 Router Operations

To route packets, a router needs to do the following :

 Know the destination address
 Identify the sources from which the router can learn
 Discover possible routes to the intended destination
 Select the best route
 Maintain and verify routing information

 Static Routes vs. Dynamic Routes

Two different ways of learning routes to

remote networks:

 Static Routes  Dynamic Routes

• A network administrator • Learned by Routing protocols
enters them into the router and added to the routing
manually. table. Dynamic routes are
adjusted automatically for
topology or traffic changes.

 Static Route Configuration

Router(config)#ip route network [mask]

{address | interface}[distance] [permanent]

 Defines a path to an IP destination network or subnet or host by

specifying the next hop router interface IP address.
 Address
Add = IP address
dd off the
th nextt hop
h router
t
 Interface = outbound interface of the local router

 Static Route Example

RouterX(config)# ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]

or
Router(config)#ip route [Link] [Link] s0/0/0

 This is a unidirectional route

route. You must have a route configured in the
opposite direction.

RouterA(config)#ip route [Link] [Link] Serial0/0 [Link]

N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route

 A special case: Default Routes

 This route allows the stub network to reach all known

networks beyond router A.

Static Routes: Benefits and Disadvantages

Benefits:
- No overhead on the router CPU
- No bandwidth usage between routers
- Securityy and control

Disadvantages:
g
- Administrative burden.
- Not practical in large networks.
- By default it is not conveyed to other routers
as part of an update process.

 Dynamic Routing Configuration

Router(config)#router protocol [keyword]

Defines an IP routing protocol

Router(config-router)#network network-number

• Mandatory configuration command for each IP routing

process

• Identifies the physically connected network to which routing

updates are forwarded

 RIP Configuration

Router(config)#router rip

• Starts the RIP routing

gpprocess.

Router(config-router)#network
g network-number

• Selects p
participating
p g attached networks.
• Requires a major classful network number.
