What are the four routing
protocols that are the focus of
this course?
What are routing protocols?
What is one of the primary
benefits of using a dynamic
routing protocol?
Do dynamic routing protocols
require more or less
administrative overhead as
compared to static routing?
What is he expense of using
dynamic routing protocols?
A set of processes, algorithms,
and messages that are used to
exchange routing information
and populate the routing table
with the routing protocol's
choice of best paths is the
definition of what networking
process?
What are the purposes of a
routing protocol?
List and define the three
components of routing
protocols?
What are the four general
operations of a dynamic routing
protocol?
What are the primary uses for
static routing?
What are the advantages of
static routing?
What are disadvantages of
static routing?
What are the advantages of
dynamic routing?
What are the disadvantages of
dynamic routing?
What are the distance vector
protocols?
What are the link state
protocols?

protocol listed?
What is an Autonomous
System?
What is another name for an
Autonomous System?
What are Interior Gateway
Protocols used for?
What are Exterior Gateway
Protocols used for?
What are the two classifications
of IGP’s?
What is a vector?
Define distance and direction.
Where does a distance vector
router receive its information
from?
Do distance vector protocols
have a map of the entire
network?
Where do distance vector
protocols work best?
What can a link-state router do
that a link state router can not?
Define converged.
When are updates sent in a
link-state network?
What are the best situations to
use a link-state protocol?
What do classful routing
protocols not send in their
updates?
What is the situation where you
can not use a classful routing
protocol?
What are the two classful
routing protocols?
What do classless routing
protocols include in their
updates?
What are the classless routing
protocols?
Define convergence?
What is convergence time?
Which 2 protocols are slow to
converge?
Which 2 protocols are faster to
converge?
What is a metric?
What is the metric used for?

What is the metric for RIP?
What is the metric for EIGRP?
What is the metric for OSPF?
What does hop count refer to?
Can metrics from one routing
protocol be compared to
another routing protocol’s
metric?
List and define the possible
metrics to choose from?
List and explain each routing
protocol and the metric it uses.
In the show ip route display
where is the metric listed?
What is the process used to
forward packets when 2 or
more paths have equal costs?
Where can you look to
determine if load balancing is
being used?
What are the possible values
for Administrative Distance?
What is the best value for
administrative distance?
What type of route has the
lowest possible administrative
distance?
What does an administrative
distance of 255 mean?
Where can you find the
administrative distance in the
show ip route output?
How does a router choose the
best path if two routing
protocols are being used?
What are the two commands in
which you can determine what
the administrative distance is?
What is the administrative
distance for a static route?
If you configure a route to a
destination also learned by a
dynamic routing protocol, what
would you set the
administrative distance to?
What command can be issued
to see the AD of a specific
route?
Can you change the AD of a
3.5.1
directly connected route?
What command can be issued
to see the AD of a directly
connected route?
This is excellent practice for the
exam. These are easy
questions to right and if you
practice they are easy to
answer.
