Routing and Interior Gateways

The learning goals for this chapter are as follows:

  • Obtain a global picture of routing and the various issues associated with its execution
  • Explore the configurations employed with different routing protocols
  • Learn the operations employed in VLAN routing
  • Explore the details involved in the use of the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) interior gateway protocol and the manner in which the path is computed using Dijkstra’s algorithm
  • Understand the many features of the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), and the calculations involved in the distance vector algorithm which is based upon the Bellman-Ford equation
