Router as a Computer  Describe the basic purpose of a router -Computers that specialize in sending packets over the data network. They are responsible for interconnecting networks by selecting the best path for a packet to travel and forwarding packets to their destination

 Routers are the network center -Routers generally have 2 connections: -WAN connection (Connection to ISP)

-LAN connection

Cisco Public

Router as a Computer  Data is sent in front of packets between 2 end devices  Routers are used to direct packet to its destination

Cisco Public

Router as a Computer  Routers examine a packet’s destination IP address and determine the best path by enlisting the aid of a routing table

Cisco Public

Router as a Computer

 Two major groups of Router Interfaces LAN Interfaces:

Are used to connect router to LAN network Has a layer 2 MAC address

Can be assigned a Layer 3 IP address Usually consist of an RJ-45 jack  WAN Interfaces Are used to connect routers to external networks that interconnect LANs. Depending on the WAN technology, a layer 2 address may be used. Uses a layer 3 IP address © 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.

Cisco Public

Router as a Computer

 Routers and the Network Layer Routers use destination IP address to forward packets The path a packet takes is determined after a router consults information in the routing table. After router determines the best path Packet is encapsulated into a frame Frame is then placed on network medium in form of Bits

Cisco Public

Router as a Computer  Routers Operate at Layers 1, 2 & 3 Router receives a stream of encoded bits Bits are decoded and passed to layer 2

Router de-encapsulates the frame Remaining packet passed up to layer 3 -Routing decision made at this layer by examining destination IP address Packet is then re-encapsulated & sent out outbound interface

Cisco Public

Configure Devices and Apply Addresses  Implementing Basic Addressing Schemes  When designing a new network or mapping an existing network you must provide the following information in the form of a document: -Topology drawing that Illustrates physical connectivity –Address table that provides the following information: Device name

Interfaces used IP addresses Default gateway

Cisco Public

Configure Devices and Apply Addresses  Basic Router Configuration

 A basic router configuration should contain the following: -Router name - Host name should be unique -Banner - At a minimum, banner should warn against unauthorized use -Passwords - Use strong passwords -Interface configurations - Specify interface type, IP address and subnet mask. Describe purpose of interface. Issue no shutdown command. If DCE serial interface issue clock rate command.  After entering in the basic configuration the following tasks should be completed -Verify basic configuration and router operations. -Save the changes on a router

Cisco Public

Show startup-config - Displays configuration file NVRAM Show IP route - Displays routing table Show interfaces - Displays all interface configurations Show IP int brief - Displays abbreviated interface configuration information © 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.

Cisco Public

Routing Table Structure  Routing Table is stored in ram and contains information about: Directly connected networks - this occurs when a device is connected to another router interface

Remotely connected networks - this is a network that is not directly connected to a particular router Detailed information about the networks include source of information, network address & subnet mask, and Ip address of next-hop router

 Show ip route command is used to view a routing table

Cisco Public

Routing Table Structure

 Adding a connected network to the routing table -Router interfaces Each router interface is a member of a different network Activated using the no shutdown command In order for static and dynamic routes to exist in routing table you must have directly connected networks

Cisco Public

Routing Table Structure  Static routes in the routing table -Includes: network address and subnet mask and IP address of next hop router or exit interface -Denoted with the code S in the routing table -Routing tables must contain directly connected networks used to connect remote networks before static or dynamic routing can be used

 When to use static routes -When network only consists of a few routers -Network is connected to internet only through one ISP -Hub & spoke topology is used on a large network

Cisco Public

Routing Table Structure  Connected and Static routes

Cisco Public

Routing Table Structure  Dynamic routing protocols -Used to add remote networks to a routing table -Are used to discover networks

-Are used to update and maintain routing tables

 Automatic network discovery -Routers are able discover new networks by sharing routing table information

Cisco Public

Routing Table Structure  Maintaining routing tables -Dynamic routing protocols are used to share routing information with other router & to maintain and up date their own routing table.

