- The simplicity of RIP. Loop handling. Convergence. Message handling.
- Subnet routing, security. Multicast broadcasting, SNMP administration.
- External route management, Next Hop. Authentication.
- The EIGRP protocol.
- Multiple metrics. Best path selection. Loop processing, Split Horizon. Poison Reverse. Convergence.
- DUAL broadcast update algorithm. Hello and RTP protocols. External route management.
- Feasable Distance Possible Successor. Neighborhood. Topology. Configure EIGRP.
- Implement load sharing. Operator action on route selection.
- Globalization or not of subnets. Routing filtering: access lists.
- Compare convergence between EIGRP and RIP2. Configure authentication.
Hands-on work
RIP2 configuration commands on LAN, WAN. Validate limits. Implementing a network interconnection. Creating problems and debugging actions on RIP2. Implement EIGRP IP network interconnection. Implement load balancing.
3 Link-state routing
- Basic concepts. Database and topology. Link states.
- The OSPF protocol. Metrics and multiple paths: traffic distribution.
- The role of neighborhoods in rapid convergence.
- Hierarchical network with backbone and zones. The notion of designated router. Secure broadcasting of link status.

-Competent trainer, extremely enthusiastic during the explanations/laboratories (practical work) (which is positive)-The course material perhaps lacks detail on the various commands used (specific to CISCO)It happens that certain commands are used without knowing in detail what they are used for in practice-The use of capture files could be interesting for a quick demonstration of exchanges between nodes by providing details on the headers.
