Chap 6 - IP Routing Essentials Flashcards
What is a network of interconnected routers and systems under a common administration called?
Autonomous System or Routing Domain
What are the 5 most common routing protocols found on most routing platforms?
- RIPv2
- EIGRP
- OSPF
- IS-IS
- BGP
What is the difference between an IGP and an EGP?
- IGPs are optimized for routing within an AS
- EGPs are optimized for routing between Ass
What is BGP called when it is used within an autonomous system?
Interior BGP
What is BGP called when it is used to route between autonomous systems?
Exterior BGP
What does a Distance Vector routing protocol base its route computation on?
- Distance (number of hops)
- Vector (the local interface it uses to send the packet on its way)
What are 2 advantages of a Distance Vector routing protocol?
- Requires less CPU and memory
- Can run on low-end routers
What is the name of an enhanced Distance Vector algorithm used to calculate the shortest path to a destination?
Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL)
Which routing protocol uses DUAL?
EIGRP
Which routing protocol uses Bellman-Ford?
RIP or other Distance Vector protocols
What are 5 enhancements introduced by DUAL?
- Rapid Convergence
- Sends updates only when there’s a change
- Uses Hellos and forms Neighborships
- Uses bandwidth, delay, reliability, load and MTU
- can Load Balance across equal or un-equal cost links
Why is EIGRP called a Hybrid Routing Protocol?
Because it has characteristics of both Distance Vector and Link State routing protocols
By default what does EIGRP advertise?
- Total path delay
- Minimum bandwidth
What are 2 Link State routing protocols?
- OSPF
- IS-IS
What are OSPF advertisements called?
Link State Advertisements (LSAs)
What are IS-IS advertisements called?
Link State Packets (LSPs)
