Cisco Routing 6 - srovnání routovacích protokolů

Cisco Routing 6 - Routing Protocol Comparison

| Petr Bouška - Samuraj |
In the previous parts of the series on routing (mainly from the perspective of Cisco elements) I briefly described the characteristics of the main routing protocols. In this latest installment, I attempt a brief tabular comparison of the main features. This is not intended for decision making when choosing a suitable routing protocol, but rather for the overview needed for the Cisco test.

The comparison is not complete and I would be happy to receive additional information (or correct any inaccuracies).

Routing

The routing of packets between individual computer networks (LANs) is carried out using a technique called routing. Different routing protocols are used for this. Routing is one of the basic parts of communication on the Internet.

Cisco IOS

A large series about the operating system of Cisco's active elements. It contains some of the most read articles on this site. The articles describe the configuration of switches and routers, primarily with Cisco IOS. Things about ports, VLANs, STP, ACLs, QoS, etc.

    Hmm,ja som si myslel ze Ripv1 ani Ripv2 nepodporuju CIDR iba VLSM. Ved ked napisem network 192.168.42.64 v running cfg mam len 192.168.42.0

    respond to [1]MacGyver:

    viz RFC 4632 - strana 11... RIPv2 podporuje CIDR. RIPv1 nepodporuje ani VLSM.

    PS: Možná že parametr network nebude přesně to co myslíte :)

    respond to [2]tomfi: jasne ze jednicka nepodporuje VLSM,:). Ale co vlastne to CIDR je, skratku poznam a stoho mi vypliva ze je to ked zadam siet tak mi ju nesekne podla triedy ale mi necha siet podla masky, nedba na triedy. predom dakujem

    respond to [3]MacGyver:

    CIDR je trochu více věcí... nemá smysl se tu o tom rozpisovat... už je to jednak jinde a jednak o cidr je celý to RFC na který jsem odkazoval (chytrému napověz ;) )

    Ale ano, "nesekne ji podle třídy", tedy pokud nemáte nějakou sumarizaci (auto(podle tříd) nebo manual).
