Study Notes
Basic Router Configuration
- Configure devices and verify connectivity.
- Display router information.
IP Routing Table Overview
- Contains routes to known networks including prefixes and prefix lengths.
- Information sources include:
- Directly connected networks.
- Static routes.
- Dynamic routing protocols.
Route Source Codes
- L: Identifies address assigned to a router interface.
- C: Identifies a directly connected network.
- S: Identifies a static route for specific network access.
- O: Identifies a dynamically learned network using OSPF protocol.
- *: Indicates a candidate for a default route.
Routing Table Principles
- Proper configuration of static and dynamic routing resolves issues affecting path determination between source and destination devices.
Path Determination Functions
- Routing: Decides which interface to forward an IP packet to reach its destination.
- Forwarding: Moves packets either to the destination directly or through intermediate routers.
Static Routes
- Manually configured paths between networks.
- Not automatically updated; require reconfiguration with topology changes.
- Uses in small networks:
- Simplifies route management.
- Employs a default route for unmatched destinations.
- Essential for routing to and from stub networks, accessed via a single neighbor.
Static Routes in IP Routing Table
- Example shown with IPv4 and IPv6 static routes configured on R1 to reach specific networks on R2.
Dynamic Routing Protocols
- Allow routers to automatically share reachability and status of remote networks.
