What Is IP Address Wildcards? An IP address wildcard is a method used in network configurations to specify a range of IP addresses. CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) is a method for allocating IP addresses and routing Internet Protocol packets. It was introduced in the early 1990s as a replacement for the traditional class-based IP addressing scheme, with the… Read More »

Routing Information Protocol Version 2 – RIPv2. RIPv2 is a classless, distance vector routing protocol as defined in RFC 1723. Being a classless routing protocol, means, it includes the subnet mask with the network addresses in its routing updates. As with other classless routing protocols, RIPv2 supports CIDR supernets, VLSM and discontiguous networks. Due to the deficiencies of RIPv1, RIP version 2 (RIPv2) was developed in… Read More »
What is Static Route? Static routing is when network administrators manually add or configure routes on each router interface with IP addresses. This can be a challenging task, particularly in the management of large networks. Dynamic routing protocols, on the other hand, automate the process of updating routing tables and exchanging route information between routers. This can greatly… Read More »
VTY (Virtual Teletype) Telnet access refers to a method of remote access to a network device, such as a router or switch, through the Telnet protocol using virtual terminal lines. This method is widely used in network management. Let’s break down these concepts for a comprehensive understanding: Virtual Teletype (VTY): VTY is a virtual port on a network… Read More »
