Discussion 4

"Route Redistribution and Multiple Routing Protocols"  Please respond to the following:

• Determine one (1) situation in which you would need to utilize route redistribution. Investigate two to three (2-3) of the potential consequences of not using route redistribution in the identified situation. Provide a rationale for your response.
• Explain one (1) situation that would require you to use more than one (1) routing protocol, and examine the manner in which information can be exchanged between those routing protocols.

"Inter-VLAN Routing" Please respond to the following:

• Outline the primary advantages and disadvantages of the inter-VLAN routing methods that were described in the chapter reading. As part of your response, analyze inter-VLAN routing using switch virtual interfaces (SVI), routing with routed ports, and routing with an external router.
• Put yourself in the position of a network manager, and based on your analysis above, decide which method you would choose over the others. Explain your rationale. Determine the way in which you would configure and verify the routing method.
