World of Computer Networking Your CCNA start - Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) versus Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP)

The video tutorial explains the concept of autonomous systems and the routing protocols used within and between them. It distinguishes between Interior Gateway Protocols (IGP) like OSPF, EIGRP, and RIP, which are used within an autonomous system, and Exterior Gateway Protocols (EGP) like BGP, which are used for global routing between autonomous systems. The tutorial also highlights the differences between IGP and EGP, focusing on the types of IP addresses they handle and their routing information exchange. Finally, it discusses the types of routing protocols, such as link state and distance vector, and how they calculate metrics to determine the best path to a destination network.

What is the primary function of an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP)?

• To exchange routing information within an autonomous system

• To manage global routing across the internet

• To exchange routing information between different autonomous systems

• To provide security for network communications

Which protocol is used for global routing between autonomous systems?

• BGP

• OSPF

• RIP

• EIGRP

What type of IP addresses are typically exchanged using EGP?

• Local IP addresses

• Both private and public IP addresses

• Public IP addresses

• Private IP addresses

Which of the following is NOT an example of an IGP protocol?

• RIP

• EIGRP

• BGP

• OSPF

What is the main difference between link-state and distance-vector routing protocols?

• The type of IP addresses they handle

• The method of calculating the best path to a destination

• The number of routers they can manage

• The speed of data transmission
