NET-08-P1 Dynamic Routing Flashcards
The purpose of these protocols is to map networks and update routing tables with the shortest routes, in a fully automatic and independent manner
Dynamic Routing
Indicates that the route was manually created by an administrator to reach a specific network
Routing Source Codes: S
indicates that the route was learned dynamically from another router
Routing Source Codes: EIGRP
Indicates that the route was learned dynamically from another router using OSPF routing protocol
Routing Source Codes: O
is a measurable value assigned by the routing protocol to different routes based on the usefulness of the route
metric
This metric will choose the path with the least amount of hops, where hops refer to the router
Routing Protocol Metrics: RIP - Routing information Protocol
This metric is based on cumulative bandwidth from source to destination and will choose the path with the highest bandwidth
Routing Protocol Metrics: OSPF - Open Shortest Path First
are routing protocols used within an autonomous system (AS), such as company routers
Protocol Types - Interior Gateway Protocols (IGP)
are used to map routes between AS’s and are mainly used by ISPs
Exterior Gateway Protocols - EGP
What is the difference between Vector vs Link-State
how the protocols discover topology and the way they share routing information with the routers
is a routing algorithm that calculates the best path for a packet based on the factors of distance and vector
Distance Vector
The distance between the router and the destination network, based on the metric of number of hops (routers)
Distance
The outgoing interface and the direction to the path that leads to the destination network
Vector
routing protocols include complete network topology maps
Link State
The map is created based on information gathered from all routers on the network
