Routing Fundamentals Flashcards
What is a router
L3 device
Breaks up broadcast domain
Use to connect diff networks
Use to communicate from our internal to external network
Uses routing protocols
Routing categories
Static
Dynamic
What is static routing
Simplest form of routing
Static routes that are manually entered by net admin
Use in small networks with very few routes that rarely change
Problem with static routing
Problematic for large networks if networks regularly changes
Time consuiming and prone to error since you have to manually type in
What is dynamic routing
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
Types of Dynamic routing
Distance vector
Link state
Hybrid
What is distance vector
What is link state
What is hybrid routing
What is AS (autonomous system)
Independent Entity or Organization
Group of networks that is controlled by a single administrative entity
Type of IGP
RIP
EIGRP
OSPF
Type of EGP
BGP
What routing protocol uses distance vector
RIP
EIGRP
What routing protocol uses link state
BGP
How does IGP work
Used internally within our single AS (organization)
Not intended to route between autonomous systems, we use egp for that
