link state routing process
- each router learns about its own links
- each router uses hello packets to establish adjacencies
- each router builds a link-state packet
- each router floods the LSP to all neighbors
- each router uses the database to construct a complete map of the topology, SPF determines the best paths

31
basic routing troubleshooting
- check routing tables for convergence using show ip route
- ip routes are missing investigate protocol operation using show ip protocols
- check for missing neighbors using show ip (ospf or eigrp) neighbors
- show run config
32
troubleshooting VLSM
- pay attention to see if design really uses VLSM, check for classless routing protocol
- check for overlapping subnets
- outward symptoms include not sending packets out of local subent
- use traceroute
- do the math on subnets to be sure they don't overlap

40
what is a distance vector protocol?
- use distance & direction
- don't know topology
Works best with
- flat, simple networks
- administrators don't understand link state protocols
- specific types of networks (hub & spoke) are being implemented
- worst-case convergence times are not a concern
41
what are link-state routing protocols
- have complete topology
- only send updates when topology changes
works best
- hierarchal networks
- large networks
- knowledgeable administrators
- fast convergence is crucial
42
how does routing decide between multiple paths to same destination?
metric
-metric can viewed with show ip route command
43
administrative distance
- defines preference of a routing source
- all routes are prioritized by AD regardless of protocol, static routes, etc.
- lower value = higher priority
- can be 0 to 255
verify w/ show ip protocols command

51
preventing routing loops w/distance vector protocols
- define maximum metirc
- hold down timers
- split horizon
- route poisoning or poison reverse
- triggered updates
- TTL field in ip header
52
hold-down timers
instructs routers to hold any changes that might affect routes for a specific period of time. If a route is identified as down or possibly down any other information for that route containing the same status or worse, is ignored for the hold down period so the network can converge
53
split horizon
doesn't allow advertisement to be sent out the same interface from which they originated
54
route poisoning or poison reverse
used to mark route as unreachable in a routing update sent to other routers
55
LSDB & LSA
link state database
| link state advertisements
56
SPF
shortest path first
- run on LSDF to create SPF tree
- adds cost associated w/each link between itself
- lowest cost path is added to routing table
57
how to accomplish inter VLAN routing
- one router interface per vlan
- router on a stick using trunk link and sub interfaces
- layer 3 switch
58
feasible successor
a neighbor who has a loop free backup path to the same network as the successor by satisfying the feasibility condition
59
standard ACLs
filter based on source address
60
extended ACL
filters based on source & destination address, protocol, or ports
61
ACL guidelines

