Episode 101: Dynamic Routing Protocols — Distance Vector and RIP

This episode introduces dynamic routing protocols, focusing on distance vector protocols such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP). Distance vector protocols determine the best path based on hop count, periodically sharing routing tables with neighbors. While simple, they are less efficient for large networks. The exam highlights RIP and distance vector methods because they represent foundational routing concepts.Examples include small networks using RIP for ease of configuration, with troubleshooting scenarios such as routing loops caused by slow convergence or incorrect hop count limits. You’ll also learn how distance vector contrasts with link-state protocols, preparing you to recognize differences on the exam. By mastering these basics, you’ll build the knowledge needed to evaluate when distance vector routing is appropriate and how it operates in real-world settings.
