Routers Determine the Best Path • The primary responsibility of a router is to direct packets destined for local and remote networks by: – Determining the best path to send packets. – Forwarding packets toward their destination.

Evolution of Routers
• Multiprotocol devices providing pure data delivery with
minimal access control and QoS. • Intelligent Network Services, this allowed us to provide security capabilities like integrated firewall and encryption. • Integrated voice and data capabilities, allowing routers to provide voice gateway features for IP telephony. • Today the router is an integrated platform for providing advanced services in security, content delivery, and voice.

Router Components • Router components and their functions” CPU - Executes operating system instructions Random access memory (RAM) - Contains the running copy of configuration file. Stores routing table. RAM contents lost when power is off Read-only memory (ROM) - Holds diagnostic software used when router is powered up. Stores the router’s bootstrap program. Non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) - Stores startup configuration. This may include IP addresses (Routing protocol, Hostname of router) Flash memory - Contains the operating system (Cisco IOS) Interfaces - There exist multiple physical interfaces that are used to connect network. Examples of interface types: • Ethernet / fast Ethernet interfaces • Serial interfaces • Management interfaces

Router Interfaces • Router Interface is a physical connector that enables a router to send or receive packets • Each interface connects to a separate network • Consist of socket or jack found on the outside of a router • Types of router interfaces: Fixed: Fastethernet Modular: • Serial • DSL • ISDN • Fastethernet

Router Interfaces
• Two major groups of Router Interfaces
– LAN Interfaces: Are used to connect router to LAN network Has a layer 2 MAC address Can be assigned a Layer 3 IP address Usually consist of an RJ-45 jack • WAN Interfaces Are used to connect routers to external networks that interconnect LANs. Depending on the WAN technology, a layer 2 address may be used. Uses a layer 3 IP address

Routers and the Network Layer
• The main purpose of a router is to connect multiple networks and
forward packets destined either for its own networks or other networks. • A router is considered a Layer 3 device because its primary forwarding decision is based on the information in the Layer 3 IP packet, specifically the destination IP address. This process is known as routing.

Implementing Basic Addressing Schemes
• At a minimum, the documentation should include a topology diagram
that indicates the physical connectivity and an addressing table that lists all of the following information: – Device names. – Interfaces used in the design. – IP addresses and subnet masks. – Default gateway addresses for end devices, such as PCs.

Basic Router Configuration • Verifying Basic Router Configuration – Issue the show running-config command – Save the basic router configuration by Issuing the copy running-config startup-config command – Additional commands that will enable you to further verify router configuration are: Show running-config - Displays configuration currently in RAM Show startup-config - Displays configuration file NVRAM Show IP route - Displays routing table Show interfaces - Displays all interface configurations Show IP int brief - Displays abbreviated interface configuration information

Introducing the Routing Table
• Routing Table is stored in ram and contains information about:
Directly connected networks - this occurs when a device is connected to another router interface Remotely connected networks - this is a network that is not directly connected to a particular router Detailed information about the networks include source of information, Network address & subnet mask, and Ip address of next-hop router • Show ip route command is used to view a routing table
Học viện mạng Bach Khoa - Website: www.bkacad.com 26
Introducing the Routing Table • The following analogies may help clarify the concept of connected, static, and dynamic routes: – Directly Connected Routes. – Static Routes. – Dynamic Routes.
Học viện mạng Bach Khoa - Website: www.bkacad.com 27
Adding a Connected Network to the Routing Table
• Once the interface is "up“ and “have an ip address”, the network
of that interface is added to the routing table as a directly connected network.
Học viện mạng Bach Khoa - Website: www.bkacad.com 28
Static Routing • Static routes in the routing table – Includes: network address and subnet mask and IP address of next hop router or exit interface. – Denoted with the code S in the routing table. – Routing tables must contain directly connected networks used to connect remote networks before static or dynamic routing can be used. • When to use static routes – When network only consists of a few routers. – Network is connected to internet only through one ISP. – Hub & spoke topology is used on a large network.

Static Routing

Dynamic Routing
• Dynamic routing protocols are used by routers to share information
about the reachability and status of remote networks. Dynamic routing protocols perform several activities, including: – Network discovery. – Updating and maintaining routing tables.

Routing Table Principles • Routing Table Principles – 3 principles regarding routing tables: Every router makes its decisions alone, based on the information it has in its routing table. One router’s information in the routing table may not be the same as another router’s routing table. Routing information about a path to a network does not provide information on how to return to the original network.

Packet Fields and Frame Fields • Internet Protocol (IP) packet format contains fields that provide information about the packet and the sending and receiving hosts • Fields that are importance for CCNA students: – Destination IP address. – Source IP address. – Version & TTL. – IP header length. – Precedence & type of service. – Packet length.
Học viện mạng Bach Khoa - Website: www.bkacad.com 38
Packet Fields and Frame Fields
• MAC Layer Frame Format
• MAC Frames are also divided into fields. They include: – Preamble – Start of frame delimiter – Destination MAC address – Source MAC address – Type/length – Data and pad – Frame check sequence
Học viện mạng Bach Khoa - Website: www.bkacad.com 39
Best Path and Metric
• A Metric is a numerical value used by routing protocols to assess a
given route • Metrics may be based on a single path variable or multiple variables of a path • 2 types of metrics used by routing protocols are: – Hop count - this is the number of routers a packet must travel through to get to its destination. – Bandwidth - this is the “speed” of a link also known as the data capacity of a link.
Học viện mạng Bach Khoa - Website: www.bkacad.com 40
Router Paths and Packet Switching • Equal cost metric is a condition where a router has multiple paths to the same destination that all have the same metric • To solve this dilemma, a router will use Equal Cost Load Balancing. This means the router sends packets over the multiple exit interfaces listed in the routing table. • Equal Cost Paths and Unequal Cost Paths: a router can send packets over multiple networks even when the metric is not the same if it is using a routing protocol that has this capability.
Học viện mạng Bach Khoa - Website: www.bkacad.com 41
Path Determination • Path determination enables a router to evaluate paths to a destination & to establish the preferred way to handle the packet. • One of 3 things happens when a router searches a routing table to find a route to destination – Next hop determined. – Exit interface determined. – No route determined.
Học viện mạng Bach Khoa - Website: www.bkacad.com 42
Switching Function • Switching Function of Router is the process used by a router to switch a packet from an incoming interface to an outgoing interface on the same router. – A packet received by a router will do the following: Strips off layer 2 headers. Examines destination IP address located in Layer 3 header to find best route to destination. Re-encapsulates layer 3 packet into layer 2 frame. Forwards frame out exit interface.
