Exam 7: Routing Protocols
____ is a proprietary protocol suite developed by Novell.
C
Briefly describe IGRP.
IGRP is a proprietary distance-vector routing protocol created by Cisco to solve some of the problems associated with RIP. A larger hop-count metric allows IGRP to be used on larger networks. In fact, IGRP supports a hop count of 255, although 100 is the default if hop count is configured to be used as a metric. If, for example, IGRP is configured to use hops as a metric and 255 hops is the value configured, on the 256th hop IGRP will return an ICMP destination network unreachable message. In some situations you may actually want to reduce IGRP's hop count to speed convergence and route processing. The metric maximum-hops command allows you to set the maximum hop count for IGRP. You should set the hop count to the maximum number of routers within your network if you are going to use hops with IGRP.
NetBEUI cannot scale into large internetworks because it cannot hold Network layer information in its network header.
A(n) _________________________ is a group of routers under the control of a single administration.
____ is a distance-vector routing protocol that broadcasts entire routing tables to neighbors every 30 seconds, out of every interface.
The ____ command allows you to set the maximum hop count for IGRP.
____________________ are protocols used by routers to make path determination choices and to share those choices with other routers.
The ____ is the time at which a route will be totally removed from the routing table if no updates are received.
____ are very powerful, as they allow administrators complete control over path selection.
The ____ command allows you to configure an administrative distance.
What are some of the drawbacks of using link-state routing protocols?
____ routing protocols broadcast their entire routing table to each neighbor router at predetermined intervals.
