%n the small net#or* at 1ogan $nterprises2 it is not necessary to abandon '%P in order to implement 34S5. %f the
company #ants to implement a 34S5 scheme #ith the least amount of di ruption2 it can con6ert the net#or* to
'%P 6ersion 2 using the no auto7summary command. ,dditionally2 '%P62 supports authentication so the company
can implement 34S5 and add to the net#or*+s security. Finally2 by staying #ith '%P622 the company #ill not need
to pay for costly hard#are upgrades on routers. !he o6erall effect of using '%P62 #ill be meeting the company+s

Conner2 %nc. must be running a net#or* of all Cisco routers or it #ould not be able to run the Cisco proprietary
protocol %&'P. !herefore2 the company can choose to run $%&'P or OSPF. !he main ad6antage $%&'P has o6er
OSPF in this scenario is its ability to automatically redistribute %&'P. (ue to this feature2 the net#or* can be
upgraded in a piecemeal fashion 6ery easily. %f you use OSPF2 more comple redistribution commands #ould be
necessary. Of course2 OSPF has the ad6antage of allo#ing areas to be created to control routing traffic. So2 the
ans#er to this case pro)ect could be either protocol2 depending on ho# the student decides to support the case. %f
the student belie6es controlling routing update traffic is most important2 then OSPF is a better choice. %f the
student #ants faster con6ergence #ith minimal configuration problems2 $%&'P is the protocol of choice.
