3.1.1 / What are the four routing protocols that are the focus of this course?
3.1.1.2 / What are routing protocols?
What is one of the primary benefits of using a dynamic routing protocol?
Do dynamic routing protocols require more or less administrative overhead as compared to static routing?
What is he expense of using dynamic routing protocols?
3.1.2.1 / A set of processes, algorithms, and messages that are used to exchange routing information and populate the routing table with the routing protocol's choice of best paths is the definition of what networking process?
What are the purposes of a routing protocol?
List and define the three components of routing protocols?
What are the four general operations of a dynamic routing protocol?
3.1.3.1 / What are the primary uses for static routing?
What are the advantages of static routing?
What are disadvantages of static routing?
What are the advantages of dynamic routing?
What are the disadvantages of dynamic routing?
3.2.1 / What are the distance vector protocols?
What are the link state protocols?
What is the exterior routing protocol listed?
3.2.2 / What is an Autonomous System?
What is another name for an Autonomous System?
What are Interior Gateway Protocols used for?
What are Exterior Gateway Protocols used for?
3.2.3 / What are the two classifications of IGP’s?
What is a vector?
Define distance and direction.
Where does a distance vector router receive its information from?
Do distance vector protocols have a map of the entire network?
Where do distance vector protocols work best?
3.2.3.2 / What can a link-state router do that a link state router can not?
Define converged.
When are updates sent in a link-state network?
What are the best situations to use a link-state protocol?
3.2.4 / What do classful routing protocols not send in their updates?
What is the situation where you can not use a classful routing protocol?
What are the two classful routing protocols?
What do classless routing protocols include in their updates?
What are the classless routing protocols?
3.2.5 / Define convergence?
What is convergence time?
Which 2 protocols are slow to converge?
Which 2 protocols are faster to converge?
3.3.1 / What is a metric?
What is the metric used for?
What is the metric for RIP?
What is the metric for EIGRP?
What is the metric for OSPF?
What does hop count refer to?
3.3.2 / Can metrics from one routing protocol be compared to another routing protocol’s metric?
List and define the possible metrics to choose from?
3.3.2.2 / List and explain each routing protocol and the metric it uses.
In the show ip route display where is the metric listed?
3.3.3 / What is the process used to forward packets when 2 or more paths have equal costs?
Where can you look to determine if load balancing is being used?
3.4.1 / What are the possible values for Administrative Distance?
What is the best value for administrative distance?
What type of route has the lowest possible administrative distance?
What does an administrative distance of 255 mean?
3.4.1.2 / Where can you find the administrative distance in the show ip route output?
How does a router choose the best path if two routing protocols are being used?
What are the two commands in which you can determine what the administrative distance is?
3.4.3 / What is the administrative distance for a static route?
If you configure a route to a destination also learned by a dynamic routing protocol, what would you set the administrative distance to?
What command can be issued to see the AD of a specific route?
3.4.4 / Can you change the AD of a directly connected route?
What command can be issued to see the AD of a directly connected route?
3.5.1 / This is excellent practice for the exam. These are easy questions to right and if you practice they are easy to answer.
