Part II- Quick Interview questions on Routing

 As per my earlier article on Quick interview question on Networking and Switching, Now I am coming up with the Quick interview question on Routing.

Lets have a Quick Interview questions on Routing now

Basics
  • What is Router and Routing ?
  • What is the difference between router and switch ?
  • What is the difference between the static and dynamic routing protocols ?
  • What is the difference between distance vector and Link state routing protocols ?
  • What is the AD value of RIP, EIGRP, OSPF and BGP ?
  • How we can define the static routing in the network ?

Dynamic Protocols- Internal Routing Protocols
  • What is the difference between RIPv1, RIPv2 and RIPv3 ?
  • How route is calculated in EIGRP protocol ?
  • What is the EIGRP Stuck in Active state and how it can be resolved ?
  • What is EIGRP passive interface ?
  • What is EIGRP stub routing feature ?
  • What are the different route types in EIGRP ?
  • What is the offset list in EIGRP and how it is useful ?
  • What are the neighbor states of OSPF and how it works ?
  • What are the different types of areas and the routers used in OSPF ?
  • What are the different types of route in OSPF ?
  • Why are loopbacks /32 is advertised in OSPF ?
  • What is the purpose of variable IP-OSPF-Transmit-Delay ?
  • What is the difference between ABR and ASBR routers in OSPF ?
  • How many LSA's are there in the OSPF with full description?
  • How DR/BDR select in the OSPF area ?
  • What is the use of the P-bit in the OSPF ?
  • How we can configure the OSPF on the router ?
  • How we redistribute in the OSPF ?
Exterior Gateway Routing Protocol
  • What is the AD value of BGP ?
  • Port number of BGP ?
  • Attributes of BGP ?
  • Synchronisation rule in BGP ?

  • What is AS ?
  • How we can configure BGP on the routers ?
  • What is the difference between always compared and deterministic MED ?
  • What is the purpose if Route reflector and confederation ?
  • How we can use Route reflection and what is the cluster and originate ID ?
  • What is BGP peer group and why we are using it ?
  • What are the various regular expression we are using in the BGP and what is the purpose of these ?
  • What are various BGP community attributes and what is the purpose of that communities ?
  • What is route-map, Prefix-List and filter-list in BGP, How we are using these for inbound and outbound traffic in BGP ?
  • What is the difference between Local-Preference and AS-Path ?
  • What is AS-prepand, AS-override and Local-AS features ?
