IPv4 Routing Flashcards

1
Q

What is a routing table

A

is a list of routes to known networks. This information is gathered from directly connected networks, static routes, and dynamic routing protocols.

Q

What is a metric

A

identifies how far away the destination is, either in distance or time. The lower the metric, the higher the preference of the route.

Q

What is next-hop

A

The next-hop is the IP address of the next router that the packet will be forwarded to.

Q

What is the longest match when it comes to routers

A

Its the route (IP address) that has the most matching bits from left to right

Q

Once the router has calculated the best path, describe what would happen if it chose the Directly connected networks

A

the router will forward the packet to the directly connected device on that network.

Q

Once the router has calculated the best path and chooses the Remote network what will happen next

A

the router will forward the packet to a next-hop router. Remote routes can be added to the routing table manually or dynamically. Manually added routes are referred to as static routes

16
Q

Once the router has chose the default route what happens next

A

If there is no match found in the routing table, the packet will be dropped. This can be avoided by setting a default route in hopes that the next device will have more information on the intended destination. Default routes can be entered manually or can be obtained via dynamic routing protocols.

17
Q

What is Packet forwarding

A

to place packets into the correct data link frame type for the outgoing device.

18
Q

What is the first step in the packet forwarding decision process

A

The data link frame arrives with an encapsulated IP address

19
Q

What is the second step in the packet forwarding decision process

A

The router examines the destination address and refers to its routing table

20
Q

What is the third step in the packet forwarding decision process

A

The router finds the longest match in the routing table

21
Q

What is the fourth step in the packet forwarding decision process

A

The router encapsulates the packet in a frame with the updated routing information

22
Q

What is the fifth step in the packet forwarding decision process

A

If there is no matching route entry, the packet is dropped

23
Q

Describe process switching

A

the earliest Cisco route processing implementation. Process switching required the router to process each received frame individually using the steps outlined above.

24
Q

Describe fast switching

A

processes packets in the same manner as process switching; however, it incorporates several mechanisms designed to optimize the process, caches frequently used data link headers and recently used destinations.

25
Q

Describe Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF)

A

an advanced routing mechanism designed to optimize packet processing in very large networks. CEF increases packet switching speed and reduces the overhead introduced by other routing techniques

Q

What is administrative distance

A

a value used to rank route sources
