This is a different format of a technical question. Rather than provide you with a term and ask you to define it and describe its use, the Cisco interviewer asks you about the protocol you would use to perform a specific function on the network. There is no standard format for technical questions the interviewer will ask you. By asking you how you would perform a specific function, they are confirming that you have experience in this area and have done this in one of your past positions.

"When transmitting data between networks, I typically use routing information protocol, or RIP. This is the most efficient way to manage routing data. The protocol broadcasts its routing table to all the other routers on the network. The appropriate router then identifies itself, and the information is transmitted to it. It may take several hops between different routers for the information to reach its ultimate destination."
