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.
