from source to destination. The maximum number of hops allowed for RIP is 15, which limits the size of networks that RIP can support. A hop count of 16 is considered an infinite distance and the route is considered unreachable. RIP implements the split horizon, route poisoning and holddown mechanisms to prevent incorrect routing information from being propagated.
In computer networking, a hop is one portion of the path between source and destination. Data packets pass through bridges, routers and gateways on the way. Each time packets are passed to the next device, a hop occurs.

Classful routing protocols DO NOT send the subnet mask along with their updates.
Classless routing protocols DO send the subnet mask along with their updates.
RIP – auth – classless – Max
Friends don’t let friends use RIP.
