3. Dynamic Concept of operation: exchange
information
Learn networks and all possible paths
Choose best path (route)
Any protocol advertise routes equal to Directly
connected1 + Learned routes2
1 Directly connected: only enabled in protocol
2 Learned routes: only learned by the same
protocol
4. Autonomous System (AS)
Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP)
Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP)
Each AS can be assigned a number called (ASN)
Public ASN assigned by regional organization
under control of IANA
Private ASN: 64,512 to 65,534
5. IGP: Routing information exchange between
routers of the same Autonomous system
Distance Vector
Link State
RIP
IGRP
OSPF
IS-IS
Hybrid
EIGRP
7. Entire routers relationship
Partial / Full update
Event trigger
Fast convergence
Better links utilization
OSPF and IS-IS
8. Run the protocol (RIP, OSPF, EIGRP)
Router(config)# router protocol-name
Activate interfaces in protocol process and add its
network in related updates
Router(config-router)# network networkID
