25
What is RIP?
"Routing Information Protocol" IGP Distance Vector Protocol that uses hop count (counts up to 15 hops: 16 is infinite) - Updates every 30s - Easy config - Runs over UDP
26
what is OSPF?
"Open Shortest Path First" IGP Link state protocol that uses cost
27
What is IS-IS?
"Intermediate system to Intermediate system?" IGP Link-state protocol that uses cost and functions like OSPF but not widely adopted.
28
What is EIGRP?
"Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol" IGP Hybrid protocol (link-state + Distance vector) that uses bandwidth and delay - Proprietary Cisco Protocol
29
What is BGP?
"Border Gateway Protocol" EGP that uses a path vector that uses the number of autonomous system hops instead of router hops - more concerned with how many systems that are passed through not individual routers. - Backbone of the internet - widespread utilization - slow convergence
30
What does the Believability of a route refer too?
The overall Trustworthiness of a route based on an AD value
31
what is Administrative Distance (AD)?
Index of believability contained within a router that judges a path's trustworthiness
32
T/F Lower AD is considered more trustworthy
True
33
What are some metrics evaluated in route selection?
- Hop-count - Delay - Believability - Reliability - Bandwidth - Costs
34
What are the 3 main Network Address Translation types?
- DNAT - SNAT - PAT
35
What does Network Address Translation (NAT) do ?
Translates your private IP into a Public IP that is routable over public networks
36
What is DNAT?
"Dynamic NAT" Automatically assigns an IP address from a pool and gives a 1-to-1 translation
37
What is SNAT?
"Static NAT" Manually assigns an IP address and gives a 1-to-1 translation
38
what is PAT?
"Port Address Translation" Sharing of one Public IP by multiple Private IP addresses which gives many-to-1 translation
39
What is Inside Local?
Private IP Address for internal device
40
What is Inside Global?
Public IP address for internal device
41
What is Outside Local?
Private IP address for an Outside device
42
What is Outside Global?
Public IP address for an outside device
43
What does a Routing Redundancy Protocol do?
Network Protocol that prevents disruptions in communication by automatically rerouting data traffic in case of a path or device failure.
44
What is FHRP?
"First Hop Redundancy Protocol" Set of protocols designed to ensure network reliability by providing automatic failover to a backup router to maintain uninterrupted network service.
45
Reliability
Ensures that communications remain up and running even if a single router configuration fails
46
Load Balancing
Distributes traffic across multiple routers to prevent any single device from being overwhelmed
47
Seamless Transitions
Sends data from a failed router to redirect to a standby router
48
What 2 key components make the FHRP work?
- Virtual IP - Sub Interface
49
What is Virtual IP?
IP address that serves as a representative for one or more devices
50
What is a Sub interface?
Allows a single physical interface on a router or a switch to be subdivided into multiple logical interfaces.
51
Why are Sub interfaces useful?
Cost-efficient and allows us to segment and manage networks without the need for additional physical hardware.
52
what are the 3 FHRP protocols?
- Hot Standby Router Protocol - Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol - Gateway Load Balancing Protocol
53
what is HSRP?
"Hot Standby Router Protocol" Developed by Cisco and can establish a fault-tolerant default gateway for devices on a local network segment
54
How does HSRP work?
Allows 2 routers to function together as a single virtual router. sharing a single IP and Mac Address One router is elected as the Active router which handles all routing duties. Another router is designed as the standby router, which kicks in whenever the active router fails.
55
What is Preempting?
Feature in HSRP where a higher priority router takes over as the active router if it comes online after the initial election
56
What is VRRP?
"Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol" Standard Protocol that functions similarly to the HSRP with some differences - Open Standard - Multiple Routers Config - Simple, automatic election scheme
57
What is GLBP?
"Gateway Load Balancing Protocol" Cisco Redundancy protocol that adds load balancing functionalities - Multiple router config - Configured routers can forward packets simultaneously
58
What is Multicast Routing?
Multi Cast sender sends traffic to a Class D IP address known as a multicast group.
59
What is IGMP?
"internet Group Management Protocol" helps routers determine which hosts on a network are interested in receiving multicast traffic, optimizing bandwidth usage and preventing unnecessary network flooding
60
What are the 2 main multicast routing protocols?
- Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) - Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM)
61
How many Versions of IGMP are there?
3
62
IGMPv1
Client that join the group are asked if it wants to remain in it every 60 seconds
63
IGMPv2
Clients can send a leave message to exit Multicast group
64
IGMPv3
Client can request multicast from a specific server and allows source-specific Multicast (SSM) & multiple video streams to a single multicast stream
65
What is PIM?
"Protocol Independent Multicast" Routes Multicast traffic between routers and forms a multicast distribution tree
66
What are the 2 modes in PIM?
- Dense Mode (PIM-DM) - Sparse Mode (PIM-SM)
67
PIM Dense Mode (PIM-DM)
a multicast routing protocol that operates under a "flood-and-prune" principle
68
How does PIM-DM work?
Flooding: PIM-DM initially floods multicast traffic to all network segments, meaning it sends the data to every interface. Pruning: Routers along the path determine if a specific segment needs the multicast data. If not, they send a "prune" message to stop receiving the traffic, preventing unnecessary network congestion.
69
PIM Sparse Mode (PIM-SM)
Uses a shared distribution tree and creates an optimal distribution tree through shortest path tree (SPT) switchover
70
what is GRE?
"Generic Routing Encapsulation" L3 Tunneling Protocol used to encapsulate a wide variety of network layer protocols inside virtual point-to-point links over an internet protocol network Acts as a universal translator that allows different protocols to communicate and traverse over a network.
