Differences

IGRP
1.It can be used in large internetwork 2.It uses autonomous no. system 3.It gives full routing table update every 90 sec. 4.It has ! of 100 ".#a$imum hop count is 2""

RIP
1.I works best in smaller networks 2.It does not use autonomous no. system 3.It gives full routing table update every 30 sec. 4.It has ! of 120 ".#a$imum hop count is 1"

OSPF
1.%ink &tate 'rotocol 2.&upports (%&# 3.&upports )lassless routing

RIPV1
1.!istant vector 'rotocol 2.!oes not support (%&# 3.&upports )lassful routing

SWITCH
1.It has higher no. of port*+ to 100 2.-oth &oftware and .ardware based 3.&peed is faster 4.#altiple &panning tree

BRIDGE
1.It has ma$imum 1, port 2./nly &oftware based 3.&peed is slower 4.&ingle &panning tree

ROUTER
1.It is %ayer03 device 2.It sends packet 3.I/& based 4.It can break broadcast ".1ransmission is slower ,. It has less no. of ports 2. It has more security

SWITCH
1.It is generally %ayer02 device 2.It sends frame 3.-oth I/& and .ardware based 4.It can not break broadcast ".1ransmission is faster ,. It has more ports. 2. It has less security

HUB
1. It works at physical layer 2. /nly hardware based 3. It is physically -3& topology but logically &tar topology 4. 'hysical bandwidth and %ogical bandwidth is same ". !ose not maintain # ) address table ,. ll the ports create a single collision domain

SWITCH
1. It works at data0link layer 2. -oth &oftware and .ardware based 3. It is &tar topology in both physically and logically 4. %ogical bandwidth is multiple of physical bandwidth ". #aintain # ) address table ,. 4ach port create separate collision domain

LAYER 3 SWITCH
1. %ayer 3 switch has ) # table and 5Itable 2. 7ot necessary to assign different 7etwork ddress in each interface

ROUTER
1. 6outer has only routing table 2. 4ach interface must be with different 7etwork ddress
