Study Notes
- Router actions: when a router receives a packet for another network, it creates a route and hands off the packet to the next router, changing Layer 2 addresses.
- Exterior Gateway Protocols (BGP): used for routing between autonomous systems and between Internet Service Providers. Requires a 16-bit Autonomous System Number and communicates between border routers.
- Interior Gateway Protocols: used for exchanging routing information within networks, such as RIP and OSPF. RIP is a distance vector protocol using hop count and requires less CPU power, but can be inefficient. OSPF uses link state flooding and supports CIDR variable length subnet masks.
- Routing Information Protocol (RIP): a distance vector protocol using hop count, which broadcasts full lists of routes every 60 seconds.
- Link State Protocols: use more information than hop count and converge faster. Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is an example of a link state protocol.
- Routers can use separate or shared databases for each protocol.
- Routers can be designated as the reference router for others to synchronize their topology maps.
- Routers provide segmentation, reliability, and fast convergence.
- Hierarchies are established to organize routers. Level 2 routers talk to level 2 routers at the backbone level, and level 2 routers talk to designated level 1 routers at the area level.
- Routers may have one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-one I/Os.
- VLANs can be used to group end nodes into separate domains and create a quarantine if needed.
- Managed switches have varying features and configuration interfaces, and security and performance are being improved.
- There are other internetworking devices, such as gateways, and VPNs provide confidential, source-authenticated, and content-verified communications over public or non-secure networks.
- VPNs create a secure and virtual private network environment, and there are different technologies, such as SSL and IPsec, for building a VPN.
- PPTP, L2TP, and IPsec are popular network protocols for VPN developments, and they can be authenticated using Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol or MS-CHAP v1/v2.
