Module 6: Routing and Routing Protocols / Overview

Module 6: Routing and Routing Protocols
Overview

Routing is a set of directions to get from one network to another. These directions, also known as routes, can be dynamically given to the router by another router, or they can be statically assigned to the router by an administrator.
This module introduces the concept of dynamic routing protocols, describes the classes of dynamic routing protocols, and gives examples of protocols in each class.
A network administrator chooses a dynamic routing protocol based upon many considerations. These include the size of the network, the bandwidth of available links, the processing power of the routers, the brands and models of the routers, and the protocols that are used in the network. This module will provide more details about the differences between routing protocols that help network administrators make a choice.
This module covers some of the objectives for the CCNA 640-801, INTRO 640-821, and ICND 640-811 exams. -
Students who complete this module should be able to perform the following tasks:
  • Explain the significance of static routing
  • Configure static and default routes
  • Verify and troubleshoot static and default routes
  • Identify the classes of routing protocols
  • Identify distance vector routing protocols
  • Identify link-state routing protocols
  • Describe the basic characteristics of common routing protocols
  • Identify interior gateway protocols
  • Identify exterior gateway protocols
Enable Routing Information Protocol (RIP) on a router
