A network engineer is tasked with configuring a new router in a large multinational corporation's headquarters. This router needs to exchange routing information with routers from other autonomous systems. Which routing protocol should the engineer use?
BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is the standard protocol used to exchange routing information between different autonomous systems on the internet, making it the appropriate choice for a router that needs to communicate across different ASs. OSPF and EIGRP are typically used for routing within a single AS (intra-domain routing), hence they would not be suitable for this scenario where inter-domain routing is required. RIPv2, although capable of dynamic routing, is generally considered outdated and insufficient for the scale and complexity of multinational corporation networks due to limitations like a low hop count and slower convergence.
