Q

What are the general steps for routing protocols to learn routes

A
  1. Each router adds a route to its routing table for each subnet directly connected.
  2. Each router’s routing protocol tells its neighbors about the routes in its routing table including directly connected routes and routes learned from other routers
  3. After learning new route from neighbor, it adds route to its IP table with neighbor as next hop
