Question

You are an IT company and want to get a travel agency's network design, hardware, software, and security.

Routing Protocols. Are routed protocol and routing protocol the same?  Give examples of both. What routing protocol(s) are you planning to use in the travel agency network? Justify your selection. As the travel agency network uses private ip addresses, what routing feature does need to be configured to access the WAN with public ip address? What device does have the feature?

Answer 1

ANSWERS :

ANS : Routed protocol and routing protocols are not same. They are different.

Examples :

- Routed protocol : IPV4, IPV6.

- Routing protocol : Open shortest path first (OSPF), Routing information protocol ( RIP), Enhanced Interior gateway routing protocol ( EIGRP)

* Routing Protocol used in this network :

Enhanced Interior gateway routing protocol (EIGRP).

- It is a distance vector routing protocol. It was developed by Cisco. It is a very fast routing protocol. It shares route with other router within same autonomous system.

- As EIGRP is effecient in load balancing the equal and unequal cost paths it will be most suitable.

- It also supports multiple routed protocol making it more favourable than the other.

- It is very effecient and have a less convergent time.

* As the travel agency network uses private ip addresses, following routing feature does need to be configured to access the WAN with public ip address :

NAT feature is required i.e. Network address translation. As NAT enables the private IP address to access the WAN with a public IP address.

Device which have this feature or uses this feature is a Router.
