Q

Static Route Advantages (3)

A
  1. Better security due to routes not being advertised
  2. Use less bandwidth/cpu than dynamic routing.
  3. Path of Static route is known; easier to troubleshoot

Q

Static Route Disadvantages (5)

A
  1. Initial config and maintenance is time consuming
  2. Config is prone to errors
  3. Admin intervention is required to maintain changing route info

Q

Default Static Route (4)

A

  2. Matches all packets.
  3. aka. Quad Zero Route

Q

When can Summary Static Routes be used (2)

A
  1. When dest. networks are contiguous and can be summarized into one IP address.
  2. Multiple static routes all use same exit interface or next-hop IP address

Q

Floating Static Route

A
  1. Route used to provide back up routes to a primary static or dynamic route.
  2. Sets higher Administrative Distance on Floating Static Route than on other routes. When normal route becomes unusable, routing defaults to floating static route.

Q

Next-Hop Static Route (2)

A
  1. aka Recursive Route

2. Static Route that uses the next-hop IP address to determine where to send data to reach the destination network.

Q

Directly Connected Static Route (3)

A
  1. Used prior to Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF)
  2. Uses exit interface to determine next hop.
  3. Route is displayed as directly connected , but still has an AD of 1.

Q

Fully Specified Static Route (2)

A
  1. Uses both next-hop IP address and exit interface.

2. Used in older pre-CEF IOSs

Q

Methods to Verify Static Route (6)

A
  1. ping and traceroute cmds
  2. show ip route
  3. show ip route static - displays static routes only
  4. show ip route connected - shows direct connect routes only.
  5. show ip route ip_address - shows route table information specific to the ip_address given.
  6. show running-config | section ip route

Q

Configure Default Static Route

A

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 {exit_inteface | next_hop_ip}

17
Q

Configure IPv6 Static Route (2)

A
  1. ipv6 unicast-routing //enables ipv6 routing

2. ipv6 route dest_ipv6_address / prefix_length {exit_interface | next_hop_IPv6_address}

18
Q

Configure IPv6 Default Static Route (2)

A
  1. ipv6 unicast-routing // if not already enabled

2. ipv6 route ::/0 {exit_interface | ipv6_next_hop_address}

19
Q

Classful Addressing

A

Breakdown of available IP addresses into Classes A through E.

20
Q

Class A Addresses (3)

A
  1. 0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255
  2. Default Subnet: 255.0.0.0
  3. Large Organizations
21
Q

Class B Addresses (3)

A
  1. 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255
  2. Default Subnet: 255.255.0.0
  3. Medium to Large Organizations
22
Q

Class C Addresses (3)

A
  1. 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255
  2. Default Subnet: 255.255.255.0
  3. Small to Medium Organizations
23
Q

Class D Addresses (3)

A
  1. 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255
  2. Default Subnet: non-defined.
  3. Multicast Addresses
24
Q

Class E Addresses (3)

A
  1. 240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
  2. Default Subnet: non-defined
  3. Experimental / Reserved
25
Q

Private Address Ranges (3)

A
  1. ) 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
  2. ) 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
  3. ) 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
26
Q

CIDR (3)

A
  1. ) Classless Inter-Domain Routing
  2. ) Allows creation of subnets not tied to Class License
  3. ) Allows route summarization / supernetting.
27
Q

route summarization (2)

A
  1. ) aka route aggregation

2. ) multiple static routes are summarized into a single route / ip network address.

28
Q

supernet (2)

A
  1. ) When route summarization mask is a smaller value than the default traditional classful subnet mask.
  2. ) Supernets are always route summaries but route summaries are not always supernets.
29
Q

Summarize IPv4 Static Routes (4)

A
  1. ) Translate network addresses to binary form.
  2. ) Count number of far left matching bits; these become the prefix length/subnet mask.
  3. ) Copy matching bits from all the addresses from step 2 into a new IP network address add 0’s after matching bits.
  4. ) Make sure to match all matching bits not just 1’s.
30
Q

Classless Routing Protocols (3)

A
  1. ) RIPv2
  2. ) Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
  3. ) Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)
31
Q

Summarizing IPv6 Static Routes (5)

A
  1. ) Convert IPv6 addresses to binary. (best to start with the address where a change occurs)
  2. ) Count far left matching bits; these become prefix length.
  3. ) Copy matching bits from all addresses from step 2 into a new binary string representing the IPv6 address.
  4. ) Convert binary into hex (4 bits = 1 hex digit).
  5. ) Uses same types of static addresses (next-hop, fully, defined, exit interface, etc) as IPv4.
32
Q

Common Administrative Distances (5)

A
  1. ) EIGRP : 90
  2. ) IGRP: 100
  3. ) OSPF: 110
  4. ) IS-IS: 115
  5. ) RIP: 120
33
Q

Configure Static Floating Route

A

ip route dest_ip_address subnet_mask {exit_interface | next_hop_ip} administrative_distance

34
Q

Methods to Troubleshoot Static Routes (5)

A
  1. ) ping or extended ping
  2. ) traceroute
  3. ) show ip route
  4. ) show ip interface brief - displays interfaces with IP addresses and status
  5. ) show cdp neighbors detail - displays what devices are connected to a specific device using Cisco Discovery Protocol
35
Q

Extended Ping

A
  1. Ping where the destination address is specified as well as the source address for the ping.
  2. ) Source can be another device in the network not necessarily the router/switch
  3. ) ping destination_ip_address source_ip_address
36
Q

Configure Default Static Floating Route

A

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 {next_hop_ip | exit_interface} Adminstrative_Distance
