Objectives
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
Explain several differences between DV routing and link-state routing Describe a key disadvantage of DV routing Explain the difference between an interior gateway protocol and an exterior gateway protocol Explain how a flat network is different from a hierarchical network Describe how routing information is distributed differently in flat and hierarchical networks Name the routing table algorithms most commonly used in each type of network Describe how RIP works Identify the key advantages and disadvantages of RIP Explain the difference between RIP versions 1 and 2 Describe the problems RIP can cause in large networks Explain how OSPF solves RIP s large-network problems Define these terms in your own words:Shortest Path Tree, Hello protocol, neighbors, and adjacencies Explain how routing areas work, and describe the roles of the
