Other factors may still disrupt your network even if you have properly configured the switches in your VTP domain. These factors can negatively impact the operation of VTP. The topology diagram below is configured with VTP. There is one VTP server switch, SW1, and two VTP client switches, SW2 and SW3. SW1, SW2, and SW3 are configured with the same VTP domain name… Read More »
IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6) is the most recent version of the Internet Protocol (IP). It was developed to address the limitations of the predecessor, IPv4. Here are its key aspects in a concise form: Larger Address Space: IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses, significantly expanding the number of available IP addresses compared to the 32-bit system of IPv4. This… Read More »
Routing is the process of taking a packet from one network device and sending it through the network to another device on a different network. Communications across the Internet is one of the best examples of routing. The connection of WANs and LANs to a network router and configuring it with logical network addresses (IP addresses) to all… Read More »
What is the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)? STP is used by switches to prevent loops from occurring on a network, this process is implemented by using the spanning tree algorithm to disable unwanted links and blocking ports that could cause a loop. Here are the key points about STP: Purpose: In a network with multiple paths between switches,… Read More »
How to Configure DHCPV6 Stateful Auto-configuration (Server and Client ) DHCPv6 Stateful Auto-configuration is a method used in IPv6 networks to assign IP addresses and other network configuration information to devices automatically. Unlike the stateless auto-configuration in IPv6, which allows devices to generate their own addresses using local network information, stateful configuration relies on a DHCPv6 server to… Read More »
