(Looping interface) A loopback interface is a fake or virtual interface that is created on a ______.
router
(Looping interface) is not a physical interface; it’s ______. This virtual interface is assigned an __ _______ of your choice.
virtual, IP, address
(Looping interface) The purpose of a loopback interface is for _______ and _____________ purposes.
testing, administration
(Routing Table) A routing table is a file that contains a set of _____ that show information on what path a data packet takes to its __________.
rules, destination
(Routing Table) a router uses _______ ______.
routing tables
(Routing Table) as a data packet arrives at the router, the router looks at its _______ _____ to find out where to forward the ____ ______ along the best path to its destination.
routing, table, data, packet
(Routing Table) A basic routing table contains:
-Network destination
-Subnet mask
-Gateway
-Interface
-Next hop
-Metric
(Routing Table) Network destination: the IP address of the _____ __________
final destination
(Routing Table) Subnet mask: determines which part of the IP address is the ____ and _______ portion
host, network
(Routing Table) Gateway: tells the router which __ _______ the data packet should be ___________ to
IP, address, forwarded
(Routing Table) Interface: the outgoing IP address of the _____ that’s sending the ____.
device, data
(Routing Table) Next hop: the IP address to which the IP address is __________.
forwarded
(Routing Table) Metric: determines the best _____ among multiple ____________.
route, destinations
(Routing protocols) Routing protocols collect information about the current ________ ______ and map out the best path for data packets to take to their specific ___________.
network, status, destination
there are three different types of routing protocols:
-Distance Vector
-Link State
-Hybrid
there are three different types of routing protocols:
-Distance Vector
-Link State
-Hybrid
Distance vector: These protocols factor in the distance to the destination based on how many hops. A hop refers to how many routers a data packet has to go through to reach its destination.
