Term
Administrative Distance
Definition
is used to determine which route is to be installed in the routing table
**The route that has the lower AD will be preferred over the route with the higher AD and will be added to the routing table.
Term
Purpose of Administrative Distance (AD)
Definition
*Routers learn about adjacent networks that are directly connected and about remote networks by using static routes and dynamic routing protocols.
*A router might learn of a route to the same network from more than one source.
Term
Three types of Routing Sources.
Definition
Direct Connect
Static
Dynamic Routing Protocol
Term
trustworthy
Definition
term trustworthy is commonly used when defining administrative distance.
(The lower the administrative distance value, the more “trustworthy” the route.)
Term
Dynamic Routing Protocol
Definition
*Exchange of routing information between routers.
*Dynamically learn information about remote networks and add routes to routing tables.
*Determines the best path to each network.
*Automatically finds alternate paths if needed.
Term
Advantages of Dynamic over Static Routes:
Definition
*Less administrative overhead.
*Scales better.
*Less prone to configuration errors.
Term
Data Structures
Definition
Tables or databases for their operations, kept in RAM.
Term
Algorithm
Definition
*An algorithm is a finite list of steps used in accomplishing a task.
*Used for processing routing information and for best-path determination.
Term
Routing Protocol Messages
Definition
*Discover neighboring routers.
*Exchange, learn and maintain accurate network routing information.
Term
Distance Vector
