Cisco Layer 2 Switch Functions

January 25, 2011

Layer 2 switch is A network device that forwards traffic based on MAC layer (Ethernet or Token Ring) addresses. Bridging technology has been around since the 1980s (and maybe even earlier). Bridging involves segmentation of local-area networks (LANs) at the Layer 2 level. A multiport bridge typically learns about the Media Access Control (MAC) addresses [...]

User Datagram Protocol (UDP)

January 24, 2011

User Datagram Protocol (UDP) supports the network at the transport layer. User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is an unreliable connection-less protocol and is defined by RFC 768 and 1122. It is a datagram service. There is no guarantee that the data will reach its destination. UDP is meant to provide serivce with very little transmission overhead. [...]

Address Resolution Protocol

January 24, 2011

ARP and RARP Address Translation Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) provides a completely different function to the network than Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP). ARP is used to resolve the ethernet address of a NIC from an IP address in order to construct an ethernet packet around an IP data packet. This must happen in order [...]

Again Domain Name Service (DNS)

January 24, 2011

Host Names Domain Name Service (DNS) is the service used to convert human readable names of hosts to IP addresses. Host names are not case sensitive and can contain alphabetic or numeric letters or the hyphen. Avoid the underscore. A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) consists of the host name plus domain name as in [...]

Virtual Private Networking (VPN)

January 24, 2011

The most confusing part of VPN is that many acronyms show up. This is partly because VPN requires data encryption to be “private” and there are many encryption techniques and terms. Also there are many complicated security issues relating to VPN concerning encryption and user authentication. This section will first explain the concept and methodology [...]

Little About Dynamic Routing

January 24, 2011

Dynamic routing performs the same function as static routing except it is more robust. Static routing allows routing tables in specific routers to be set up in a static manner so network routes for packets are set. If a router on the route goes down the destination may become unreachable. Dynamic routing allows routing tables [...]

Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)

January 24, 2011

Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is the protocol used to support multicasting. To use multicasting, a process on a host must be able to join and leave a group. A process is a user program that is using the network. Group access is identified by the group address and the interface (NIC). A host must [...]

Broadcasting and Multicasting

January 24, 2011

Network interface cards are usually programmed to listen for three types of messages. They are messages sent to their specific address, messages broadcast to all NICs, and messages that qualify as a multicast for the specific card. There are three types of addressing: 1. Unicast – A transmission to a single interface card. 2. Multicast [...]

Little about DHCP

January 24, 2011

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) This protocol is used to assign IP addresses to hosts or workstations on the network. Usually a DHCP server on the network performs this function. Basically it “leases” out address for specific times to the various hosts. If a host does not use a given address for some period of [...]

Access list types

January 21, 2011

There are three basic types of IP access lists: standard, extended, and dynamic extended. Standard access lists use source addressing for applying rules and provide very basic forms of filtering. Extended access lists use both source and destination addresses for filtering and even allow filtering by protocol type. This allows a more granular method of [...]

How To Disable CDP on Cisco switches

January 21, 2011

Cisco Discover Protocol or CDP is a Cisco-proprietary protocol that runs on all Cisco products. CDP allows devices to learn about neighboring devices (the ones attached directly to the switch) including information about their platform, IP address, the version of IOS or other OS, VLAN membership, etc. This can be helpful information when troubleshooting network [...]

Communication Devices in Computer Network

January 21, 2011

An electronic device that can send and receive data on the network is called the communication device. The communication devices are used on both ends of the connections. Most of the communication devices have the ability to convert the digital signal of computer into analog signal so that the signals can be transmitted on the [...]
