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 routing protocol has a limitation of 15 hops?

RIP RIPnetworks are limited in size to a maximum of 15 hops between any two networks. A network hop with a hop count of 16 indicates an unreachable network. The other routing protocols do not use the hop count as the metric, EIGRP uses bandwidth and delay for the metric. OSPF and IS-IS use a relative link cost, BGP uses paths, rules, and policies for the metric.


What are the routing metrics for OSPF?

OSPF uses cost as its routing metric . cost is calculated for every outgoing interface of a router through which packets transfer. it is calculated by the formula cost = 100000000/(bandwidth of output interface) most likely bandwidth of serial int is 1544kb= 1544000 bytes PS: all cost calculation to be done in bytes for ease


How you configure both eigrp and ospf to transfer a packet eigrp to ospf and ospf to eigrp?

we would need to redistribute ospf routes into eigrp and vice versa. redistribution will have to be done on an ASBR(autonomus system boundry router) eg: we have an ospf process wid process id 10 running and eigrp with ASN 20 running in our network redistribution on ASBR would be conf t router ospf 10 redistribute eigrp 20 subnets metric 1 and in eigrp conf t router eigrp 20 redistribute ospf metric 1 1 1 1 1 we see i used 5 ones in eigrp process to redistribute opsf into eigrp. thes 1's are metrics for eigrp namely load bandwidth delay reliability


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


What is the method that a routing protocol uses to determine the best route to a destination network?

It depends on the routing protocol in use, for example RIP uses the hop-count to determine the best route where less hops is better, OSPF uses cost, EIGRP uses a composite metric (BW + Delay + Reliability + Load) etc.


What is ospf throttle?

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