What is an OSPF router that has interfaces in multiple areas called?
Area border router
81
OSPF area 0
There must be an area 0
It should be used or the backbone
82
EIGRP IPv4 multicast address
224.0.0.10
83
AD in context of EIGRP?
Advertised distance.
| The total metric along a path to a destination network as advertised by an upstream neighbor
84
How is feasible distance calculated in EIGRP?
advertised distance + metric to neighbor
85
What can cause adjacency issues in EIGRP?
The interface between the devices is down.
The routers have mismatching EIGRP autonomous systems.
The EIGRP process is not enabled on one of the interfaces that connects the devices.
One of the interfaces that connects the devices is configured as a passive interface.
mismatched K values
86
Issues that prevent routing table from learning appropriate routes
Networks are not being advertised on remote routers.
An access list is blocking advertisements of remote networks.
Automatic route summarization is causing confusion in your discontiguous network.
87
EIGRP IPv6 multicast address
FF02::A
88
differences in configuring EIGRP for IPv6
after configuring the routing process you must issue a no shutdown command in routing configuration mode
there a now network statements. instead you add an interface to routing by issuing a ipv6 eigrp AS# command in interface configuration mode
89
What are OSPF dbd packets?
Database Description packets contain LSA headers that help routers build the link state database.
90
What are OSPF LSR packets?
Once DBD packets are exchanged, each router checks the LSA Headers against its own database. If it it does not have current information for any LSA, it generates an LSR packets and sends it to its neighbor to request updated LSAs.
91
What are OSPF LSU packets?
LSU packets contains a list of LSAs that are to be updated. This packet is often used in flooding.
92
What are OSPF LSAck packets
LSAck packets help to ensure reliable transmission of LSAs. Each LSA is explicitly acknowledged.
93
The default OSPF costs are based on a reference of 100mbps. What are the 3 options to adjust this for faster links?
Set the reference bandwidth globally
manually set the interface cost on specific interfaces
manually configure the reference bandwidth per interface
94
What process is used for OSPF routers to exchange information
The routers exchange one or more DBD packets. A DBD includes information about the LSA entry header that appears in the LSDB of the router. Each LSA entry header includes information about the link-state type, the address of the advertising router, the cost of the link, and the sequence number. The router uses the sequence number to determine the "newness" of the received link-state information.
When the router receives the DBD, it acknowledges the receipt of the DBD that is using the LSAck packet.
Routers compare the information that they receive with the information that they have. If the received DBD has a more up-to-date link-state entry, the router sends an LSR to the other router to request the updated link-state entry.
The other router responds with complete information about the requested entry in an LSU packet. The other router adds the new link-state entries to its LSDB.
When the router receives an LSU, it sends an LSAck.
95
OSPF backbone area, or area 0
The primary function of this OSPF area is to quickly and efficiently move IP packets. Backbone areas interconnect with other OSPF area types. The OSPF hierarchical area structure requires that all areas connect directly to the backbone area. In the figure, links between Area 1 and Area 2 routers are not allowed. Generally, end users are not found within a backbone area, which is also known as OSPF Area 0.
96
Normal or non backbone OSPF area
The primary function of this OSPF area is to connect users and resources. Normal areas are usually set up according to functional or geographical groupings. By default, a normal area does not allow traffic from another area to use its links to reach other areas. All traffic from other areas must cross a transit area such as Area 0.
97
What does an OSPF autonomous system consist of ?
all of the OSPF areas and routers that are running the OSPF routing protocol.
98
What are OSPF internal routers?
non backbone routers that have all interfaces in a single area
99
What are OSPF area border routers?
routers that connect nonbackbone areas to the backbone area
100
What functions does an OSPF area border router perform?
It separates LSA flooding zones.
It becomes the primary point for area address summarization.
It functions regularly as the source for default routes.
It maintains the LSDB for each area with which it is connected.
101
What is the ideal design for how many areas an ABR connects to?
The ideal design is to have each ABR connected to two areas only, the backbone and another area, with three areas being the upper limit.
102
What is an autonomous system boundary router ASBR?
An ABR located between an OSPF autonomous system and a non-OSPF network. ASBRs run both OSPF and another routing protocol, such as RIP. ASBRs must reside in a nonstub OSPF area.
103
Type 1 LSA
router LSA
Every router generates router link advertisements for each area to which it belongs. Router link advertisements describe the state of the router links to the area and are flooded only within this particular area.
104
Type 2 LSA
network LSA
Network LSAs are generated only by designated routers and describe the set of routers attached to a particular nonbroadcast multiaccess (NBMA) or broadcast network. The purpose of the network LSA is to ensure that only one LSA is generated for the NBMA or broadcast network (as opposed to one from each attached router). This is a form of internal OSPF summarization.
105
Type 3 LSA
summary LSA
Summary LSAs are generated by area border routers (ABRs) and describe inter-area routes to various networks. Specifically, Type 3 LSAs describe networks that are within the OSPF autonomous system but outside of the particular OSPF area that is receiving the LSA.
106
Type 4 LSA
ASBR summary LSA
Each summary LSA describes a route to a destination outside the OSPF area yet still inside the autonomous system (that is, an inter-area route). the Type 4 summary LSAs describe routes to autonomous system boundary routers (ASBRs) and are also generated by ABRs.
107
Type 5 LSA
Autonomous system LSA
Type 5 LSAs are generated by the ASBRs. These LSAs describe routes to destinations that are external to the AS. Type 5 LSAs are flooded everywhere, with the exception of stub areas.
108
max number of routers that should participate in an OSPF area
50
109
What are the major components of OSPF troubleshooting?
OSPF neighbor adjacencies
OSPF routing table
OSPF path selection
110
Key OSPFv3 Characteristics
As in OSPFv2, each OSPF router is uniquely identified by its RID, a 32-bit number that is based on an IPv4 address of the router. If no IPv4 address is configured, you will be prompted to configure it using the router-id command.
Adjacencies and next-hop attributes use IPv6 link-local addresses.
IPv6 is used for transport of LSAs.
OSPFv3 is enabled per link instead per network as in OSPFv2.
OSPFv3 communicates with its peers using IPv6 multicast addresses.
111
OSPFv3 multicast addresses
FF02::5 for all OSPF routers
FF02::6 for the OSPF DR and OSPF BDR.
112
command to enable OSPFv3 on an interface
ipv6 ospf process-id area area-id
113
show command to get general OSPFv3 info
show ipv6 ospf
