related to network topics such a routing and switching. may include also some topics related to doing qos infrastructure management and administration
In this post, we work on our understading of the operation of RIP and how split horizon rule work Lab setup In our setup, R1 and R2 routers are in RIP domain and exchange information about loopback 0 and 1 networks. R1 is participating also to a static routing domain and advertises loopback 88 and…
In this blog let’s study from the source multicast routing Introduction This blog is a part of a serie of articles about multicast routing: Previously, we’ve introduced multicast routing and PIM protocol operation in dense mode. In this blog, we’ll check the operation PIM multicast routing protocol from the source perspective. The lab setup The…
In this post we explore the operation of static routing, epecially the use of the metric feature, in a network that already runs an IGP (RIP routing protocol). Network setup In our 3 routers RIP network, both R1 and R3 advertise 13.13.13.13/32 network into RIP domain R3 is configured to offset (to add) all network…
In this blog let’s study PIM dense multicast routing. Introduction This post is a part of a serie of posts that introduce the operation of multicast routing: We explore in this post, the operation of PIM multicast routing protocol in the by default operation mode PIM Dense mode. The idea is very simple: flood the…
This post is a part of series of posts about RIP dynamic routing protocol. Here we deepen our understanding on how RIP protocol advertises learnt RIP routes. A simple case is where a route is in the middle of this update process dans got a better route than RIP. Introduction Let’s recall first that RIP…
RIP is Routing Information Protocol, one of the IGP or Interior Gateway Porotocols called also a vector-based routing protocol in contrast with link-state, hybrid or path-based protocols. The function of this protocol is very simple, send updates about known networks through local interfaces enabled for this sending… In this lab we use a standard version…
