| Terms you'll need to understand: -
Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) -
Default route -
Dynamic route -
Distance vector routing protocol -
IP forwarding -
Link-state routing protocol -
Router Discovery Protocol (RDISC) -
Router Information Protocol (RIP) -
Route table -
Static route Concepts you'll need to master: -
Explain the purpose and usage of routing types (direct and indirect), routing schemes (static and dynamic), and routing protocol types (autonomous systems, interior routing protocols, and exterior routing protocols). -
Given a routing table example, describe table entries, identify the routing table search order, and associate a network name to a network number. -
Explain how to configure static and dynamic routing, and the configuration of routing at boot time. -
Describe the operation of CIDR. -
Given a routing scenario problem, troubleshoot the router configuration and/or network names and select a resolution. Routing is fundamental to any TCP/IP network because it provides the facility to forward IP datagrams to hosts on a different network. When networks are connected together, there must be a mechanism to route data packets to the other networks. Routing accomplishes this. Routing occurs at the Internet layer of the TCP/IP model. |
