Questions and Answers

What is the main difference between a static and dynamic routing table?

A static table is updated automatically, while a dynamic table requires manual entries.

A static table requires manual entries, while a dynamic table is updated automatically. (correct)

A static table is used for internal routing, while a dynamic table is used for external routing.

A static table is used for IPv4, while a dynamic table is used for IPv6.

What is the function of a routing protocol in the Internet?

To encrypt data packets for secure transmission.

To restrict access to certain websites within the Internet.

To optimize data packet delivery within a single network.

To let routers inform each other of changes and share information about the internet or their neighborhood. (correct)

How is an Autonomous System (AS) defined?

An AS is a large network or group of networks with a unified routing policy. (correct)

An AS is a network used exclusively for email communication.

An AS is a small isolated network with no external connections.

An AS is a network that operates without any routing policy.

What analogy is used to describe the function of an Autonomous System (AS)?

Study Notes

Routing Tables

A static routing table is configured manually by a network administrator and remains unchanged until manually updated.
A dynamic routing table is updated automatically by routing protocols, reacting to changes in the network.

Routing Protocols

Routing protocols are used to exchange routing information between routers, enabling them to adapt to changes in the network and ensure efficient routing of data packets.

Autonomous System (AS)

An Autonomous System (AS) is a network or group of networks that operates under a single administrative entity, with a common routing policy.
An AS is analogous to a city, where routers within the AS are like traffic cops, directing traffic (data packets) within the city.

Role of Routers

Routers within an Autonomous System (AS) are responsible for forwarding data packets between networks, following the routing policy of the AS.
