2-2 - Troubleshoot Core IGP Flashcards

1
Q

Why do most service providers tend to use OSPF or IS-IS as their IGP?

A
  • EIGRP is Cisco proprietary and may hinder interoperability with other vendors.
  • MPLS TE requires the help of a link-state protocol, and EIGRP is a hybrid distance vector protocol.

Q

Describe the overall operation of OSPF.

A
  • upon initialization, or due to a change in routing info, the router generates a link-state advertisement (LSA). This is a collection of all link states on the router.
  • all routers exchange link states by flooding. Each router that receives a link-state update stores a copy in its link-state database (LSDB) and then propagates the update to other routers.
  • After the database of each router is complete, the router calculates the shortest path tree to all destinations, using the Dijkstra algorithm. The destinations, associated cost, and next-hop to reach those destinations form the IP routing table
  • If no changes in OSPF network occur, OSPF should be quiet.

Q

Why do modern networks typically use single-area designs?

A

Modern networks typically use single-area designs since they allow for simplified MPLS TE designs and newer hardware capabilities make CPU power and memory resources less of a concern than they were in the past.