 IP routing protocols. Example of routing protocols include: -RIP -IGRP -EIGRP -OSPF

Cisco Public

Routing Table Structure  Routing Table Principles -3 principles regarding routing tables: Every router makes its decisions alone, based on the information it has in its routing table. Different routing table may contain different information  A routing table can tell how to get to a destination but not how to get back

Cisco Public

Routing Table Structure  Effects of the 3 Routing Table Principles -Packets are forwarded through the network from one router to another, on a hop by hop basis. -Packets can take path “X” to a destination but return via path “Y” (Asymmetric routing).

Cisco Public

Router Paths and Packet Switching  Internet Protocol (IP) packet format contains fields that provide information about the packet and the sending and receiving hosts

 Fields that are importance for CCNA students: -Destination IP address -Source IP address -Version & TTL

-IP header length -Precedence & type of service -Packet length

Cisco Public

Router Paths and Packet Switching  MAC Layer Frame Format  MAC Frames are also divided into fields. They include: -Preamble

-Start of frame delimiter -Destination MAC address -Source MAC address -Type/length

-Data and pad -Frame check sequence

Cisco Public

Router Paths and Packet Switching

 A Metric is a numerical value used by routing protocols help determine the best path to a destination –The smaller the metric value the better the path

 2 types of metrics used by routing protocols are: -Hop count - this is the number of routers a packet must travel through to get to its destination -Bandwidth - this is the “speed” of a link also known as the data capacity of a link

Cisco Public

Router Paths and Packet Switching  Equal cost metric is a condition where a router has multiple paths to the same destination that all have the same metric  To solve this dilemma, a router will use Equal Cost Load Balancing. This means the router sends packets over the multiple exit interfaces listed in the routing table.

Cisco Public

Router Paths and Packet Switching

 Path determination is a process used by a router to pick the best path to a destination  One of 3 path determinations results from searching for the best path Directly connected network Remote network No route determined

Cisco Public

Router Paths and Packet Switching  Switching Function of Router is the process used by a router to switch a packet from an incoming interface to an outgoing interface on the same router. -A packet received by a router will do the following: Strips off layer 2 headers. Examines destination IP address located in Layer 3 header to find best route to destination. Re-encapsulates layer 3 packet into layer 2 frame.

Forwards frame out exit interface.

Cisco Public

Router Paths and Packet Switching ď&#x201A;§ As a packet travels from one networking device to another -The Source and Destination IP addresses NEVER change -The Source & Destination MAC addresses CHANGE as packet is forwarded from one router to the next.

-TTL field decrement by one until a value of zero is reached at which point router discards packet (prevents packets from endlessly traversing the network)

Cisco Public

Router Paths and Packet Switching  Path determination and switching function details. PC1 Wants to send something to PC 2 here is part of what happens Step 1 - PC1 encapsulates packet into a frame. Frame contains R1’s destination MAC address

Cisco Public

Router Paths and Packet Switching Step 2 - R1 receives Ethernet frame. R1 sees that destination MAC address matches its own MAC. R1 then strips off Ethernet frame. R1 Examines destination IP. R1 consults routing table looking for destination IP. After finding destination IP in routing table, R1 now looks up next hop IP address. R1 re-encapsulates IP packet with a new Ethernet frame. R1 forwards Ethernet packet out Fa0/1 interface.

PC1 Wants to send something to PC 2 here is part of what happens Step 4 - Packet arrives at R3 R3 receives PPP frame R3 then strips off PPP frame R3 Examines destination IP R3 consults routing table looking for destination IP After finding destination IP in routing table, R3 is directly connected to destination via its fast Ethernet interface R3 re-encapsulates IP packet with a new Ethernet frame R3 forwards Ethernet packet out Fa0/0 interface Step 5 - IP packet arrives at PC2. Frame is decapsulated & processed by upper layer protocols.

