Gold star for chuck
default or static routes work fine and they aint no protocol. So routING
protocols don't route routED protocols it's the route process and probably
some flavor of address resolution that moves packets from one network to
another. I would be intimately familiar with what happens to the MAC and the
route process for the CCIE written.
Routing protocols build and maintain route tables dynamically that is all.
Next question can a routing protocol be contained inside a routed protocol?
The routED, routING definition attempts to make them mutually exclusive..
