functions of the network command

rakem

I have come accross this question in my studies:

What are the functions of the network command:

a)It starts the routing protocol on interfaces
b)It allows the router to poll a network
c)it allows the router to advertise a network
d)it configures subnets for a routers interfaces

My answer was C. Correct answer A and C.

A is not correct because it is the router command that starts the routing protocol, not the network command...

am i right?

Correct answer A and C, router "protocol" starts the routing process, at this point no interfaces are running under the protocol i.e. when you enter the network command you specify which interface to join the process.
