Q

What are the general rules of routing?

A
  1. Routers will only use routes with reachable next hops
  2. Routers will only use the best route
  3. Routes must be believable and still active
  4. Router will only accept routes that match it’s own active protocols

Q

What is a connected route?

A

The router has a network on it’s interface and is able to figure out what network is on the cable that’s connected to the interface

Q

What is administrative distance?

A

The feature that routers use in order to select the best path when there are two or more different routes to the same destination from two different routing protocols also defines the reliability of a routing protocol

17
Q

What is an Autonomous System?

A

Collection of networks under 1 administrative authority

18
Q

What is IGP?

A

Interior Gateway Protocol

Provides reachability information WITHIN an autonomous system

19
Q

What is EGP?

A

Exterior Gateway Protocol

Provides reachability information BETWEEN DIFFERENT autonomous systems

20
Q

What are the 4 categories of routing protocols?

A

Distance Vector - IGP

Link State - IGP

Advance Distance Vector(Hypbrid) - IGP

Path Vector - EGP

21
Q

What are the 4 routing update types?

A

Incremental Update - Only changes are sent in the update

Full update- Full routing table is sent in the update

Periodic Update - Sent in the specified time interval

Triggered update - Sent whenever change is detected

Triggered and Incremental are basically the same thing.

22
Q

What is a routing metric?

A

Metrics are used to determine whether one route should be chosen over another. The metric depends on the routing protocol architecture.

Rip Metric - Hop Count

OSPF Metric - Link Bandwidth

EIGRP - Composite formula utilizing link bandwidth and delay

23
Q

Where is basic info of a statis route?

A
  1. Used in small networks
  2. No dynamic fail over
  3. Information on destination prefix and gateway are required
24
Q

What is a floating static route?

A

A manually set static route with a higher administrative distance than another more preferred route.

Command:

Router(config)#ip route

25
Q

What is Router on a stick?

A

Term frequently used to describe a setup up that consists of a router and switch connected using one Ethernet link configured as an 802.1q trunk link. In this setup, the switch is configured with multiple VLANs and the router performs all routing between the different networks/VLANs.

26
Q

What do you have to do to a switch for it to route?

A

Enable routing on the switch

Switch(config)#ip routing

27
Q

What are the characteristics of RIPv2?

A

IGP/ Distance Vector - no neighbor relations

Metric = Hop Count

Capable of load balacing 6 equal cost paths

Sends out routing updates every 30 seconds

28
Q

What multicast addresses does RIP utilize for IPv4 and IPv6?

A

IPv4 - 224.0.0.9

IPv6 - FF02::9

29
Q

What are the IGP dynamic routing configuration steps?

A
  1. Makes sure there is at least one functional interface with an i[ address on the device.
  2. Enable routing protocol
  3. Define networks for which the routing protocol will be active
  4. Enable authentication for the routing protocol (optional)
30
Q

What is the command for a IPv6 address?

A

Router(config-if)#i[v6 address <address> / </address>

31
Q

Is IPv6 enabled by default on routers or multi-layer switches?

A

No

Use the command

Router(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing

Permits router to send ICMPv6 Router Advertisements

Allows IPv6 routing between connected interfaces

Allows operation of IPv6 routing protocols.

32
Q

How do you set a IPv6 static route?

A

Router(config)#ipv6 route

33
Q

How do you configure a default IPv6 Route?

A

Router(config)# ipv6 route ::/0 2001:aa:bb:cc::77
