Static routes that are manually entered by net admin
Use in small networks with very few routes that rarely change

Q

Problem with static routing

A

Problematic for large networks if networks regularly changes
Time consuiming and prone to error since you have to manually type in

Q

What is dynamic routing

A

Automated form of routing that uses routing protocol to:
Populate routing tables
Make the most efficient routing decisions
Update the routing table whenever the network changes
Automatic and hands off-all routing decisions are handled by the protocol
Used in large networks

Q

How does IGP work

A

Used internally within our single AS (organization)
Not intended to route between autonomous systems, we use egp for that

16
Q

How does EGP work

A

Use to route between AS or from 1 org to another
Used by ISPs
Ex: if we want to route traffic between udemy to facebook, ISP will utilize BGP

17
Q

What is distance vector

A

Uses distance as its metric for making routing decisions
Distance = hop count
Pc1 to router 1 = 1 hop, router 1 to router 2 = 2 hop etc
Hops are the number of routers it has to pass through from source to destination

18
Q

What is link state

A

Builds a map of entire network
Utilizes LSAs (link state sdvertisements) to accomplish routers share information w all other routers on the network

Routers only update each other when there is a change in the network

19
Q

What protocol uses link state

A

OSPF

20
Q

What is ospf

A
21
Q

What is bgp

A

Border gateway protocol
Used by large networks
Used by ISPs
Very scalable since it uses hundreds of thousands even millions of routes

22
Q

What is igp

A

Interior gateway protocol
Used for exchanging routing information between gateways

23
Q

What is egp

A

Provides connection between different AS
