Study Notes

  • Dynamic routing protocols are used in large networks to reduce the complexity of configuring static routes.
  • Routing protocols enable routers to exchange routing information and learn about remotely connected networks.
  • Dynamic routing protocols can be classified into categories such as EIGRP, OSPFv2, and OSPFv3.
  • Routing protocols are made up of processes, messages, and algorithms used by routers to learn about remotely connected networks.
  • Advantages of dynamic routing protocols include automatic updates and the ability to adapt to network changes.
  • Disadvantages of dynamic routing protocols include increased network traffic and potential security vulnerabilities.
  • Routing protocols can be categorized as either interior gateway protocols (IGPs) or exterior gateway protocols (EGPs) depending on whether they are used for intra-autonomous system or inter-autonomous system routing.
  • IGPs can be further classified as distance vector routing protocols or link state routing protocols.
  • Classful routing protocols don't include the subnet mask in their routing updates, while classless routing protocols do.
  • The metric and administrative distance are used to determine the best path to a network and prioritize routing sources, respectively.
