Network loop can create a huge problem in a network. Routing protocols such as RIP and IGRP have their own techniques to stop network loops from occurring at the Network layer of the OSI model. Unfortunately they (routing protocols) cannot be used to stop loops from occurring at …
You can control to access your switch port. For example, you can control who can access a specific interface of a switch or how many devices could be connected to a specific switch interface. There is a feature called Switch Port Security that allow you to do so. …
Etherchannel is a technique that allows you to combine multiple Ethernet switch ports in to a single logical port. Thus help you to combine bandwidth of all port and provide redundancy in case of a single port failure. This technique is also known as NIC Teaming, Link Aggregation, …
In the previous exercises, we have covered the basics of VLANs and its configuration. As discussed earlier, VLANs are used to separate network traffic, enhance network security, and divide a large network in to several small networks. We know that systems belong to one VLAN cannot communicate to …
Introduction to VLAN VLANs are used to segment a large physical LAN into multiple small virtual LANs for better management and greater security. VLANs provide a number advantages and features. Some of the key features provided by VLANs are: VLANs allow to add, move, and change networks with …
A device can be managed either locally or remotely. There are various protocols, tools, and services (such as Telnet, Secure Shell, and Putty) that are used to manager devices remotely. These tools are also referred as remote administration tools. We will use the following simple topology to configure …
We know that a switch has many advantages over a hub. One of the major reason behind switch’s popularity over hub is its Unicast transmission method. A Switch has ability to transmit a frame only to a device that deserve to receive it. For this, switch uses its …
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a service which allows you to configure TCP/ IP settings such as IP address and subnet mask on the clients (PC, laptop, printer, etc.) automatically. Typically, DHCP is configured on a dedicated server for better performance. The server can …
EIGRP for IPv6 or EIGRPv6 is the IPv6 compatible version of EIGRP routing protocol. The basic features of EIGRPv6 routing protocol remain same as EIGRP routing protocol. In order to configure EIGRP for IPv6, first of all, you should be familiar with the basics of EIGRP protocol. To …
Similar to IPv4 compatible routing protocol, there are also IPv6 compatible protocols such as RIPng and EIGRPv6. If your network is based on IPv6 addressing scheme, you have to configure an IPv6 Routing protocol to perform the routing functions. In this lab exercise, we will explain how to …