Summary  Routers are computers that specialize in sending data over a network.  Routers are composed of: -Hardware i.e. CPU, Memory, System bus, Interfaces -Software used to direct the routing process IOS Configuration file  Routers need to be configured. Basic configuration consists of: -Router name -Router banner -Password(s) -Interface configurations i.e. IP address and subnet mask  Routing tables contain the following information -Directly connected networks -Remotely connected networks -Network addresses and subnet masks -IP address of next hop address 39 © 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.

Cisco Public

Summary

 Routers determine a packets path to its destination by doing the following Receiving an encapsulated frame & examining destination MAC address. If the MAC address matches then Frame is de-encapsulated so that router can examine the destination IP address.

If destination IP address is in routing table or there is a static route then Router determines next hop IP address. Router will re-encapsulate packet with appropriate layer 2 frame and send it out to next destination. Process continues until packet reaches destination. Note - only the MAC addresses will change the source and destination IP addresses do not change.

Cisco Public

Interfaces

 Verifying Ethernet interface -Show interfaces for fastEthernet 0/0 – command used to show status of fast Ethernet port -Show ip interface brief -Show running-config

 Ethernet interfaces participate in ARP

Cisco Public

Interfaces  Configuring a Serial interface -Enter interface configuration mode -Enter in the ip address and subnet mask

-Enter in the no shutdown command  Example: -R1(config)#interface serial 0/0 -R1(config-if)#ip address 172.16.2.1 255.255.255.0 -R1(config-if)#no shutdown

Cisco Public

Interfaces  Examining Router Interfaces -Physically connecting a WAN Interface. -A WAN Physical Layer connection has sides:

Data Circuit-terminating Equipment (DCE) – This is the service provider. CSU/DSU is a DCE device. Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) – Typically the router is the DTE device.

Cisco Public

Interfaces  Configuring serial links in a lab environment One side of a serial connection must be considered a DCE This requires placing a clocking signal – use the clock rate command. Example: -R1(config)#interface serial 0/0 -R1(config-if)#clockrate 64000 Serial Interfaces require a clock signal to control the timing of the communcations.

Cisco Public

Routing Table and CDP Protocol  Purpose of the debug ip routing command Allows you to view changes that the router performs when adding or removing routes Example: -R2#debug ip routing -IP routing debugging is on

Cisco Public

Routing Table and CDP Protocol  To configure an Ethernet interface Example: -R2(config)#interface fastethernet 0/0

-R2(config-if)#ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0 -R2(config-if)#no shutdown

Cisco Public

Routing Table and CDP Protocol ď&#x201A;§ When a router only has its interfaces configured & no other routing protocols are configured then: -The routing table contains only the directly connected networks -Only devices on the directly connected networks are reachable

Cisco Public

Routing Table and CDP Protocol

Cisco Public

Routing Table and CDP Protocol ď&#x201A;§ Checking each route in turn The ping command is used to check end to end connectivity

Cisco Public

Routing Table and CDP Protocol  Purpose of CDP A layer 2 cisco proprietary tool used to gather information about other directly connected Cisco devices.

Cisco Public

Static Routes with Exit Interfaces ď&#x201A;§ Purpose of a static route A manually configured route used when routing from a network to a stub network

Cisco Public

Static Routes with Exit Interfaces  IP route command To configure a static route use the following command: ip route Example:

-Router(config)# ip route network-address subnet-mask {ipaddress | exit-interface }

Cisco Public

Static Routes with Exit Interfaces  Dissecting static route syntax ip route - Static route command 172.16.1.0 – Destination network address

255.255.255.0 - Subnet mask of destination network 172.16.2.2 - Serial 0/0/0 interface IP address on R2, which is the "next-hop" to this network

Cisco Public

Static Routes with Exit Interfaces ď&#x201A;§ Configuring routes to 2 or more remote networks Use the following commands for R1 -R1(config)#ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.2.2

-R1(config)#ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.2.2

Cisco Public

Static Routes with Exit Interfaces  Zinin’s 3 routing principles Principle 1: "Every router makes its decision alone, based on the information it has in its own routing table.“ Principle 2: "The fact that one router has certain information in its routing table does not mean that other routers have the same information.“ Principle 3: "Routing information about a path from one network to another does not provide routing information about the reverse, or return path."

