Summary

Enterprise networks are hierarchical

Networks use static and dynamic routing to move information

Dynamic routing protocols are classified as either distance vector or link state

RIP is a distance vector routing protocol

EIGRP is a Cisco proprietary distance vector routing protocol with many advanced features

EIGRP works best if its default features are modified to suit the routing situation
