Chapter 7: Routing Dynamically Flashcards
What is Dynamic Routing protocol
7.1.1.3
Routing Protocols are used to exchange routing and route information between routers. Its purpose is to discover remote networks, maintain up-to-date routing info, choosing the best path to destination networks, and discover new best path if current path is disrupted.
What are the three (3) components Dynamic Routing Protocols
7.1.3.1
- Data structures – table/DBs kept in RAM
- Routing messages – used to discover neighbors & exchange information to maintain accurate information about the network.
- Algorithm – to facilitate best path determination.
What are the three (3) advantages of dynamic routing protocols
7.1.2.4
- Automatic! Little maintenance & administration overhead required.
- Calculate best path
- Help admins manage static routes
What are four (4) disadvantages of dynamic routing protocols
- CPU & memory usage can be high
- Network bandwidth usage
- Less secure – router conversations can be intercepted
- Experienced administrator required
What does RIP stand for
7.1.1.1
Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
What does OSPF stand for
7.1.1.1
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
What does EIGRP
7.1.1.1
Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol
What is BGP
7.1.1.1
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
used between Internet service providers
What area of data structure, EIGRP creates and maintains?
7.1.1.4
Topology table
Neighbor Table
Best path Table
In the area of of routing protocol messages, EIGRP use what?
7.1.1.4
Acknowledgments Queries Updates REplies Hello
To identify the best route, EIGRP uses this algorithm:
7.1.1.4
DUAL
What is the advantages of static Routing
7.1.2.1
Networks can use both static and dynamic routing. Static routing is easier to use in smaller, stable networks and are great for routing to and from stub networks, they don’t use any CPU or bandwidth, and finally they are more secure because they don’t share routing information.
What are the three (3) disadvantages of Static Routing
7.1.2.1
- They are not easy to implement in a large network.
- Managing the static configurations can become time consuming.
- If a link fails, a static route cannot reroute traffic.
What is coverage?
7.1.3.5
converged when all routers have complete and accurate information about the entire network,
What is Convergence
he routers share information with each other, but must independently calculate the impacts of the topology change on their own routes.
