• Build redundancy into routed networks.
• Plan IP addressing, subnetting, VLSMs and route summarisations.
• Evaluate and choose appropriate routing protocols for particular scenarios.
• Use more than one routing protocol within an AS.
• Configure and plan networks using
  • RIP and IGRP
  • EIGRP and OSPF

PCs, Systems and Routing
Default gateways, ICMP router discovery, RIP, Dead router detection, HSRP, VRRP.

Static routes
Why use static routes? Configuring static routes, default routes.

Subnetting
Quick review of IP addressing. The need for subnetting, subnet masks, Calculating network numbers.

Routing protocol overview
Interior vs exterior routing protocols, Distance vector, Link state, Path vector and hybrid routing protocols, Routing protocol metrics, convergence.

RIP
Distance Vector routing, basic operation, metrics, routing loops, counting to infinity, Split horizons, Poison reverse, route poisoning, triggered updates.

IGRP
Composite metric.

EIGRP
How EIGRP works, DUAL, Scaling EIGRP with route summarisation.

Route aggregation
Using VLSMs to provide more efficient address allocation, automatic route summarisation on class boundaries, route summarisation on the bit boundaries.

OSPF within an area
Link state protocols, operation.

OSPF between areas
Router types, LSA types, area 0, transit areas, stub areas, TSSA's, NSSA's, design guidelines, Type E1 and E2.

Redistribution
Multiple routing protocols, routing distance, metrics, redistribution.

IS-IS
Link state protocol review, Type 1 and Type 2, integrated IS-IS.

BGP
CIDR, Loop free routing, Policy routing.
