Adding Routes
Static routing
Manually entered by the administrator:
more secure
low processor overhead
have precise control of path selection
Dynamic routing
router learns route from other routers, dynamically
Version 3.1
ip default-network
Version 3.1
ip route

Routing Processes
Remember that the IP source and destination do not
change in the packet, but the MAC addresses do
change.
The packet is forwarded based on the MAC address of
the next hop.
Layer 3 address is always used in routing, but the
MAC address has to change because the data is
framed as it moves out on the data link layer.
Source to destination --- we are always talking about
network addressing
Version 3.1
Route Metrics
Routing protocols use metrics to determine the best
route to a destination.
The metric is a value that measures the desirability of
a route.
The smaller the metric number, the better the path.

Route Metrics
The more factors that make up a metric, the greater the
flexibility to tailor network operations to meet specific
needs.
By default, IGRP uses the static factors bandwidth and
delay to calculate a metric value (so bandwidth and delay
can actually be entered by the administrator).
IGRP may also be configured to include the dynamic
factors, load and reliability, in the metric calculation.
Remember, IGRP uses the metric
Metric = bandwidth + delay

Troubleshooting
Version 3.1

Broken cables
Disconnected cables
Cables connected to the wrong ports
Intermittent cable connection
Wrong cables used for the task at hand (must use
rollovers, crossover cables, and straight-through
cables correctly)
Transceiver problems
DCE cable problems
DTE cable problems
Devices turned off

show ip protocols
The show ip protocols command shows the following:
Sources of routing updates
The networks being advertised
Update timer values
Ex. If a network is not being included in the routing
updates and should be, an administrator could issue
this command to see which networks are being
advertised
Version 3.1

debug
Be Careful!!!
Debug will give you live, changing information.
Therefore it will use processor time that may disrupt
normal router operation
Especially should not use debug all, but be more
specific, like
debug ip rip (only live info on rip routing ip)
To turn off debug, use undebug all or u all
