It’s widely used for network traffic analysis and forms the basis for a variety of network management and security applications. Here’s a brief overview of how NetFlow works: Data Collection: NetFlow-enabled devices, like routers and switches, keep… Read More »
What Is iBGP? Interior Border Gateway Protocol (iBGP) is a part of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) family, which is used for exchanging routing information within a single Autonomous System (AS). An AS is essentially a large network or group of networks under a common administration, often belonging to an organization or an internet service provider. Here are… Read More »
What Is InterVLAN? We define inter-VLAN routing as a process of forwarding network traffic from one VLAN to another VLAN using a router or layer 3 device.
