This course provides a detailed explanation of routing technology in relation to Cisco networks. It examines routing activities, algorithms, and protocols, and discusses the similarities and differences between the distance vector and link state protocols, which are widely used routing protocols.
Objectives:
Explain path determination
Determine the strengths of link state and distance vector protocols in differing configurations
Describe methods of increasing stability of link state and distance vector protocols
Describe the goals of routing protocols
List routing protocols and path determination
Describe convergence as impacted by different protocols
Explain the similarities and differences between several types of routing protocols
Topics:
Routing Algorithms and Protocols
Routing Protocol Goals
Routing Protocol Types
