3 Comments on “Which two events will occur following link failure between R2 and R3?

    1. Brian says:

      R2 poisons the route with the infinite metric and sends it to all interfaces (including to R1).

      Then R1 does a poison-reverse which ignores split horizon rules and sends the route back to the originating router. This helps ensure all routers on the segment knows about the change..

      If R1 does not receive the poisoned route from R2, it will time out as explained in D.

      TL;DR the answer A and C is correct
