Question

All dynamic routing protocols have an administrative distance and require a routing metric.
i). Differentiate between administrative distance and routing metric.
ii). Identify and describe any FOUR routing metrics found in routing protocols that run
on IP networks.

Expert Solution
Step 1

i)

Admin Distance - Is a number denoting how believable an entire routing protocol is on a single router(This is useful when a router is running many routing protocols and cant decide which to use) (The lower it is, the more believable it is)

Metrics - A number denoting the best route (to reach a subnet) in a single routing protocol on a single router (Useful when a routing protocol has many routes to a single network and cant decide which to use) (The lower it is, the more believable it is)
