Influencing Route Selection

Overview/Description
To manipulate route selection and packet flow using administrative distance and policy-based routing

Target Audience
Network engineers responsible for configuring, implementing, troubleshooting, and managing medium-to-large routed networks in an enterprise or service provider environment; network architects responsible for designing networks that support multiple routing protocol types; CCNP, CCDP, and CCIP candidates; CCIE routing and switching candidates

Prerequisites
A good understanding of networking terms, topologies, and the OSI reference model; familiarity with TCP/IP and configuring IP address schemes, including subnetting and variable-length subnet masking (VLSM); experience of operating and configuring Cisco routers for general use and configuring basic routing protocol implementations

Expected Duration
100 Minutes

Objectives:

Influencing Route Selection

  • list the benefits of manipulating administrative distance, outline its impact on routing tables, and use it to make configuration changes to the route selection process.
  • recognize the advantages of policy-based routing and determine how to configure and verify policy-based routing.
  • configure policy-based routing.
  • configure route redistribution from RIPv2 into OSPF.
  • configure a route map to translate metrics from RIP to OSPF to aid in redistribution.
  • configure policy-based routing to exert the maximum administrative control over how traffic is handled.
