This bundle  introduces the essential processes and protocols for IP routing, covering IP routing fundamentals, packet switching, encapsulation, and the configuration of major routing protocols (RIP, EIGRP, OSPF). Through GNS3 labs, students gain hands-on experience in configuring routes, understanding metrics, and managing complex routing scenarios. This chapter equips students with practical skills to efficiently design and troubleshoot IP networks.


Skill Set

  • Analyze and select optimal IP routes by applying concepts like longest match, metric calculations, and administrative distance for precise route selection
  • Configure packet switching methods, mastering process switching, fast switching, and Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) to improve network performance and enable load balancing.
  • Perform encapsulation processes effectively and configure static routes for both point-to-point and multi-point network interfaces, solidifying foundational routing skills.
  • Differentiate key routing protocols (Distance Vector, Link State, Hybrid, and Path-Vector) and implement them to manage dynamic network environments.
  • Configure and fine-tune RIP and EIGRP, gaining experience in metric tuning, route summarization, and redistributing routes across different network segments.
  • Set up and manage OSPF in complex networks, handling LSAs, configuring multi-area OSPF, and optimizing routing through network type selection and area configuration.
