    - The routing table output shows routing information for several networks, including directly connected and static routes. It lists the codes, masks, and interfaces used for each route. - Administrative distance represents the trustworthiness of a route, with lower values preferred. Metric indicates the best path, with lowest metric preferred. - Dynamic routing protocols like OSPF would be more efficient than static routes for a growing medium-sized company using a mixture of Cisco and non-Cisco routers, as OSPF allows routers to share information automatically.

    TUTORIAL 3
    A. Introduction To Dynamic Routing Protocols

    1. Explain the routing information in the routing table below:

    Router_Cisco#show ip route

    Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP

    D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area

    N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2

    E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP i -

    IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, ia - IS-IS inter area

    * - candidate default, U - per-user static route, o - ODR

    P - periodic downloaded static route

    Gateway of last resort is not set

    172.1.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 5 subnets, 3 masks

    C 172.1.0.0/16 is directly connected, Serial0/1/0

    172.2.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks

    C 172.2.0.0/16 is directly connected, Serial0/1/1

    S 172.2.3.0/24 [1/0] via 172.1.3.1

    172.3.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks

    C 172.3.0.0/16 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0


    - Network 172.1.0.0 / 16, have 5 subnets and 3 different masks
    Network 172.1.0.0/16 is directly connected via port Serial0/1/0 Router_Cisco.
    - Network 172.2.0.0/16 is variably subnetted with 2 subnets and 2 different masks
    Network 172.2.0.0/16 is directly connected via port Serial0/1/1 Router_Cisco.
    - One static route configured for network 172.2.3.0/24 through ip 172.1.3.1 with AD value of 1 and
    metric 0.
    - Network 172.3.0.0/16 is variably subnetted with 2 subnets and 2 different masks

    Network 172.3.0.0/16 is directly connected via port


    FastEthernet0/0 Router_Cisco.

    2. Describe the concepts of administrative distance and metric?

    • An administrative distance refers to the trustworthiness of a particular route.


    • A router first installs routes with higher administrative distances.
    • Routes with the smallest metric to a destination indicate the best path.

    3. Which command would the network administrator issue to determine if load balancing is in effect on a router?

    show ip route

    4. What are two conditions would create a setting where the use of a distance-vector routing protocol would be
    efficient?

    • The network is using a hub and spoke topology.


    • The network is using a flat design.

    5. What is the purpose of a routing protocol?

    It allows a router to share information about known networks with other routers.

    6. What is associated with link-state routing protocols?

    Shortest-path first calculations.


    7. The following line of code is displayed in a routing table:

    R 209.165.201.0/24 [120/2] via 192.168.252.2, 00:00:16, S0/0/0

    What can be concluded from this output?

    The value, 120, is used to determine the best path when a router has more than one routing protocol configured for the
    same destination network.

    8. The following line of code is present in the routing table:


    O 10.16.1.0/27 [110/129] via 192.168.1.5, 00:00:05, Serial0/0/1

    What does the number 129 indicate in this output?

    The cost for this link has a value of 129.

    9. A growing medium-sized manufacturing company recently began to have routing instability issues. The
    company uses static routes and has a mixture of over 30 Cisco and non-Cisco routers. The network administrator has
    decided to convert the network to dynamic routing. What characteristics of protocols should be considered in this
    selection process?

    OSPF can be used between the routers.

    10. A router learns two paths with equal metrics to a destination network via the RIP routing protocol. How will
    the router handle packets to the destination network?

    The router will install both routes in the routing table and load balance between the two.

    B. Distance Vector Routing Protocols


    1. Explain the features of Routing Information Protocol (RIP). RIP features

    1. A classful, Distance Vector (DV) routing protocol.


    2. Hop count.
    3. Routes with a hop count > 15 are unreachable.
    4. Updates are broadcast every 30 seconds.
    2. Explain the features of Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) routing. EIGRP features

    1. A classless, Distance vector routing protocol.


    2. Metrics used by EIGRP.
    3. Automatically summarize routes at classful boundaries.

    3. What does a router running RIP do first with a new route that is received from an advertisement?
    The router adjusts the metric for the new route to show the added distance for the route.

    4. What is the method that split horizon use to reduce incorrect routing information?
    Information learned from one source is not distributed back to that source.

    5. A network administrator is evaluating RIP versus EIGRP for a new network. The network will be sensitive to
    congestion and must respond quickly to topology changes. What are two good reasons to choose EIGRP instead of
    RIP in this case?
    • EIGRP only updates affected neighbors.
    • EIGRP updates are partial.

    6. List two conditions are most likely to cause a routing loop?


    1. Inconsistent routing tables.
    2. Incorrectly configured static routes.

    7. What does the RIP holddown timer do?


    It instructs routers to ignore updates, for a specified time or event, about possible inaccessible routes.

    8. What is a routing loop?


    A condition where a packet is constantly transmitted within a series of routers without ever reaching its intended
    destination.

    9. List three routing protocols are distance vector routing protocols?


    1. RIPv1
    2. EIGRP
    3. RIPv2

    10. What is the purpose of the TTL field in the IP header?


    It limits the time or hops that a packet can traverse through the network before it should be discarded.
