1. Design a plan to integrate the different routing protocols into
a new network design for Genome4U’s lab.
Since for every team, a different project has been assigned, the
setup of a separate VLAN should also be provided. This can
serve as a logical separation between each of the teams,
assuming to tackle different environments. In the figure which
has been provided above, the CISCO switches indicate several
VLANs that have already been configured. These VLANs have
been connected using routers, the EIGRP routing protocol on
which has been configured. In general, the router, i.e. EIGRP is
internal to the lab. The diagram has two routers, i.e., Router-
EIGRP/RIP which is meant to connect the lab of biology and
Router-EIGRP/OSPF which connects the lab o fundraising
interface. The use of file servers is made to store files
containing the data of volunteer (NAS – Network attached
storage).
Due to the difference of routing schemes in the research lab,
Fund raising lab and Biology lab respectively, one needs to
adopt immediately the process of route redistribution (CISCO,
2012). Between the lab of Biology and research, the existing in-
between router is responsible for redistribution between EIGRP
and RIP network whereas, the responsibility of router located
between that of the fund raising office and research is related to
EIGRP/OSPF redistribution. Apart from the router placed
between that of the lab o biology and fund raising office tends

between them.
2. What information will you redistribute between routing
protocols?
The importance of route redistribution lies in the fact that it
helps to deal with the diversity present within any of the
networks, especially concerning routing. Routing protocols are
needed to make the network devices remember routes. However
in case of presence of different protocol on different network
segments, the importance of redistribution route emerges. To
understand this, one can consider the example of redistribution
where the RIP learned routes are attempted to be made
understandable to that of EIGRP and vice versa. The use of
default metric or related techniques are brought into use to do
this (CISCO, 2012).
3. Identify the problems you expect to encounter (with different
metrics, security, etc.) when you redistribute.
Each of the routing protocols uses different metrics in the
response of having completed with deciding the best possible
path. Entries as per the metric are also mentioned in the routing
tables. The best example to that may be EIGRP under which the
use of delay is made. Other than that, bandwidth and RIP also
use a simple metric of hop counts. However, the use of the
standard default metric is made to assure route distribution. It is
even possible to define on the basis of redistribution, any
specific metric.
Another potential problem which exists is the occurrence of
inefficient routing which may also be referred as convergence
issue or unending loop. When the process of learning of router
takes place from different protocols, the best route is chosen
using administrative distance. However, this may result in the
formation of loops. The different routing protocols with
different addressing schemes also cause much distress. Hence
diversity in addressing schemes makes it difficult to summarize
routes.

3. 4. Explain how you will overcome the problems.
To resolve the problem of potential loops and convergence
issues, one can rely on changing the configuration on routers.
The instructions regarding retaining only the best available
administrative distances should be configured within a router.
All the other options available should be eliminated. This would
certainly prevent looping.
Apart from this, the use of BGP/IBGP can be made for making
possible the routing between different network domains (Hares,
2006). The idea that derived the development of this protocol
was all related to that of redistribution and inter-domain
routing. It can assist best in large scale inter-networking.
5. Explain how you will provide Internet access.
For the sole purpose of connecting the internet, one can connect
the lab to that of the university’s network, as displayed in the
figure below. The router responsible for the connection of
network between that of the lab and the university will undergo
redistribution between the protocols of RIP and EIGRP.
However, the default gateway must be used by lay to route its
packet. Hence it is preferred to keep the distance between the
router and the default gateway as displayed in the figure.
Through this, the efficiency in internet interaction can be made.
