2A Flashcards
Manually Defined by the system administrator as the only path to the destination; they are useful for controlling security and reducing traffic.
Static Routes
Are simple to configure and work well in environments where network traffic is relatively predictable and where network design is relatively simple.
Static Routes
A special static route manually defined by the system administrator as the path to take when no route to destination is known.
Default Route
A default route is often called what?
The Gateway of Last Resort
A router to which all non-routable packets are sent?
The Gateway of Last Resort
A network layer protocol that exchanges information packets with other internetwork routers in order to Build and Maintain a routing table.
Dynamically Learned Routes
The most dominantly used routing algorithms used today are?
RIP, IGRP, OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP
They are popular since the y adjust to changing network circumstances.
The most common routing metric is what?
Path Length aka Hop Count
Refers to the dependability of each network link
Reliability
Refers to the length of time required to move a packet from source to destination to internetwork.
Delay
Refers to the available traffic capacity of a link.
Bandwidth
Refers to the degree to which a network resource, such as a router, is busy.
Load
An example would be sending packets over their own lines rather than through the public lines that cost money for usage time.
Communication Cost
Support multiple paths to the same destination by load balancing or load sharing
Multi-Path Algorithms
They provide substantially better throughput, reliability, and shorter convergence times
Multi-Path Algorithms
The routers are peers for all others.
Flat Algorithms
Operates in a flat address space, where all routers in a domain must use the same subnet mask, sometimes referred to as Glassful routing.
Flat Algorithms
This structure is called Classless routing and supports Variable Length Subnet Masks (VLSM)
Hierarchical Algorithms
Used with Interior Gateway Protocols, they are used to exchange routing information within an Autonomous System or routing domain. Examples are RIP, IGRP, EIGRP, OSPF, and IS-IS
Intra-domain algorithms
Are used with Exterior Gateway Protocols, and exchange routing information within and between Autonomous systems such as the Internet.
Inter-domain algorithms
An approach that determines the direction and distance to any link in the internetwork. Also known as Glassful
Distance Vector algorithms
This form of routing update is often called “routing by rumor” since the routers don’t know where the information originally came from.
Distance Vector Algorithms
Build a complete topological map of the entire area in memory, which allows them to see the entire path to the destination network ensuring the path is valid and is the best path available.
Link State Algorithms
They use multicast link-state advertisements to notify other routers in the routing area
