43.1.1.3 Choosing routing protocol
It is a complex procedure to choose routing protocol. When you choose the routing protocol, consider the
following items:
Size and complexity of the network
Whether the length-various network need be supported
Network traffic
Safety requirements
Reliability requirements
Strategy
Others
Details of the above items are not described in the section. We just want to remind you that your network
requirements must be satisfied when you choose the routing protocols.
43.1.1.4 IGRP
Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) is used for network targets in an autonomous system. All IP IGRPs
must be connected with networks when they are started up. Each routing process monitors the update
message from other routing switches in the network and broadcasts its routing message in the network at the
same time. The IGRPs that our routing switches support include:
RIP
OSPF
BEIGRP
43.1.1.5 EGRP
Exterior Gateway Routing Protocol (EGRP) is used to exchange routing information between different
autonomonous systems. Neighbors to exchange routes, reachable network and local autonomonous system
number generally need to be configured. The EGRP protocol that our switch supports is BGP.
43.1.2 Configuring IP Address Task List
An essential and mandatory requirement for IP configuration is to configure the IP address on the network
interface of the routing switch. Only in this case can the network interface be activated, and the IP address
can communicate with other systems. At the same time, you need to confirm the IP network mask.
To configure the IP addressing, you need to finish the following tasks, among which the first task is mandatory
and others are optional.
For creating IP addressing in the network, refer to section 1.4 “IP Addressing Example.”
Followed is an IP address configuration task list:
Configuring IP address at the network interface
Configuring multiple IP addresses at the network interface
Configuring address resolution
Configuring routing process
Configuring broadcast text management
Detecting and maintaining IP addressing
