What is Site-to-Site VPNs? Site-to-site VPNs securely connect entire organisation networks together; e.g. site-to-site VPNs can be used to connect a branch or remote office network to a company headquarters network. It allow multiple locations to securely connect to each other over the internet, creating a virtual network that spans across different physical sites. This type of VPN… 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 »
Stateless DHCPv6 Server and Client Auto-configuration. DHCPv6 Stateless Configuration is a method used in IPv6 networks to provide additional network configuration information to devices, while the devices generate their own IPv6 addresses independently. Key aspects include: Address Autoconfiguration: Devices configure their own IPv6 addresses using Router Advertisements, a process known as SLAAC (Stateless Address Autoconfiguration). DHCPv6 Server Role:… Read More »
Understanding IP Addresses. An IP address is uniquely used to identify a device on an IP network. The address is made up of 32 binary bits, which can be divisible into a network portion and host portion with the help of a subnet mask. The 32 binary bits are broken into four octets (1 octet = 8 bits). Each… Read More »
