Audience

System engineers and network designers who have a knowledge of internetworking and Cisco products

Prerequisites

The Cisco IOS 11.3: ICRC curriculum; all preceding courses in the Cisco: Designing Cisco Networks curriculum

Course Aim

To enable the student to understand routing protocols and their impact on network scalability and to identify the different kinds of bridging protocols supported by Cisco routers (bridges) and switches

Learning Objectives

Explain distance vector routing and the key features of the distance vector routing protocol. Understand link-state routing and the key features of link-state routing protocols. Describe the key features of hybrid routing protocols. Define the term scalability. List the elements of routing protocols that affect network scalability. Assess how routing metrics affect scalability. Discuss convergence and how it is affected by the type of routing protocol chosen. Point out how routing loops are created and how they are resolved. Describe Cisco-supported bridging protocols and how the choice of bridging protocol can affect scalability. Select routing protocols for various network situations.

Topics Covered

Routing protocols - Distance vector protocols - Link-state protocols - Hybrid protocols Scalability considerations - Metrics - Convergence - Routing loops Bridging protocols - Protocol types - Hands-on: Determining network protocols
