Routing Flashcards
What is a Router?
is a piece of software or hardware that forwards packets based on their destination IP address.
What is a Routing Table?
Every router has one that ell the router exactly where to send packets. Each row in the table defines a single route.
How many components does a routing table have?
What are they
4
Destination LAN
Subnet Mask
Gateway
Interface
What is a Metric in Router?
is a relative value that defines the cost of using the route.
If there are multiple routes the lower metric would be used if available.
What is NAT and its meaning?
Network Address Translation hides the Ip address of computers on a LAN but still enables those computers to communicate with the broader internet.
What is PAT and its meaning?
Port Address Translation uses port numbers tom app traffic from specific machines in the network. This only works from within a network to an external network.
What are the types of Port Forwarding.
Static NAT
Dynamic Nat
What is Static NAT?
maps single routable IP address to a single machine enable you to access that machine from outside the network
What is Dynamic
computers can share a pool of routable IP address.
What are the Type of Routing Protocol
Distance Vector
Path Vector
Link State
Name types of Distance Vector
RIPv1 & RIPv2, EIGRP
Name type of Path Vector
BGP
Name type of Link State
OSPF & ISIS
Who does level 1 Routers communicate with
Only level 1
Who does level 1/2 Routers communicate with
Only level 1/2
What is RIP?
What is the AD for RIP?
What is the protocol used and port
A dynamic routing protocol which uses hop counts as a routing metric to find the best path between the source and destination.
AD is 120
UDP port 520
What is the features of RIP?
- Updates of the network are exchanged periodically
- Updates are always broadcast
- Full routing tables are sent in updates
- 15 hop max. the 16 is unreachable
What is BGP?
Exchange routing information for the internet and it’s the protocol used by ISP.
