General information
- Credits
- 3 cr
Objective
This course describes the architecture, components, and operation of routers, and explains the principles of routing and routing protocols.
Students analyze, configure, verify, and troubleshoot the primary routing protocols RIPv1, RIPv2, EIGRP, and OSPF. By the end of this course, students will be able to recognize and correct common routing issues and problems.
Students complete a basic procedural lab, followed by basic configuration, implementation, and troubleshooting labs in each chapter. Packet Tracer activities reinforce new concepts, and allow students to model and analyze routing processes that may be difficult to visualize or understand.
Students who complete Routing Protocols and Concepts will be able to perform the following functions:
Describe the purpose, nature, and operations of a router
● Explain the critical role routers play in enabling communications across multiple networks
● Describe the purpose and nature of routing tables
● Describe how a router determines a path and switches packets
● Explain the route lookup process and determine the path packets will take in a network
● Configure and verify basic operations for a newly-installed router
● Describe the purpose of static routes and the procedure for configuring them
● Configure and verify static and default routing
● Describe the role of dynamic routing protocols and place these protocols in the context of modern network design
● Describe how metrics are used by routing protocols and identify the metric types used by dynamic routing protocols
● Identify the characteristics of distance vector routing protocols
● Describe the network discovery process of distance vector routing protocols using Routing Information
Protocol (RIP)
● Describe the functions, characteristics, and operations of the RIPv1 protocol
● Compare and contrast classful and classless IP addressing
● Describe classful and classless routing behaviors in routed networks
● Design and implement a classless IP addressing scheme for a given network
● Describe the main features and operations of the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)
● Use advanced configuration commands with routers implementing EIGRP and OSPF
● Describe the basic features and concepts of link-state routing protocols
● Describe the purpose, nature, and operations of the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Protocol
● Configure and verify basic RIPv1, RIPv2, single area OSPF, and EIGRP operations in a small routed network
● Use router show and debug commands to troubleshoot common errors that occur in small routed networks
