Routing Protocols and Their Functions

The video tutorial provides an overview of routing, focusing on static and dynamic routing. It explains dynamic routing with an example involving routers R1 and R2. The tutorial discusses routing protocols such as RIP and OSPF, highlighting their differences in terms of metrics and routing tables. It also introduces IGP and EGP protocols, explaining their roles in network routing. The video concludes with a comparison of routing metrics used by RIP and OSPF, emphasizing the importance of choosing the best path based on different criteria.

What are the two main types of routing discussed in the video?

• Static and Dynamic

• Manual and Automatic

• Local and Global

• Direct and Indirect

In dynamic routing, what is the role of a routing table?

• To manage bandwidth allocation

• To store static routes

• To configure network interfaces

• To share paths with other routers

What is the primary function of the 'best path' in routing?

• To select the path with the least cost

• To choose the path with the most routers

• To determine the most reliable route

• To find the shortest physical distance

Which protocol uses the distance vector method?

• OSPF

• RIP

• BGP

• EIGRP

What does OSPF use to determine the best route?

• Distance vector

• Hop count

• Static paths

• Link state

What is the main difference between IGP and EGP?

• IGP is for internal networks, EGP is for external networks

• IGP uses static routing, EGP uses dynamic routing

• IGP is faster than EGP

• IGP is more secure than EGP

Which metric does RIP primarily use?

• Latency

• Bandwidth

• Hop count

• Cost

How does OSPF determine the best path?

• By using the shortest path

• By considering the highest bandwidth

• By using the fewest hops

• By selecting the least cost

What can be adjusted in Mikrotik to influence OSPF routing?

• Hop count

• Distance

• Latency

• Cost

Which protocol is more suitable for large networks with complex topologies?

• Manual routing

• RIP

• OSPF

• Static routing
