IP Routing

This course provides an in-depth understanding of core network processes including IP routing, packet switching, encapsulation, and routing protocols. It covers the three-step routing logic, administrative distance, recursive lookups, CEF switching, and encapsulation for point-to-point networks. Learners explore routing protocol classifications and configure RIP and OSPF through theory and hands-on GNS3 labs, focusing on OSPF network types, SPF algorithm, and real-world topology implementation.

    At the end of this course, you'll learn how to

    • Understand IP routing logic including longest match, administrative distance, and recursive lookup.
    • Analyze switching methods like process switching, fast switching, and CEF with GNS3 demos.
    • Configure static routes and encapsulation over point-to-point and multipoint links.
    • Distinguish between routing protocol classes: distance vector, link-state, hybrid, and path-vector.
    • Implement RIP v1/v2 with summarization, auto-summary, and route redistribution in GNS3.
    • Configure OSPF with neighbor discovery, SPF calculation, media types, and timer tuning in GNS3.
