RIP - Only for small networks or those with underpowered hardware that either don't support or don't have the resources for a better routing protocol.

IGRP - Basically outdated and supplanted by EIGRP. Again, useful if you can not use EIGRP due to router limitations.

EIGRP - Useful in Cisco-only networks of basically any size. EIGRP is an extremely robust and efficient protocol that suits nearly any need other than inter-organization routing.

OSPF - Useful everywhere. It's standardized, so it's not limited to a particular vendor. Most appropriate in large multi-vendor networks. It has a higher CPU load than EIGRP does, and it requires more granular control from an administration perspective.

Why is IGRP no longer supported on the new Cisco IOS?

EIGRP (Enhanced IGRP) has replaced IGRP. With the way EIGRP is set up as a protocol it is possible to implement a newer router that only supports EIGRP into a network that is running IGRP. Honestly network admins should be pushing for EIGRP if they are still on IGRP as for many features and advantages EIGRP has over IGRP. Directly from Cisco.com: "Enhanced IGRP provides compatibility and seamless interoperation with IGRP routers. An automatic-redistribution mechanism allows IGRP routes to be imported into Enhanced IGRP, and vice versa, so it is possible to add Enhanced IGRP gradually into an existing IGRP network."

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.

What are some true statements concerning the advantages of a distance vector protocol?

Distance Vector Protocol is a simple routing protocol.It uses distance or hop count as the primary metric when determining the best forwarding path.RIP, IGRP and EIGRP are examplesIt dates back to the ARPAnet network in the early 1970


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 are most common dynamic routing protocols?

Dynamic routing protocols are "languages" routers use to communicate the details and status of networks to which they are connected. Examples include RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, BGP and IS-IS.They are called dynamic because they can respond to network changes, such as a failed link, a new link or in some cases a change to a link (perhaps a changed bandwidth value). This is in contrast to a static route, which an administrator must type in manually and which cannot automatically respond to network changes.Two routers must be running the same routing protocol to exchange route information; RIP cannot talk directly to OSPF, for example. The router admin must enable the routing protocol, then instruct the router which of its connected networks it should advertise to other routers running the same protocol.

How do igrp and eigrp differ in their metric calculation?

IGRP uses a single composite metric based on bandwidth and delay, while EIGRP uses a composite metric including bandwidth, delay, reliability, load, and MTU. EIGRP also allows for variance in metric calculation to enable load balancing across unequal path costs.
