Routing and Routing Protocols

 This Week . . .
• Introduction to static routing
• Dynamic routing overview
• Routing protocols overview
Static Versus Dynamic Routes
Why Use a Static Route?
The ip route Command
Static Routes
The ip default-network Command
 Verifying a Static Route
• The command show
running-config is used to
view the active
configuration in NVRAM
to verify that the static
route was entered
correctly.
 Troubleshooting Static Routes
• The show interfaces command
• The ping command
• The traceroute command

 Routing Protocols
• RIP — A distance vector interior routing protocol
• IGRP — The Cisco distance vector interior routing
protocol
• OSPF — A link-state interior routing protocol
• EIGRP — The Cisco advanced hybrid interior routing
protocol
• BGP — A distance vector exterior routing protocol
 Summary
• Routing can be static or dynamic
• Static is best for bandwidth utilisation and
processor loading
• Dynamic good for changing networks
• Link State and Distance Vector exist
• Distance Vector e.g. RIP
• Link State e.g. OSPF
