Availability Vendor interoperability IT Staff Familiarity Speed of Convergence Capability to preform summarazation Interior or Exterior Routing Type of Protocol How it Advertises, stores and receives info
Distance Vector Attributes
Sends full copy of routing table to neighbor
- inefficient
- slow convergence
- potential routing loops
Solution to Routing loops

Poison reverse
What does AS stand for
Autonomous system
Distance Vector Protocols

RIP Attributes
Hop count
Versions RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng(next gen)
RIPv2 Attributes
Supports variable-length subnet masks
Uses multicast NOT broadcast -224.0.0.9
EIGRP Attributes
Does NOT send entire IP routing table
Uses triggered updates

DUAL or Diffusing Update Algorithm
Path Vector Attributes
Exact path packets take to reach the destination Slow convergence Very Scalable Routing protocol of the Internet BGP
Example of Path Vector Protocols?
BGP
BGP Versions
1-4
MP-BGP * supports routing of multi routed protocols
What does Route Distribution allow?
A network to simultaneously support more than one routing protocol
What was the predecessor to EIGRP
IGRP
Network Architecture Types
Point to Point
Broadcast
NBMA
NBMA (Non-Broadcast Multiaccess)
Does not support broadcast
Individual messages must be sent to each router
Issues with dynamic routing protocols
NBMA Network Examples
ATM
Frame Relay
Multicast IPv6 prefix
ff00::/8
Anycast
Single IPv6 addresses -to multiple devices
What traffic type does ARP use ?
ARP uses broadcast.
IPv6 cannot use ARP/Broadcast so it uses Network Discovery messages
What is Asymmetric routing ?
Traffic leaves through one path and returns through a different path
ICMP Header Fields
Type - 1 byte
Code - 1 byte
Checksum - 2 byte
Rest of Header - 4 byte
TCP Sliding Window
Where the window size begins with one segment. If there is a successful acknowledgment of that one segment (that is, the receiver sends an ACK asking for the next segment), the window size doubles to two segments
Link State Protocols
OSPF
IS-IS
Link State Attributes
- Builds a topological map of the network
- Routers send LSA’s
- Exchanges full routing info only at initially forming an adjacency ****Then updated in response to changes
- Shorter convergence times
Common approaches to routing migration
* AD (Administrative Distance) new routing protocols should be higher than the exiting *Route Distribution cut over one network at a time
When migrating from RPVST to RPVST+ what needs to be removes?
UplinkFast
BackboneFast
IPv6 Migration Consideration
*Check equipment for IPv6 compatibility
*Run IPv4 and IPv6 concurrently
*Check the ISP’s IPv6 support
*Configure NAT64
* Allows IPv6 addresses to be translated to IPv4
addresses
*Not scalable
*Use NPTv6
*Send IPv6 traffic over an IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnel
VRF - Virtual Routing & Forwarding
*Allows a single router to run multiple virtual router instances
○ It router has its own configuration and its
own routing process
*Segments networks and isolates paths as needed
*Can use overlapping address spaces in different VR
EVN - Easy Virtual Networking
Same as VRF with more features
VNET - Virtual network trunk
EVN
○ Carriers traffic for each virtual network and eliminates
the need to manually configure a sub-interface
○ Traffic tagged with VNET tag
○ Connects to switch via trunk link
* Route Replication
Route Replication
EVN
○ When virtual networks need to be accessible by other virtual networks
Allows IP routes know to one virtual network to
be known by others
MPLS - Multiprotocol Label Switching
Makes forwarding decisions based on labels rather than IP addresses
32bit label
shim header
between layer 2 & layer 3
Layer 2 MPLS
Allows customer edge (CE) routers at different sites to form routing neighborhsips as if adjacent
Layer 3 MPLS
Allows a service providers edge (PE) router to establish peer relationships with customers edge (CE) router
Hybrid VPN
MPLS with tunnel based VPN’s
MPLS over DMVPN
What should you consider in the deign with Hybrid VPN ?
Overhead - every time you add an encapsulation you are adding to the total header
Tunnel-Based Technologies
GRE DMVPN Multi point GRE NHRP IPSEC
GRE Generic Routing Protocol
Encapsulates nearly every type of data data out of a physical router interface
Any layer 3 protocol
Very flexible
No security
unless paired with IPSEC
DMVPN Dynamic Multipoint VPN
Allows VPN tunnels to be dynamically built and torn down between remote sites as needed
What is a common DMVPN Issue?
Flapping - connection keeps tearing down and establishing
Check the routing protocol
What other technologies does DMVPN require?
Multipoint GRE
NHRP
IPSEC
Multipoint GRE
Allows routers to supper multiple GRE tunnels on a single GRE interface
Dynamically form GRE tunnels by using NHRP to discover IP address of the device on the other end of the tunnel
NHRP - Next Hop Resolution Protocol
Router designated as the hub /server
All other routers the spoke/client
Spokes inform hub of physical and logical interfaces info
IPSEC
Can only protect unicast IP packets
Unless paired with GRE
Security features
IKE protocols
What are IPSEC’s security features
Confidentiality Integrity Auth Anti-replay packets sent are not duplicates
What are the two IKE protocols and what is the difference?
AH - Authentication header
ESP -
ESP offers encryption
What are the IKE Protocol modes ?
Transport
Tunnel
Tunnel Mode
Encapsulates the entire packet
Transport Mode
Users only the original packet header
used mainly for client-to-site VPN
IPv6 Benefits
No broadcast Only multicast to reach hosts No need for NAT/PAT More Addresses Smaller routing tables Fewer changes to Internet routing table
How does IPv6 addressing work ?
Public addresses group by geographic region
subdivided by ISP’s inside that region
further subdivided by customer
IPv6 global unicast address
the 2000::/3 prefix as global unicast addresses.
all unicast begins with 2 or 3
What does IPv6 use to dynamically learn addresses ?
Stateful DHCP
Starless autoconfig
Steps to add Routes to IP routing table using EIGRP ?
Neighbor Discovery
Topology Exchange
Choosing Routes
Steps to learning best available EIGRP route ?
Establish neighbor relationships
Exchange EIGRP topology data with neighbors
Calculate the best IP route for each subnet based on
known topology data and add best routes to the
routing table
EIGRP and RTP (Reliable Transport Protocol)
Resends routing table updates that are lost in transit
Confirms receipt
What is MTU used for in EIGRP ?
Used as a tie breaker if two paths have equal metrics but different MTU sizes
EIGRP default Hold Timers ?
Hello = 5 Hold = 15
EIGRP and BFD (Bi-Directional Forwarding)
Provides subsecond detection of a failure in IP connectivity between two neighboring routers
What EIGRP features must match to form neighborships?
Same subnet ○ As local router Must not be passive on connected interface AS number Authentication K-Values
What is the default K-Value for EIGRP ?
Metric weights 0 1 0 1 1 0
First value is ToS (Type of Service) and cannot be
changed
What does the EIGRP passive-interface command do ?
•Tells the router not to send any EIGRP messages on an interface
○ Still advertises the route
No neighbors possible on the interface
