7.introduction To Routing Protocols

The document provides an overview of routing protocols and routers, explaining their roles in connecting networks and routing data. It details various types of routers, routing protocols (such as IGRP, RIP, OSPF), and routing methods including default, static, and dynamic routing. Additionally, it highlights the differences between distance vector, link state, and hybrid routing protocols, along with specific characteristics of protocols like RIP and EIGRP.

Introduction to

ROUTING PROTOCOLS
Routers : Routers are used to connect networks
together and route packets of data from one network to
another providing best available path for transmission.

Protocols : Protocols are set of rules that govern data


communications. It represents an agreement between the
communicating devices. Without a protocol, two devices
may be connected but not communicating.
Types of Routers
• Core Layer
• Distribution Layer
• Access Layer
• Fixed : 2500
Series(2503,2509)
• Modular : 2600
Series(2620)
Study of Router

Routing Protocols : Protocols that defines
algorithms to be used for updating routing tables
between routers.

Examples : IGRP, RIP, OSPF


Routed Protocols : Routed protocols are used
to transmit user data through an internetwork.

Examples : SPX(Sequence packet exchange),


IPX(Internet packet exchange)
Routed protocols travels with the data.
A routing protocol defines the set of rules used by a
router when it communicates routing information
between neighbour routers.
Default Routing

Use for only stub networks. (i.e., with only one
exit path.)

It is easy to implement.

Can be implemented on cheap router.

Not much changes in configuration for small
change in network.
Static Routing


Manually add routes in router's routing table.

Secure

Administrator should have knowledge how router
is connected in order to configure routes
correctly.

Can be applied to cheap routers.
Dynamic Routing


Dynamic Routing Finds Network and Update.

Works based on CPU processes.

Types: Distance Vector
Link State
Hybrid
Distance Vector

Creates Best Path by judging the Distance.

Example : RIP(Routing Information Protocol),
IGRP(Interior Gateway Routing Protocol)

Send entire Routing table to directly connected
neighbours.
Link State

Shortest Path first

Uses 3 separate tables.
(1) Track of directly attached neighbours
(2) Topology of entire network
(3) Routing Table

Example : OSPF(Open Shortest Path First )
Hybrid


Use aspects of both distance vector and
link state.

Example : EIGRP (Enhanced Interior
Gateway Routing Protocol )
RIP V1:(Routing Information Protocol)

Public Protocol

Classfull i.e.,No Subnetting/VLSM/IPv6

Max Hop Count 15

Update Time 30 sec

Administrative Distance 120
RIP V2:

Classless

public
IGRP:(Interior Gateway Routing Protocol)

Autonomous Number

Update Time 90 sec

Administrative Distance 100

Max Hop Count 255

Cisco
OSPF:(Open Shortest path First)

Hop count limit : None

Public
EIGRP:

Protocol was designed by Cisco Systems as a proprietary protocol, available only
on Cisco routers.
