Module 7 Summary

Before students begin Module 8, they must be able to configure and troubleshoot RIP and IGRP by themselves.

Online assessment options include the end-of-module online quiz in the curriculum and the online Module 7 exam. Formative skill assessments such as timed competitions to see who can get hands-on or e-Lab routing to work the fastest should be used. The emphasis of any assessment should be on the ability to demonstrate mastery.

Students should understand the following main points:

•How routing information is maintained through distance vector protocols

•How routing loops occur in distance vector

•How to define a maximum to prevent count to infinity

•How to eliminate routing loops through split horizon

•Route poisoning

•How to avoid routing loops with triggered updates

•How to prevent routing loops with holddown timers

•How to prevent routing updates through an interface

•Load balancing across multiple paths

•RIP process

•RIP configuration

•The ip classless command

•Common RIP configuration issues

•Load balancing with RIP

•How to integrate static routes with RIP

•How to verify RIP configuration

•IGRP features

•IGRP metrics

•IGRP routes