Cisco Public

Static Routes with Exit Interfaces 

Using Zinin’s 3 routing principles, how would you answer the following? -Would packets from PC1 reach their destination? Yes, packets destined for 172.16.1.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 networks would reach their destination. -Does this mean that any packets from these networks destined for 172.16.3.0/24 network will reach their destination? No, because neither R2 nor R3 router has a route to the 172.16.3.0/24 network.

Cisco Public

Static Routes with Exit Interfaces  Resolving to an Exit Interface -Recursive route lookup - Occurs when the router has to perform multiple lookups in the routing table before forwarding a packet. A static route that forwards all packets to the next-hop IP address goes through the following process (reclusive route lookup) The router first must match static route’s destination IP address with the Next hop address The next hop address is then matched to an exit interface

Cisco Public

Static Routes with Exit Interfaces

 Configuring a Static route with an Exit Interface -Static routes configured with an exit interface are more efficient because the routing –The routing table can resolve the exit interface in a single search instead of 2 searches -Example of syntax require to configure a static route with an exit interface

Cisco Public

Static Routes with Exit Interfaces  Modifying Static routes Existing static routes cannot be modified. The old static route must be deleted by placing no in front of the ip route Example: -no ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.2.2 A new static route must be rewritten in the configuration

Cisco Public

Static Routes with Exit Interfaces  Verifying the Static Route Configuration -Use the following commands Step 1 show running-config

Step 2 verify static route has been entered correctly Step 3 show ip route Step 4 verify route was configured in routing table Step 5 issue ping command to verify packets can reach destination and that Return path is working

Cisco Public

Static Routes with Exit Interfaces  Ethernet interfaces and ARP.

– If a static route is configured on an Ethernet link

-If the packet is sent to the next-hop router then… the destination MAC address will be the address of the next hop’s Ethernet interface This is found by the router consulting the ARP table. If an entry isn’t found then an ARP request will be sent out

Cisco Public

Summary and Default Route  Summarizing routes reduces the size of the routing table.  Route summarization is the process of combining a number of static routes into a single static route.

Cisco Public

Summary and Default Route ď&#x201A;§ Configuring a summary route Step 1: Delete the current static route Step 2: Configure the summary static route

Step 3: Verify the new static route

Cisco Public

Summary and Default Route  Default Static Route This is a route that will match all packets. Stub routers that have a number of static routes all exiting the same interface are good candidates for a default route.

-Like route summarization this will help reduce the size of the routing table

 Configuring a default static route Similar to configuring a static route. Except that destination IP address and subnet mask are all zeros Example: -Router(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 [exit-interface | ipaddress ]

Cisco Public

Summary and Default Route  Static routes and subnet masks The routing table lookup process will use the most specific match when comparing destination IP address and subnet mask

 Default static routes and subnet masks Since the subnet mask used on a default static route is 0.0.0.0 all packets will match.

Cisco Public

Static Routes and Packet Forwarding  Packet forwarding with static routes. (recall Zinin’s 3 routing principles)

 Router 1 Packet arrives on R1’s Fastethernet 0/0 interface R1 does not have a route to the destination network, 192.168.2.0/24 R1 uses the default static route. © 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.

Cisco Public

Static Routes and Packet Forwarding

 Packet forwarding with static routes. (recall Zinin’s 3 routing principles)  Router 2 The packet arrives on the Serial 0/0/0 interface on R2.

R2 has a static route to 192.168.2.0/24 out Serial0/0/1.

Cisco Public

Static Routes and Packet Forwarding  Packet forwarding with static routes. (recall Zinin’s 3 routing principles)  Router 3 The packet arrives on the Serial0/0/1 interface on R3. R3 has a connected route to 192.168.2.0/24 out Fastethernet 0/1.

