Why we r using rip instead of ospf?

Could be because your routers do not support OSPF.


Does VLSM support RIPv1?

ya if they are on both side then.. if one side then not..


What are the key characteristics of OSPF?

OSPF has the following features:Fast Convergence OSPF can detect and propagate topology changes faster than RIP. Count-to-infinity does not occur with OSPF.Loop-Free Routes OSPF-calculated routes are always loop-free.Scalability With OSPF, an AS can be subdivided into contiguous groups of networks called areas. Routes within areas can be summarized to minimize route table entries. Areas can be configured with a default route summarizing all routes outside the AS or outside the area. As a result, OSPF can scale to large and very large internetworks. In contrast, RIP for IP internetworks cannot be subdivided and no route summarization is done beyond the summarizing for all subnets of a network ID.Subnet Mask Advertised with the Network OSPF was designed to advertise the subnet mask with the network. OSPF supports variable-length subnet masks (VLSM), disjointed subnets, and supernetting.Support for Authentication Information exchanges between OSPF routes can be authenticated.Support for External Routes Routes outside of the OSPF AS are advertised within the AS so that OSPF routers can calculate the least cost route to external networks.


What field was added to the rip message by rfc 1723 to add support for vlsm and cidr?

Subnet mask


What do you mean by classless addressing?

CLASSFUL ROUTING PROTOCOL. It means it will not carry the routing mask information while routing updates or routing advertisements. it will carry just only the ip-address information's. It will assume just default mask information's. Example : class-A 255.0.0.0 Class-B 255.255.0.0 Class-C 255.255.255.0 So classful routing protocols will not support the VLSM and Supernetting Example of classful routing protocols is 1. RIP V1 2. IGRP CLASSLESS ROUTING PROTOCOL These kind of routing protocols will carry the subnet mask information's while doing the routing updates or routing advertisements. So it will support the VLSM and Supernetting, also support noncontiguous networks Example RIP V2 EIGRP OSPF CLASSFUL ROUTING PROTOCOL. It means it will not carry the routing mask information while routing updates or routing advertisements. it will carry just only the ip-address information's.

What field was added to the rip message header by RFC 1723 to add support for vlsm and cidr?

Subnet mask


What is IGP?

Dear All, Clasful routing protocols will not support VLSM because it doesn't send the subnet mask information along with routing information. Classless routing protocols will support VLSM as because it s sending the subnet mask information with routing updates. Regards, Sivaraj C


What is the difference between OSPF and IS-IS and which one is preferred?

OSPF requires an area 0, while IS-IS does not. Like OSPF, IS-IS uses areas when designing the network. However, IS-IS does not require and area 0 like OSPF does. Because IS-IS was originally designed for non-IP protocols, it can more easily support IPv6 routing. Preference is relative to the size of the network. OSPF (a network layer protocol) is more often used in medium to large enterprise networks because of it's special tunnelling features. IS-IS is often used in VERY large ISP networks because of its stability features and the fact that it can support more routers.


How many types of LSAs does OSPF support?

5 types Internetworking with Cisco and Microsoft Technologies pg. 307


Which three interior routing protocols support VLSM?

OSPFRIP v2EIGRPOSPF, IS-IS and RIP v2 are the open standard IGPs. Also, Cisco's EIGRP.fm


What is ospf throttle?

OSPF LSA throttling helps the dampening of LSA updates in OSPF during times of network instability.


What type of protocol is OSPF?

OSPF is short form of open shortest path first. OSPF is based on linked state routing.
