Paper Lab: Routing Protocols
Objective:
To be able to compare and contrast between the routing protocols used so far in our
studies: RIP, RIP version 2, IGRP, EIGRP, BGP and OSPF.
On your test you may see this as a drag and drop or even matching. In this lab I have
created paper “exercises” to help “simulate” this as best as I can.
Link State—Distance Vector—Hybrid
Put each of the protocols into their “type” of routing protocol. Identify which algorithm
is used for each.
Link State Distance Vector Hybrid Alg.
RIP
yes
RIP version 2
no
IGRP
EIGRP
BGP
OSPF no SPF
Which protocol(s) would be best used or more likely used in each situation and why?
1. Your company is connecting to the Internet via an ISP.
2. You wish to have your subnet mask information sent along with routing
information.
3. Your company is running nothing but CISCO equipment for networking.
4. You are working in a small company using older equipment from CISCO.
5. Your company is using CISCO equipment along with IBM, Nortel, and Bay
networking equipment.
6. You are working in a company that seems to merge many times with other
companies. They also like to “absorb” smaller companies by purchasing
them.
