CCNA - Routing Final
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is a routing loop? | A packet is continuously transmitted within a series of routers without ever reaching its intended destination network. |
Common causes of routing loops? | Incorrect: Static, Route Redistribution (between routing protocols) and Inconsistent Routing Tables (slow convergence). |
Problems caused by routing loops? | Uses bandwidth + CPU, routing updates could be lost or processed slower leading to more loops, packets might get lost without reaching intended destination. |
Solutions to Routing Loops? | #1. Max Metric (RIP uses 15, prevents counts to infinity) #2. Hold-down timers #3. Split Horizon #4. Route Poisoning or Poison Reverse #5. Triggered Updates. |
What is Count-To-Infinity? | A routing loop causes the hop count metric of RIP to continually go higher, max of 15 prevents a Count to Infinity. |
What is a Hold-Down Timer? | If a route goes down there is a set amount of time when the router will not accept any information on a route unless it's a better metric than before. This allows time for the information to propagate the network. |
What is Split-Horizon? | Routers will not send information about a route back from the same interface it received the update. |
What is Route Poisoning? | Showing a route is unreachable by sending a route update at the MAX metric (16 hops in RIP). |
What is Poison Reverse? | Combination of Route Poisoning with Split Horizon, send poison update out the interface where the route was learned from. |
How does TTL affect routing loops? | TTL will get the packet dropped once it reaches zero, will not loop forever. |
What are Alex Zinin's Routing Table Principles? | #1. Routing decisions made from routers routing table #2. Just because information is in one routing table doesn't mean it's in another #3. Routing information to a destination does not guarantee a return path. |
In RIPv1 if one router has ip 192.168.185.0/28 what will be advertised out and interface with ip 192.168.182.16/29? | Due to VLSM it will not be advertised. |
In RIPv1 if one router has ip 192.168.185.0/28 what would be advertised out an interface with ip 192.168.182.16/28? | Since the mask is the same it will be advertised. |
In which network layer does CDP operate? | Layer 2, so any directly connected devices become neighbors, no IP (layer 3) information required. |
Commands to show CDP informaion? | show cdp neighbors OR show cdp neighbors detail. |
How do you turn off CDP advertisements? | ENTIRE ROUTER: Router(config)# no cdp run SINGLE INTERFACE: Router(config-if)# no cdp enable |
When calculating a static summary route where do you draw the boundary line? | In between where all the bits are the same and where there are any different bits. |
In RIPv1 a router has an interface with ip 192.168.185.0/28 it sends an update out an interface with a 172.18.0.0/22 mask, what happens? | RIPv1 will automatically change the 192.168.185.0/28 to 192.168.185.0/24 which is the classful address. Automatic Summary. |
What Metric does RIP use? | Hop count. |
What Metric does EIGRP use? | Bandwidth and Delay. Could also use Load and Reliability if configured. |
What Metric does OSPF use? | Cost (Bandwidth on cisco devices). |
What is the Administrative Distance of RIP? | 120 |

What are the three types of routes in a routing table? | Directly Connected, Static, Dynamic |
What are level 1 routes? | Default, Supernet and Network (parent) routes. |
What are level 2 routes? | Subnet or Child Routes. |
What is an Ultimate Route? | A route that includes a next-hop IP or an exit interface. |
What if a route doesn't have an exit interface? | Recursive route look-up must be done to find the exit interface. |
How is the parent route listed if the child routes all have the same mask? | The parent will be given the mask and all the child routes will be listed without one |
How is a parent route listed if the child routes have VLSM | The parent route will be given a classful mask and the child routes will all have their own individual masks. |
How does classful routing behavior affect the routing table lookup process? | If the route found a best match was a parent route but there were no children routes that match it, packet gets dropped. If it checks a parent route it will not go back to default route for a lesser match. |
How to set up classless routing behavior? | ip classless (no ip classless to turn it off) |
When did ip classless become the default behavior (which version) | 11.3 or > = ip classess < 11.3 = no ip classess |
What algorithm does EIGRP use? | DUAL |
How often does EIGRP send out periodic routing updates? | It doesn't use periodic routing updates, they are triggered. |
How does DUAL work? | It maintains a topology table where it holds on to not only the best route (Successor) but also all loop-free routes (feasible successor) |
How does EIGRP remain loop-free? | EIGRP only adds routes that have a REPORTED DISTANCE lower than the current paths FEASIBLE DISTANCE to be sure there is no loop. |
How does autonomous system number work? | When setting up EIGRP it is required to be the same for the routers to form adjacency |
How does EIGRP form adjacency? | Sends out Hello packets. |

What is RTP? | Reliable Transport Protocol, like UDP or TCP for EIGRP but different so that it can be used with other protocols. Even though says Reliable can be unreliable. |
What is EIGRP Query used for? | When EIGRP needs to find a route to a network, query used to ask other routers for routes, other routers respond with REPLY. |
Default Hello and Hold times on EIGRP? | 5 seconds Hello, 15 seconds Hold Time....On slow networks (<1.544Mbps) 60 and 180seconds |
What happens in EIGRP when hold timer runs out? | route declared as down DUAL searches for new path in topology table or queries get sent out. |
What is a Bounded Update? | EIGRP sends partial updates only to routers affected by the change, only routers that need the info get updated |
What is a Partial Update? | Used by EIGRP, only includes the information on the route changes. Might be called Incremental. |

What is LSP? | Link-State Packet, contains the state of each directly connected link (neighbor ID, link type, bandwidth) |
