EGPs have been increasing in popularity among <strong>network</strong><br />

administra<strong>to</strong>rs because of <strong>the</strong>ir flexibility. You as a <strong>network</strong><br />

administra<strong>to</strong>r need <strong>to</strong> be aware of <strong>the</strong> role <strong>the</strong>y have in routing traffic<br />

across <strong>the</strong> Internet. Configuring BGP will be addressed in Chapter 10,<br />

"Using IP Routing Pro<strong>to</strong>cols on Cisco Routers." Policy routing will be<br />

addressed in Chapter 9, "Advanced Routing Options and<br />

Configuration."<br />

Summary<br />

At this point, you should have a good understanding of routing<br />

concepts, including <strong>the</strong> strengths and weaknesses of <strong>the</strong> pro<strong>to</strong>cols,<br />

how <strong>the</strong>y're used and why. We focused on <strong>the</strong> open pro<strong>to</strong>col<br />

standards EIGRP and IGRP, OSPF, IGP and ERP, RIP and BGP. You<br />

should be familiar with <strong>the</strong> fac<strong>to</strong>rs that affect dynamic routing, such<br />

as metrics and convergence, and how each pro<strong>to</strong>col adjusts <strong>to</strong><br />

changes in <strong>the</strong> <strong>network</strong>'s configuration and state.<br />
