    Study Notes

    Dynamic Routing Protocols

    • Dynamic routing protocols enable routers to automatically learn network topology updates.
    • These protocols reduce the need for manual configuration, but require ongoing CPU and bandwidth usage.
    • Examples include OSPF, EIGRP, and RIP.
    • Benefits:
      • Easy configuration, even on large networks.
      • Automatic route selection in case of link failures.
      • Load balancing across multiple links.
    • Drawbacks:
      • Bandwidth consumption due to routing updates.
      • Increased CPU and RAM usage on routers.

    Distance Vector Routing Protocols (DVR)

    • DVRs use hop count as a metric for determining the best routing path.
    • They advertise routing tables to all directly connected neighbors at intervals, potentially consuming a lot of bandwidth.
    • Benefits:
      • Simple to deploy and manage.
      • Low administrative overhead.
    • Drawbacks:
      • High bandwidth consumption.
      • Susceptible to routing loops.
    • Link state protocols calculate the best routing path based on path speed and resource cost.
    • They use an algorithm to determine the best path and send only updates when changes occur, rather than full routing tables.
    • Key differences from DVRs:
      • Link state protocols don't send full routing tables.
      • They notify each other when route changes are detected.
    • Table maintenance:
      • Neighbor Table: Stores information about neighboring routers.
      • Topology Table: Stores the complete network topology.
      • Routing Table: Stores the most efficient routes.
    • Benefits:
      • Maintain both best and backup routes.
      • Avoids unnecessary bandwidth consumption through triggered updates.
      • Partial updates are transmitted when topology changes occur.

    Routing Information Protocol (RIP)

    • RIP is a widely used dynamic routing protocol.
    • It utilizes hop count as a metric for routing decisions.
    • Configuration Steps (Example):
      • Router 1:
        • enable
        • configuration terminal
        • router rip
        • network 192.168.2.0
        • network 192.168.1.0
      • Router 2:
        • enable
        • configuration terminal
        • router rip
        • network 192.168.2.0
        • network 192.168.3.0
        • network 192.168.5.0
      • Router 3:
        • enable
        • configuration terminal
        • router rip
        • network 192.168.3.0
        • network 192.168.4.0

    Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)

    • EIGRP is a Cisco proprietary hybrid routing protocol.
    • It combines elements of both distance vector and link-state protocols.
    • Configuration Steps (Example):
      • Router 1:
        • enable
        • configuration terminal
        • router eigrp 100
        • network 192.168.2.0
        • network 192.168.1.0
        • no auto-summary
      • Router 2:
        • enable
        • configuration terminal
        • router eigrp 100
        • network 192.168.2.0
        • network 192.168.3.0
        • network 192.168.5.0
        • no auto-summary
      • Router 3:
        • enable
        • configuration terminal
        • router eigrp 100
        • network 192.168.3.0
        • network 192.168.4.0
        • no auto-summary
