Study Notes
Routing and Switching Overview
- The instructor is Dr. Saleem ullah from the Department of Computer Science, KFUEIT - Rahim Yar Khan.
- Topics covered include Routing Protocols and basic configuration, Distance Vector Routing Protocols (DVRP), DVRP Configuration, Link State Routing Protocols (LSRP), and LSRP Configuration.
Routing Protocols
- Routing is performed by layer 3 (network layer) devices, delivering packets by selecting an optimal path from one network to another.
- Types of Routing:
- Static Routing
- Default Routing
- Dynamic Routing
Static Routing
- Static routing involves manually adding routes to the routing table.
- Advantages:
- Low CPU overhead for the router
- Enhanced security, as only administrators can configure routes to specific networks.
- No bandwidth consumption between routers.
- Disadvantages:
- Difficult for large networks, requiring manual configuration of each route on every router.
- Requires in-depth knowledge of the network topology.
Static Routing Configuration
- Example configurations are provided for routers R1, R2, and R3, specifying IP addresses and network routes.
Default Routing
- Default routing configures the router to send all packets to a single router (next hop) regardless of the destination network.
- This is commonly used with stub routers, which have only one route to reach all other networks in the topology.
- Example configurations are provided for routers R1 and R2, setting up default routes.
Dynamic Routing
- Dynamic routing automatically adjusts routes based on the current network state, leveraging protocols to discover destinations and optimize paths.
- Protocols like RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) are common examples.
- Advantages:
- Easier configuration for large networks
- Efficient route selection
- Disadvantages:
- Increased bandwidth consumption for communicating with neighboring routers.
- Lower security compared to static routing.
Distance Vector Routing vs Link State Routing
- Key differences between distance vector (e.g., RIP) and link-state (e.g., OSPF) protocols are highlighted:
- Routing Table Structure (complete vs. partial)
- Update Mechanisms (periodic vs. event-driven)
- Convergence Time (slower vs. faster)
- Resource Utilization (less vs. more)
Distance Vector Routing Details
- RIP is a distance-vector protocol, the simplest to implement.
- Distance is measured in hops, and the vector indicates the direction to the next router.
- Routing tables are exchanged periodically, allowing routers to learn about network distances and paths.