Cisco Public

Static Routes and Packet Forwarding  Troubleshooting a Missing Route  Tools that can be used to isolate routing problems include: -Ping– tests end to end connectivity -Traceroute– used to discover all of the hops (routers) along the path between 2 points -Show IP route– used to display routing table & ascertain forwarding process -Show ip interface brief- used to show status of router interfaces -Show cdp neighbors detail– used to gather configuration information about directly connected neighbors

Cisco Public

Static Routes and Packet Forwarding  Solving a Missing Route  Finding a missing or mis-configured route requires methodically using the correct tools -Start with PING. If ping fails then use traceroute to determine where packets are failing to arrive

 Issue: show ip route to examine routing table. -If there is a problem with a mis-configured static route remove the static route then reconfigure the new static route

Cisco Public

Summary  Routers -Operate at layer 3 -Functions include best path selection & forwarding packets  Connecting Networks WANs Serial cables are connected to router serial ports. In the lab environment clock rates must be configured for DCE LANs Straight through cables or cross over cables are used to connect to fastethernet port. (The type of cable used depends on what devices are being connected)  Cisco Discovery Protocol A layer 2 proprietary protocol Used to discover information about directly connected Cisco devices

Cisco Public

Summary  Static Routes -This is a manually configured path that specifies how the router will get to a certain point using a certain path.  Summary static routes -This is several static routes that have been condensed into a single static route.  Default route -It is the route packets use if there is no other possible match for their destination in the routing table.  Forwarding of packets when static route is used -Zinin’s 3 routing principles describe how packets are forwarded  Troubleshooting static routes may require some of the following commands: -Ping -Traceroute -Show IP route -Show ip interface brief -Show cdp neighbors detail © 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc.

The Route Lookup Process 



ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 1

Examine level 1 routes -If best match a level 1 ultimate route and is not a parent route this route is used to forward packet Router examines level 2 (child) routes -If there is a match with level 2 child route then that subnet is used to forward packet -If no match then determine routing behavior type Router determines classful or classless routing behavior -If classful then packet is dropped -If classless then router searches level one supernet and default routes -If there exists a level 1 supernet or default route match then Packet is forwarded. If not packet is dropped © 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.

239

Routing Table Lookup Process  Longest Match: Level 1 Network Routes –Best match is also known as the longest match

–The best match is the one that has the most number of left most bits matching between the destination IP address and the route in the routing table.

ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 1

Cisco Public

240

Routing Table Lookup Process  Finding the subnet mask used to determine the longest match Scenario: –PC1 pings 192.168.1.2 –Router examines level 1 route for best match –There exist a match between192.168.1.2 & 192.168.1.0 / 24 –Router forwards packets out s0/0/0

ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 1

Cisco Public

241

Routing Table Lookup Process ď&#x201A;§ The process of matching -1st there must be a match made between the parent route & destination IP -If a match is made then an attempt at finding a match between the destination IP and the child route is made.

ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 1

Cisco Public

242

Routing Table Lookup Process  Finding a match between packet’s destination IP address and the next route in the routing table -The figure shows a match between the destination IP of 192.168.1.0 and the level one IP of 192.168.1.0 / 24 then packet forwarded out s0/0/0

ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 1

Cisco Public

243

Routing Table Lookup Process  Level 1 Parent & Level 2 Child Routes  Before level 2 child routes are examined -There must be a match between classful level one parent route and destination IP address.

ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 1

Cisco Public

244

Routing Table Lookup Process ď&#x201A;§ After the match with parent route has been made Level 2 child routes will be examined for a match -Route lookup process searches for child routes with a match with destination IP

ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 1

Cisco Public

245

Routing Table Lookup Process  How a router finds a match with one of the level 2 child routes -First router examines parent routes for a match -If a match exists then: Child routes are examined Child route chosen is the one with the longest match

ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 1

Cisco Public

246

Routing Table Lookup Process  Example: Route Lookup Process with VLSM -The use of VLSM does not change the lookup process -If there is a match between destination IP address and the level 1 parent route then -Level 2 child routes will be searched

Routing Behavior  Classful Routing Behavior: no ip classless  What happens if there is not a match with any level 2 child routes of the parent? -Router must determine if the routing behavior is classless or classful -If router is utilizing classful routing behavior then -Lookup process is terminated and packet is dropped ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 1

Cisco Public

249

Routing Behavior  Classful Routing Behavior – Search Process  An example of when classful routing behavior is in effect and why the router drops the Packet -The destination’s subnet mask is a /24 and none of the child routes left most bits match the first 24 bits. This means packet is dropped

ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 1

Cisco Public

250

Routing Behavior  Classful Routing Behavior – Search Process  The reason why the router will not search beyond the child routes Originally networks were all classful This meant an organization could subnet a major network address and “enlighten” all the organization’s routers about the subnetting Therefore, if the subnet was not in the routing table, the subnet did not exist and packet was dropped

Link-State Routing Shortest Path First (SPF) Tree  Building a portion of the SPF tree Process begins by examining R2’s LSP information -R1 ignores 1st LSP Reason: R1 already knows it’s connected to R2

ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 1

Cisco Public

341

Link-State Routing  Building a portion of the SPF tree -R1 uses 2nd LSP Reason: R1 can create a link from R2 to R5. This information is added to R1’s SPF tree

342

Link-State Routing  Building a portion of the SPF tree

-R1 uses 3rd LSP Reason: R1 learns that R2 is connected to 10.5.0.0/16. This link is added to R1’s SPF tree.

OSPF Metric  COST of an OSPF route Is the accumulated value from one router to the next

ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 1

Cisco Public

377

OSPF Metric  Usually the actual speed of a link is different than the default bandwidth –This makes it imperative that the bandwidth value reflects link’s actual speed Reason: so routing table has best path information

 The show interface command will display interface’s bandwidth -Most serial link default to 1.544Mbps

382

OSPF in Multiaccess Networks ď&#x201A;§ Extensive flooding of LSAs For every LSA sent out there must be an acknowledgement of receipt sent back to transmitting router.

consequence: lots of bandwidth consumed and chaotic traffic

ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 1

Cisco Public

383

OSPF in Multiaccess Networks  Solution to LSA flooding issue is the use of –Designated router (DR)

–Backup designated router (BDR)

 DR & BDR selection –Routers are elected to send & receive LSA

 Sending & Receiving LSA –DRothers send LSAs via multicast 224.0.0.6 to DR & BDR –DR forward LSA via multicast address 224.0.0.5 to all other routers ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 1

OSPF in Multiaccess Networks  DR/BDR elections will take place on multiaccess networks as shown below

ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 1

Cisco Public

386

OSPF in Multiaccess Networks ď&#x201A;§ Criteria for getting elected DR/BDR 1. DR: Router with the highest OSPF interface priority. 2. BDR: Router with the second highest OSPF interface priority. 3. If OSPF interface priorities are equal, the highest router ID is used to break the tie.

ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 1

Cisco Public

387

OSPF in Multiaccess Networks  Timing of DR/BDR Election –Occurs as soon as 1st router has its interface enabled on multiaccess network When a DR is elected it remains as the DR until one of the following occurs -The DR fails. -The OSPF process on the DR fails. -The multiaccess interface on the DR fails.

ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 1

Cisco Public

388

OSPF in Multiaccess Networks  Manipulating the election process -If you want to influence the election of DR & BDR then do one of the following Boot up the DR first, followed by the BDR, and then boot all other routers,

OR Shut down the interface on all routers, followed by a no shutdown on the DR, then the BDR, and then all other routers.

ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 1

389

OSPF in Multiaccess Networks OSPF Interface Priority

 Manipulating the DR/BDR election process continued –Use the ip ospf priority interface command. –Example:Router(config-if)#ip ospf priority {0 - 255} Priority number range 0 to 255 –0 means the router cannot become the DR or BDR –1 is the default priority value
