IPv4 Routing Flashcards
What is a routing table
is a list of routes to known networks. This information is gathered from directly connected networks, static routes, and dynamic routing protocols.
What is a routing source with the code L
Local router interface
What is a routing source with the code C
a directly connected network
What is a routing source with the code S
a static route used to reach a certain network
What is a routing source with the code P
a dynamic network learned using the OSPF routing protocol
What is a routing source with the code R
a dynamic network learned using the RIP routing protocol
What is Administrative distance
is a description of the trustworthiness or preferability of a route
What is Prefix and prefix length
The network address and subnet address for the destination route
What is a metric
identifies how far away the destination is, either in distance or time. The lower the metric, the higher the preference of the route.
What is next-hop
The next-hop is the IP address of the next router that the packet will be forwarded to.
What is the Route timestamp
The route timestamp indicates how much time has passed since the route was learned.
What is the Exit interface
The interface used for sending packets to their destination.
What is the longest match when it comes to routers
Its the route (IP address) that has the most matching bits from left to right
Once the router has calculated the best path, describe what would happen if it chose the Directly connected networks
the router will forward the packet to the directly connected device on that network.
Once the router has calculated the best path and chooses the Remote network what will happen next
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
