Dynamic Routing

Q . What is Dynamic Routing ?

When protocols are used to find networks & update routing table on routers , A Routing Protocol defines the set of rules used by router when it communicates routing info between neighbour routers .

There are two types of protocols used in internetwork : -

Interior Gateway Protocols ( IGPs ) : - to exchange information with routers in same Autonomous systems (AS ) no.

Exterior Gateway Protocols ( EGPs ) :- to communicate between different AS no.

Components of Routing : -

Autonomous System : - it is a collection of networks under  a common administrative domain  , which basically means that all routers sharing the same routing table information are in same A.S

Admininstrative Distance : - A.D. is use to rate the trustworthiness of routing info received on a router from a neighbouring router . An Admin. Dist. is an function integer ranging from 0 - 255 ., where 0 is most trusted  & 255 means no traffic will be passed via this route .

Some default Administrative Distance : - 

Route Source                                                      Default A.D. 

Connected Interface                                                 0
Static Route                                                             1
E.I.G.R.P.                                                               90
I.G.R.P.                                                                  100
O.S.P.F.                                                                  110
R.I.P.                                                                      120
On demand Routing                                                  160
Ext. E.I.G.R.P.                                                         170
Unknown                   -            255 (This Routing will never be used )
