What is Route poisoning in networking?

Route poisoning is a method to prevent a router from sending packets through a

route that has become invalid within computer networks. ... Unlike the split horizon
with poison reverse, route poisoning provides for sending updates with unreachable hop
counts immediately to all the nodes in the network.
What is RIP in networking?

• Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a dynamic routing protocol that uses hop count as a
routing metric to find the best path between the source and the destination network. It is a
distance-vector routing protocol that has an AD value of 120 and works on the application layer of
the OSI model. RIP uses port number 520.
What is RIP v2?

• When it comes to internal routing protocols, Routing Information Protocol version 2 (RIPv2) is
one of the most common routing protocols in use today. ... RIPv2 is a valuable tool that provides
quick and simple IP routing, and it should be in every network administrator's toolbox.
What is EIGRP in networking?

• Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) is a network protocol that enables routers
to exchange information more efficiently than earlier network protocols, such as Interior Gateway
Routing Protocol (IGRP) or Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
