 What is Routing?

To route a router need to know:

– Remote Networks
– Neighbor Routers
– All Possible routes to remote network
– The absolute best route to all remote
networks
– Maintain and verify the routing information

What interface will the router send out a packet

if it has destination address of 10.10.10.18?

 Routing vs. Routed
• Routing protocols are used between
routers to:
– Determine the path of a packet through a network
– Maintain routing tables
– Examples?

• Routed protocols are:

– Assigned to an interface
– Once the path is determined by the Routing
protocol, determines method of delivery
– Examples?
 Routing Protocols

IGPs: RIP, IGRP EGPs: BGP

Autonomous System 1 Autonomous System 2

• An autonomous system is a collection of
networks under a common administrative
domain.
• IGPs operate within an autonomous system.
• EGPs connect different autonomous systems.
 Classful Routing Overview

Classful routing protocols do not

include the subnet mask with
the route advertisement.
– Within the same network, consistency of the
subnet masks is assumed.
– Summary routes are exchanged between
foreign networks.
– Examples of classful routing protocols:
• RIP Version 1 (RIPv1)
• IGRP
Classless Routing Overview
Classless routing protocols
include the subnet mask with
the route advertisement.
– Classless routing protocols support
variable-length subnet masking (VLSM).
– Summary routes can be manually
controlled within the network.
– Examples of classless routing protocols:
• RIP Version 2 (RIPv2)
• EIGRP
• OSPF
• IS-IS
Administrative Distance

Distance vector algorithms do not allow a router to know the

exact topology of an internetwork.

All routers just broadcast their entire routing table out all active
interfaces on periodic time intervals

 RIP Overview

64kbps

T1 T1

T1

– Hop count metric selects the path, 16 is unreachable

– Full route table broadcast every 30 seconds
– Load balance maximum of 6 equal cost paths (default = 4)
– RIPv2 supports VLSM and Discontiguous networks
 RIP Routing Configuration

Router(config)#router rip

Router(config-router)#network network-number*
10.3.5.0 172.16.10.0 192.168.10.0

router RIP router RIP

network 172.16.0.0 network 172.16.0.0
network 10.0.0.0 network 192.168.10.0

*Network is a classful network address.

Every device on network uses the same subnet mask
RIP Routing Example 2
 RIP Version 2
• Allows the use of variable length subnet
masks (VLSM) by sending subnet mask
information with each route update
• Distance Vector – same AD, and timers.
• Easy configuration, just add the
command “version 2” under the router
rip configuration

router rip
network 10.0.0.0
version 2
 Discontiguous Addressing

• Two networks of the same classful networks

are separated by a different network address

192.168.10.0/24 192.168.10.0/24

10.1.1.0/24

– RIPv1 and IGRP do not advertise subnet masks, and therefore

cannot support discontiguous subnets.
– OSPF, EIGRP, and RIPv2 can advertise subnet masks, and
therefore can support discontiguous subnets.
