Subtitles of the Movie (CompTIA Network+ (2009 Objectives) / IP Routing / Hybrid Routing Protocols)
You're going to see Hybrid Routing Protocols mentioned on the Network+ Exam in all likelihood, and I'm going to show you the one that they mention on their objectives, that you're going to tend to see most often on the Exam, as a matter of fact, it's the only one I've heard of, on the Exam. But first of all let's talk about what a Hybrid Routing Protocol is. Mentioned in some previous videos about Link State and Distance Vector, you know one's for smaller networks, and ones for larger networks, and different people like different things about each one. They have advantages, disadvantages, well as it turns out, there are times when you need Link State, and there are other times, when you actually need Distance Vector, and so a Hybrid Routing Protocol, obviously is just kind of a mish mash of both of these. Now the most, kind of well known, or the Hybrid Routing Protocol, you'll probably going to see on your Exam, is one called EIGRP. Now one of the funny things in IT right now, are the various pronunciations for all these acronyms that keep showing up, and we're now at the point, that it's common now, to hear a lot of people arguing even over how to pronounce the acronym, not even what they mean, but just how to pronounce them. This is another hotly debated one, some Cisco people call this E Grip, some call it EI Grip, it's EIGRP, call it whatever you want to, but that stands for Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol. Now this was developed and is used by Cisco on a lot of their routers, it is more efficient than other Protocols for a lot of different reasons, that we won't get into here, but the bottom line is, is that the metrics used by one Protocol, can be translated to the other. So in other words, you kind of get the best of both worlds here. It'll behave as, kind as, Link State, grab those metrics, it can convert those into over what the Distance Vector Protocol is looking to use, and so again, bottom line, you're just getting this mish mash of both of these. Now as a result of that, you also get some other advantages, and that is, this can also be used on Apple Talk, and Novel networks, in other words, not just IP networks. So this is kind of some cool stuff. It allows these other homogenous networks to connect and share information, so not just IP networks, because the whole worlds not on an IP network. Sure the Internet is, but you may see some private networks, that you don't use IP, for security reasons, for backward compatibility because they've had it for years, they don't want to, can't afford to, any other reason, convert to IP, but the Hybrid Routing Protocol that you're likely to see on the Network+ Exam is EIGRP, just know it's developed and used by Cisco. It's Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol, and it is just really a mish mash, it's a hybrid of Link State, and Distance Vector Routing, and you don't have to go any deeper than that on Network+. But again, like I've said in all the other videos, go do some homework on this thing, read up on it, just a little bit, and start to learn more about it. Because you will bump into this out in the real world.
