Question

I'm after seeing 2 different answers to much the same question - need some clarification please.

I was sure that the max hop count for RIP was 16 hops and that constisuted network unreachable.

In a practice exam somewhere - it reported a hop count of 15.

Just need a little reassurance.

Many thanks.

maximum hop count in rip is 15, if you set it to 16 it is unreachable. 15 is allowed.

Talking

The max-hop-count for RIP is 15. Infinity is defined as 16 hops. When the hop count reaches 16, the system has counted to "Infinity" and reports the destination host as unreachable.
