Is OSPF a classful or classless link-state routing protocol?

OSPF is a classless link-state routing protocol. RIP version 1 and IGRP are both classful distance vector routing protocols, EIGRP is a hybrid protocol that supports classless addressing.


Which is classified as a link-state routing protocol?

There are actually two OSPF and IS-IS


What is the difference between Link state routing and distance vector routing through examples?

In a distance vector routing protocol, such as RIP or EIGRP, each router sends its routing table to neighboring routers. The routers don't know the topology, i.e., how other routers are interconnected. In a link state routing protocol, such as OSPF or IS-IS, routers first exchange information about connections within the network (or an area of the network), and build a topology table. Then each router uses Dijkstra's algorithm to calculate the best route to each destination.


What does the Cisco IOS use to calculate the OSPF cost to a destination network?

OSPF stands for open shortest path first. OSPF is an exterior routing protocol. OSPF uses Path vector routing algorithm.


What type of protocol is OSPF?

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

What routing protocol is the most popular link-state protocol used within a large organization?

OSPF


What types of routing protocols allow routers to exchange information?

That would be a distance-vector routing protocol. Examples (taught at Cisco Academies) include RIP, IGRP (obsolete in the new version of the curriculum), and EIGRP - but those are only for IP, and there are also distance-routing protocols for other networking protocols, for example, RIP for IPX.


What is the main difference between OSPF and RIP?

Both uses Distance vector algorithm...... . updates the routing table for every 30 seconds. and in OSPF requires hoping reneval of routing table


Which two of these are routing protocol?

Rip ospf


What is advance distance-vector algorithm?

Distance-vector algorithms refer to routing protocols - protocols used by routers to inform each other about available routes. In distance-vector algorithms, such as RIP or EIGRP, the routers inform each other about their routing tables, and each router adds a metric (or distance) to the route - however, the routers don't know about the topology of the network (unlike the link-state protocols, such as OSPF).


What is OSPF adjacencies?

OSPF is a link-state routing protocol that helps Routers exchange IP routes. OSPF Adjacencies is the established "neighborship" between two OSPF routers in order to make the exchange of routes. In this case, Adjacency means the same as "peering", that the OSPF speakers (routers) are able to "talk" to each other.
