Term
Distance-vector Routing Protocol
Definition
It requires that a router informs its NEIGHBORS of topology changes periodically.
Term
Link-state Protocol & it's characteristics
Definition
It requires a router to inform all the NODES in a network of topology changes.It maintains a full database of distant routers & how they interconnect.
1)Routing Table
2)Link-state Advertisement (LSA)
3)Topology Database
4)Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm
Term
Node (Networking)
Definition
A device such as a computer, router or switch attached to a computer or telecommunications network. Or a point in a network topology where lines intersect.
Term
RIP & it's characteristics
Definition
Routing Information Protocol
Distance-vector routing standard that uses hop count as a routing matrix.Defines a hop count greater than 15 as an unreachable route. Sends routing table every 30 seconds.
Term
Static Route
Definition
Is manually configured by the net admin. and doesn't change until the admin. reconfigures it. These routes are identified in the routing table with the prefix S
Term
Dynamic Route
Definition
Automatically created & maintained by routing protocols. Routing protocols exchange routing info with other routers. They are identified in the routing table with the prefix that corresponds to the type of routing protocol that created the route. Example, R is used for protocol RIP.
Term
Default Route
Definition
A type of static route that specifies the gateway to use when the routing table does not contain a path for the destination network. It's common for it to be the next router in the path to the ISP. If subnet only has 1 router that router is automatically the the default gateway. (Gateway of last resort)
Term
What is the term used when all the routers in a network have updated their tables to reflect the new route?
Definition
The routers are said to have "Converged".
Term
Distance
Definition
Metric or Route Cost
Term
Vector
Definition
Direction
Term
IGP
Definition
Interior Gateway Protocol
Term
EGP
Definition
Exterior Gateway Protocol
Term
AS
Definition
Autonomous System - a collection of routers under a common admin that presents a common clearly defined routing policy to the Internet. Ex. large company's internal network & an ISP's network.
Term
What are the two types of routing protocols for the Internet?
Definition
IGP & EGP
Term
Triggered Updates
Definition
Updates that are sent out after there has been a change to the network. These are sent independently of regularly scheduled updates.
Term
EIGRP & it's characteristics
Definition
Cisco-proprietary, enhanced distance vector routing protocol. Uses a variety of metrics to total the cost of a route. Combines next hop & metric with additional database & update features. Has max hop count of 224 hops.
Term
Name the two database tables used by EIGRP
Definition
Neighbor Table & Topology Table
Term
DUAL
Definition
Diffused Update Algorithm - used in EIGRP & provides loop-free operation. Allows routers in a topology change to synchronize at the same time while not involving routers that are unaffected.
Term
LSA
Definition
Link-state Advertisement. Small packet of routing info that is sent between routers & describes the state of the links of a router & other info such as IP address of each link.
Term
Topological Database
Definition
Collection of information gathered from all the LSAs received by the router.
Term
SPF
Definition
Shortest Path First - Calculation from database info that results in the SPF tree. This info is used to build the routing table.
Term
OSPF
Definition
Open Shortest Path First - is a non-proprietary, link-state routing protocol described in RFC 2328.
Term
OSPF Characteristics
Definition
1)Uses SPF Algorithm to calculate the lowest cost to destination
2)Sends routing updates (LSAs) ONLY when topology changes(no periodic)
3)Provides fast convergence
4)Supports Variable Length Subnet Mask & discontiguous subnets
5)Provides route authentication
Term
What are the Metrics used in IP routing protocols?
Definition
Hop Count
Bandwidth
Load
Delay
Reliability
Cost
Term
AD
Definition
Administrative Distance - The trustworthiness of a route. The lower the AD the more stable the route.
Term
True or False
You can have multiple routing protocols on a network.
Definition
TRUE
Term
True or False
Small networks with only one gateway to the Internet can't use static routes.
Definition
False
Term
True or False
RIP is a good choice for a network with 17 routers
Definition
False
Term
What are the 4 main criteria to consider when choosing a routing protocol?
Definition
Ease of management
Ease of configuration
Efficiency
Size of organization
Term
What are the 3 commands to remember for basic RIPv2 configuring?
Definition
Router(config)#router rip
Router(config)#version 2
Router(config)#network [network_number]
Term
show ip protocols command when using RIP
Definition
Verifies that RIP routing is configured, that the correct interfaces are sending & receiving RIP updates, & that router is advertising the correct networks.
Term
show ip route command when using RIP
Definition
Shows routing table which verifies that the routes received by RIP neighbors are installed in the routing table.
Term
debug ip rip command
Definition
Can be used to watch the nets advertised in the routing updates as they are sent & received. Debug commands display router activity in real time.
Term
AS
Definition
Autonomous Systems -Group of networks under a common administration sharing a common routing strategy.Autonomous systems are subdivided by areas. An autonomous system must be assigned a unique 16-bit number by IANA. AS systems help make up the Internet.
Term
ASN
Definition
Autonomous System Number - A unique identifier for the AS networks. The same ASN applies to all network devices within the AS routing domain.
Term
IGPs
Definition
Interior Gateway Protocols - used to exchange routing info within an AS or individual organization. It helps find the best path through the internal network. IGPs run on routers inside an org. Examples are RIP, EIGRP, & OSPF
Term
EGPs
Definition
Exterior Gateway Protocols - are designed to exchange route info between different AS. They serve as translators for ensuring that external route info gets successfully interpreted inside each AS network. They run on exterior routers.
Term
Border Gateways or Boundary Routers
Definition
Exterior Routers
Term
BGP
Definition
Border Gateway Protocol - The most common exterior routing protocol on the Internet today.
Term
On the Internet what is Local Traffic?
Definition
Traffic that is carried within an AS that either originated in that same AS, or is intended to be delivered within that AS.
Term
On the Internet what is Transit Traffic?
Definition
Traffic that was generated outside an AS and can travel through the internal AS network to be delivered to destinations outside the AS.
Term
What commands are used to enable BGP?
Definition

C1>enable

C1#config t

C1(cinfig)#router brp [as number]

Term
MTBF
Definition

Term
99.999% is called?
Definition

Term
SYN
Definition
Synchronization Message - It indicates the intention of the TCP source host to establish a connection with the destination host to send data. It synchronizes the TCP sequence numbers between the two hosts, so they can keep track of the segments sent & received.

Term
ACK
