Lesson Objectives

Cisco Routing Protocol Design Considerations

differentiate between static and dynamic routing.

evaluate routing protocol metrics for route path selection and determine convergence requirements for the network.

differentiate between hierarchical and flat routing protocols and identify the hierarchy that dictates an appropriate routing protocol for a network.

differentiate between the different routing protocols.

identify the features of various IGPs and the appropriate usage of them.

identify the features of various routing protocols and the key considerations in their deployment.

identify the features of various routing protocols and the key considerations in their deployment in a given scenario.

select the routing protocol for a specific hierarchical level of a network.

identify the key considerations for the deployment of routing protocol features and outline the interaction between BGP and IGP.

select the suitable routing protocol for a network in a given scenario.

recognize the importance of fast convergence in a network and identify factors affected by such convergence in a given scenario.
