Let’s test your knowledge of binary conversion, STP, and other vital Cisco certification exam topics with these practice exam questions!

CCNA And CCENT Certification:

Short answer: Convert the destination address for RIP Version 2 routing update packets into a binary string.

Answer: A "two-in-one" question, since we first have to know that the destination for RIPv2 update packets is the multicast address 224.0.0.9. (RIPv1 broadcasts updates to 255.255.255.255.)

Once you convert that into binary, you've got 11100000 00000000 00000000 00001001.
