Routing Protocols and Traffic Forwarding | Network Fundamentals Part 19

Ready to continue your routing journey? Surely you’ve noticed that it can be a pain to configure static routes all the time. It takes forever, they’re difficult to troubleshoot, they don’t adapt to network changes very well, and it’s easy to make a typo. The alternative is dynamic routing. Dynamic routing protocols, such as RIP, EIGRP, OSPF, and BGP help us as they’re more aware of what’s going on. For example, if there’s a fault, they are able to route traffic along a different path. We’ll be diving into RIP in the next video, but before we do that, you need to understand a few rules that routers follow.
