Study Notes
Dynamic Routing Overview
- Dynamic routing protocols automatically discover and maintain routing information.
- Purpose: Discover remote networks, maintain up-to-date routing tables, determine the best path, adjust to network changes.
- Reduces administrative overhead, automatically adapts to topology changes, suitable for large complex networks.
Dynamic Routing Protocol Advantages and Disadvantages
- Advantages: Reduces administrative overhead, automatically adapts to topology changes, suitable for large complex networks.
- Disadvantages: Requires router resources (CPU, bandwidth), slower convergence compared to static routing, adds complexity to troubleshooting.
Dynamic Routing Protocol Types
- Distance-Vector Protocols: Share routing updates with neighbors (e.g., RIP, EIGRP). Less detailed network map. Metrics include hops, cost, or delay.
- Link-State Protocols: Build a full network topology map (e.g., OSPF, IS-IS). Employ algorithms like Dijkstra's to compute shortest path. More detailed network map.
- Hybrid Protocols: Combine elements of both types (e.g., EIGRP).
Routing Protocol Classifications
- Classful vs. Classless: Classful protocols (e.g., RIPv1, IGRP) don't send subnet mask information. Classless protocols (e.g., RIPv2, EIGRP, OSPF) support VLSM and CIDR.
- Interior Gateway Protocols (IGP): Used within an Autonomous System (e.g., RIP, EIGRP, OSPF).
- Exterior Gateway Protocols (EGP): Used between Autonomous Systems (e.g., BGP).
Key Metrics In Routing Protocols
- Metrics determine the best path: Hops (number of routers to destination), Bandwidth (link capacity), Delay (time), Reliability (link stability), Load (network usage).
Distance-Vector Protocols Details
- RIP (Routing Information Protocol): Updates every 30 seconds, maximum hop count of 15, uses the Bellman-Ford algorithm.
- EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol): Uses DUAL algorithm for fast convergence, supports multiple network layer protocols, sends updates only when topology changes.
Link-State Protocols Details
- OSPF (Open Shortest Path First): Builds topology map using Link-State Advertisements (LSAs), faster convergence using Dijkstra's algorithm.
- IS-IS (Intermediate System to Intermediate System): Commonly in provider networks, similar to OSPF in functionality.
Routing Table Concepts
- Route Types: Directly connected, static, or dynamically learned routes.
- Lookup Process: Searches for longest prefix match for destination IP, prefers routes with lowest administrative distance.
Administrative Distance
- Administrative distance determines trustworthiness of a routing source. Directly connected = 0 (most preferred), Static = 1, RIP = 120, OSPF = 110, EIGRP = 90.
Convergence
- Convergence: Network converges when all routers have complete and accurate routing information.
- Speed of Convergence: Distance-vector protocols slower (e.g., RIP), Link-state protocols faster (e.g., OSPF).
Study Focus
- Understand protocols (RIP, EIGRP, OSPF features/differences).
- Metrics and administrative distance.
- Routing table analysis (interpreting, tracing packet paths).
