IP routing overview

An overview of IP routing.

l      Routing protocols overview

l      IP routing and routing table

l      Routing based on a routing table

BGP

The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a dynamic inter-AS protocol. BGP configuration involves mainly the following tasks:

l      Configuring BGP basic functions

l      Configuring BGP route attributes

l      Configuring a large-scale BGP network

OSPF

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a link state interior gateway protocol. OSPF configuration involves mainly the following tasks:

l      Configuring OSPF basic functions.

l      Configuring OSPF area parameters

l      Configuring the OSPF network type

l      Configuring OSPF route control

RIP

The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a simple interior gateway protocol (IGP) mainly used in small-sized networks. RIP configuration involves mainly the following tasks:

l      Configuring RIP basic functions

l      Configuring RIP routing features

Static routing

Static routes are manually configured by the administrator. The proper configuration and usage of static routes can improve network performance and ensure bandwidth for important network applications. Static routing configuration involves mainly the following tasks:

l      Configuring a static route

l      Configuring next-hop reachability detection of static routing
