Building a Network
To Be Reliable provide error detection and ability to correct errors To Provide Connectivity incorporate a variety of hardware & software products so they can function together To Be Easy To Use users need to have no concern for the networks structure and implementation To Be Easy To Modify allow itself to evolve and adapt as needs change Be Easy To Implement must follow industry standards and allow a variety of configurations
Path Determination
Usually the responsibility of the router
Path Determination
Enables a router to evaluate the available paths to a destination and establish best path for the packet Most routing protocols use simply use the shortest and best path Analogy Packet routing is like driving a car: Routers through the use of protocols make path decisions based on routing tables, and people driving cars determine their paths by reading road signs
Metrics
Routing tables must be updated and accurate Each routing protocol interprets the best path in its own way Protocol generates a value, METRIC, for each path through the network Smaller the metric the better the path Metrics differ depending on the protocol being used

Routing Protocols
ROUTED protocols moved over a network
TCP/IP IPX AppleTalk ROUTING protocols route routed protocols through a network
IGRP EIGRP OSPF BGP OSI routing Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking(APPN) Intermediate Systemto-Intermediate System(IS-IS) RIP
Routers (intermediate systems) use routing protocols to talk to each other about networks and paths
Multi-Protocol Routing
Routers are capable of supporting multiple independent routing protocols
Allows routers to deliver packets from several routed protocols over the same data links
TCP/IP IPX Apple Talk
IGRP RIP
Routing Protocols
Interior Protocols
Used for routing information within networks that are under a common administration All IP interior protocols must be specified with a list of associated networks before routing can occur CISCO supports RIP and IGRP
Exterior Protocols
Used to exchange information between networks Require the following before routing can begin
Robustness
Flexibility
Quickly and accurately adapt to a variety of network circumstances
Routing Loops
Packet continues to bounce back and forth between to devices until:
Device is updated Packet is switched the maximum number of times allowed
IP Routing Configuration
Any routing protocol must follow two steps:
Create routing process with one of the router commands Configure the protocol specifics
Interior routing protocols also must have a list of networks specified before routing begins IGRP requires an AS (Autonomous System) number
IP Routing Configuration
Choosing a routing protocol consider the following:
Network size and complexity Network traffic levels Security needs Reliability needs Network delay characteristics Organizational policies Organizational acceptance of change
IGRP Overview
IGRP Metrics
CISCO proprietary developed to supercede RIP Distance vector interior routing protocol Uses a combination of metrics Network delay, bandwidth, reliability and load all factored into the routing decision
IGRP Continued
Provides a wide range for its metrics For example
Default values related to weightings for IGRP give the most importance to bandwidth makes IGRP superior to RIP Contrast with RIP(does not weigh metrics) it only uses one
Reliability value between 1 and 255 Bandwidth values reflecting speeds from 1200 bps to 10 Gbps Delay value from 1 to 224
Distance-Vector Routing
IGRP Operation
Goal of IGRP was create a robust protocol for routing within an AS IGRP uses a combination of userconfigurable metrics IGRP advertises three types of routes:
Interior System Exterior
Autonomous Systems
