Course Overview This course will provide the student with a basic understanding of routers and their role in internetworking and packet forwarding. Routing basics including IP addressing, static routes, route tables, and route aggregation will be covered to provide a foundation enabling the student to learn the concepts and frameworks of the various dynamic <a href="/keyword/routing-protocols/" >routing protocols</a> . Students will examine in detail RIP, RIPv2, IGRP, EIGRP, OSPFv2, and IS-IS. In addition, route control and interoperability topics such as route redistribution, route filtering, and route maps will be covered.
