Cards

Term
CPU
Definition
executes operating system instructions, such as system initialization, routing functions, and switching functions
Term
show version
Definition

can be used to help verify and troubleshoot some of the basic hardware and software components of the router.

 

The command displays information about the Cisco IOS software currently running on the router, the bootstrap program, and information about the hardware configuration, including the amount of system memory.

Term
metric
Definition
the quantitative value used to measure the distance to a given route
Term
Serial interfaces
Definition
require a clock signal to control the timing of the communications. In most environments, the service provider (a DCE device such as a CSU/DSU) will provide the clock. By default, Cisco routers are DTE devices.
Term
recursive lookup
Definition
When the router has to perform multiple lookups in the routing table before forwarding a packet
Term
autonomous system
Definition
otherwise known as a routing domain - is a collection of routers under a common administration.
Term
distance vector
Definition
routes are advertised as vectors of distance and direction. Distance is defined in terms of a metric such as hop count and direction is simply the next-hop router or exit interface.
Term
convergence
Definition
when all routers' routing tables are at a state of consistency. when all routers have complete and accurate information about the network.
Term
metric
Definition
A value used by routing protocols to assign costs to reach remote networks. Used to determine which path is most preferable when there are multiple paths to the same remote network.
Term
cost
Definition
A value determined either by the IOS or by the network administrator to indicate preference for a route. Can represent a metric, a combination of metrics or a policy.
Term
reliability
Definition
Assesses the probability of a link failure, calculated from the interface error count or previous link failures
Term
load
Definition
Considers the traffic utilization of a certain link
Term
route poisoning
Definition
used to mark the route as unreachable in a routing update that is sent to other routers. Unreachable is interpreted as a metric that is set to the maximum. For RIP, a poisoned route has a metric of 16.
Term
split horizon with poison reverse
Definition

when sending updates out a specific interface, designate any networks that were learned on that interface as unreachable

 

a specific circumstance that overrides split horizon. 

Term
supernet
Definition
summarizes multiple network addresses with a mask less than the classful mask.
Term
redistribution
Definition
involves taking the routes from one routing source and sending those routes to another routing source
Term
level 1 route
Definition
a route with a subnet mask equal to or less than the classful mask of the network address.
Term
supernet route
Definition
a network address with a mask less than the classful mask.
Term
hello packets
Definition
used by EIGRP to discover neighbors and to form adjacencies with those neighbors
Term
update packets
Definition
used by EIGRP to propagate routing information. Packets are sent only when necessary. Contain only the routing information needed and are sent only to those routers that require it. Use reliable delivery
Term
acknowledgement packets
Definition
sent by EIGRP when reliable delivery is used
Term
query and reply packets
Definition

used by DUAL when searching for networks and other tasks.

 

 

 

Queries and replies use reliable delivery. Queries use multicast, whereas replies are always sent as unicast. 

Term
DUAL FSM
Definition
tracks all routes, uses its metric to select efficient, loop-free paths, and selects the routes with the least cost path to insert into the routing table.
Term
successor
Definition
a neighboring router that is used for packet forwarding and is the least-cost route to the destination network
Term
feasible distance
Definition

the lowest calculated metric to reach the destination network.  

 

it is the metric listed in the routing table entry as the second number inside the brackets. As with other routing protocols this is also known as the metric for the route. 

Term
feasible successor
Definition
neighbor who has a loop-free backup path to the same network as the successor by satisfying the feasibility condition
Term
feasibility condition
Definition
met when a neighbor's reported distance (RD) to a network is less than the local router's feasible distance to the same destination network.
Term
reported distance
Definition

an EIGRP neighbor's feasible distance to the same destination network

 

The metric that a router reports to a neighbor about its own cost to that network. 

Term
hello packet
Definition
EIGRP packet used to discover, verfiy, and rediscover neighboring routers
Term
dead interval
Definition
the period, expressed in seconds, that the router will wait to receive a Hello packet before declaring the neighbor "down."
Term
Designated Router (DR)
Definition
responsible for updating all other OSPF router when a change occurs in the multiaccess network.
Term
OSPF process ID
Definition
locally significant, which means that it does not have to match other OSPF routers in order to establish adjacencies with those neighbors.
Term
OSPF area
Definition
a group of routers that share link-state information. All routers must have the same link-state information in their link-state databases.
Term
OSPF router ID
Definition
used to uniquely identify each router in the OSPF routing domain. it is simply an IP address.
Term
FULL state
Definition
means that the router and its neighbor have identical OSPF link-state databases.
Term
SPF Schedule Delay
Definition
A flapping link can cause OSPF routers in an area to constantly recalculate the SPF algorithm, preventing proper convergence. To minimize this problem, the router waits 5 seconds (5000 msecs) after receiving an LSU before running the SPF algorithm.
Term
multiaccess network
Definition
network with more than two devices on the same shared media
Term
Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR)
Definition
This router is sometimes called the edge, entrance or gateway router. However, in OSPF terminology, the router located between an OSPF routing domain and a non-OSPF network
Term
Router(config-if)#ip summary-address eigrp as-number network-address subnet-mask
Definition
To establish EIGRP manual summarization on all interfaces that send EIGRP packets, use the following interface command
Term

network 10.1.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 0

 

(ospf)

Definition
tells the router to enable the interface for the routing process
Term
show ip ospf  database command
Definition
is used to verify the OSPF LSDB
