Summary
An understanding of the following key points should have been achieved:
  • A router will not forward a packet without a route to a destination network.
  • Network administrators manually configure static routes.
  • Default routes are special static routes that provide routers with gateways of last resort.
  • Static and default routes are configured using the ip route command.
  • Static and default route configuration can be verified using the show ip route, ping, and traceroute commands.
  • Verify and troubleshoot static and default routes
  • Routing protocols
  • Autonomous systems
  • Purpose of routing protocols and autonomous systems
  • The classes of routing protocols
  • Distance vector routing protocol features and examples
  • Link-state protocol features and examples
  • Route determination
  • Routing configuration
  • Routing protocols (RIP, IGRP, OSPF, EIGRP, BGP)
  • Autonomous systems and IGP versus EGP
  • Distance vector routing
  • Link-state routing
