Terminology 4 Flashcards
AD is used to rate what?
The trustworthiness of routing information.
What are the minimum and maximum AD?
0, 255
What does an AD of 255 mean?
No traffic is allowed to be passed via this route.
What happens when multiple routing protocols are running on a router?

What three tables do Link State routing protocols keep?
- Directly attached neighbours
- Topology of the entire network
- The actual routing table
When distance vector routing protocols pass their routing tables to their neighbours, what is this known as?
Routing by rumour.
If two routes are received with the same AD, how does the protocol choose a route?
The protocol uses other metrics.
In DV routing, if the AD is the same and the hop count is the same, what does the router do?
It uses round-robin load balancing.
What normally happens to data transmission when routers are converging?
It stops
How often does RIP send out a complete routing table to all active interfaces?
Every 30 seconds.
What is RIP’s maximum allowable hop count
15
Why does RIP limit the allowable hop count to 15?
To prevent routing loops.
Why can RIP cause latency in a network?
Slow convergence.
Does RIP support classful routing?
No, all devices must use the same subnet mask for each specific address class.
Why is RIPv2 considered classless?
Because subnet information is sent with each route update.
Is RIP open standard or proprietary?
Open standard.
RIPv1 uses broadcasts to send routing information to neighbours. What does RIPv2 use (and what address)?
Multicast 224.0.0.9
What authentication do RIP and RIPv2 support?
RIP - none
RIPv2 - MD5
Do RIP and RIPv2 support VLSM?
RIP - no
RIPv2 - yes
What 3 routing protocols send subnet mask information with route updates?
RIPv2
OSPF
EIGRP
What is a discontiguous network?
One that has two or more subnets of a classful network connected together by different classful networks
Discontiguous networks work with which protocol?
OSPF
What is route aggregation?
Combining multiple subnets into one larger subnet.
What is another name for route aggregation?
Supernetting.
What link-state characteristic does EIGRP have, making it a hybrid protocol?
It synchronises routing tables between neighboursat startup, and then only sends specific updates only when topology changes occur.
Does EIGRP support IPv6?
Yes, EIGRPv6 does
Does EIGRP support summaries and discontiguous networks?
Yes
With EIGRP, what is RTP?
Reliable Transport Protocol
What is DUAL?
Diffusing Update Algorithm
What is a ‘successor’ route?
The best route to a remote network
What is the backup route to a remote network called in EIGRP?
Feasible successor route
What is route redistribution
Translating from one routing protocol to another
BGP is a ____ _____ routing protocol
Path vector
What is the routing table in BGP called?
Routing Information Base (RIB)
What are Hello packets used for?
To maintain the neighbour table in link-state routing
How is the topology table maintained?
Via Link State Advertisements, or Packets (LSAs or LSPs).
What does a topology table contain?
A list of all destination networks plus every neighbour they can be reached through.
SPF
Shortest Path First
What algorithm does OSPF use?
The Dijkstra algorithm
Which converges faster, OSPF or EIGRP?
EIGRP
Does OSPF support auto summarisation?
No
What is the OSPF area connected to the backbone called?
Area 0
What are routers that connect other areas to the backbone area within OSPF called?
ABRs (Area Border Routers)
What is the router that connects two ASs in OSPF called?
ASBR (Autonomous System Border Router)
In IS-IS where do L1 intermediate systems route?
Within an area
In IS-IS where do L2 intermediate systems route?
Between areas and toward other ASs
CLNS
Connectionless Network Service
What is CLNS used for
In IS-IS to provide connectionless delivery of data packets between routers (OSPF uses IP)
Why do ISPs prefer IS-IS over OSPF?
It can run IP and IPv6 without creating a separate database for each protocol like OSPF does.
FHRP
First Hop Redundancy Protocol
HSRP
Hot Standby Routing Protocol
How can you achieve load balancing with HSRP?
Set up different VLANs and designating different routers as active for that VLAN
VRRP
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol
What routers are defined in an HSRP group?
Active router
Standby router
Virtual router
any other routers that may be connected to the subnet.
What is the drawback with HSRP?
Only one router is active, the others do nothing.
What happens if the HSRP standby router does not receive Hello packets from the active router?
It takes over the active router role.
What is the makeup of the HSRP virtual MAC address:
0000.0c07.ac.0a
0000.0c - Vendor ID (Cisco)
07.ac - The well-known HSRP ID
0a - the HSRP group number
What are the 4 HSRP timers?
- Hello
- Hold
- Active
- Standby
What is the HSRP hello timer, and what is its default interval?
They identify the state that each router is in. The default is 3 seconds.
Roughly what sort of time can the HSRP hello timer be set to?
milliseconds
What is the HSRP hold timer, and what is the default setting? What is the recommended setting if the hello timer is changed?
It is the interval the standby router uses to determine whether the active router is offline. The default is 10 seconds. The recommendation is to set it 3 times the hello timer.
What is an HSRP active timer?
It monitors the state of the active router, it resets each time a router in the standby group gets a hello packet from the active router.
What is an HSRP standby timer?
It monitors the state of the standby router, it resets each time a router in the standby group gets a hello packet from the standby router,

Which router in a VRRP group can have the same IP address as the group?
The master router
What are the standby routers in a VRRP group called?
Backup routers
In IPv6, what is the purpose of router advertisement?
To send a network ID (called a prefix in IPv6) to a host, so it can generate its own IPv6 address.
