How To Authenticate MD5 for BGP Peers. BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) Peers MD5 Authentication is a security feature used in BGP, the protocol that manages how packets are routed across the internet through different networks (autonomous systems). This feature enhances security by establishing a secure connection between BGP peers (routers) using MD5 (Message Digest 5) hashing. Key Points… Read More »
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a complex, advanced distance routing protocol utilized primarily for exchanging routing information between major Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and larger client sites. It uses the Best Path Selection Algorithm to choose efficient routes, supporting the complexity of the public internet.
What Is CIDR? CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) was introduced in 1993 (RCF 1517) replacing the previous generation of IP address syntax – classful networks. CIDR allowed for more efficient use of IPv4 address space and prefix aggregation, known as route summarization or supernetting. CIDR introduction allowed for: CIDR allows routers to group routes to reduce the bulk of… Read More »
What is CDP? Cisco discovery protocol is a layer 2 protocol (OSI) that operates between Cisco devices such as routers and switches. CDP displays information about the directly connected devices such as device ID, Platform, connected interface, IOS versions, and layer 3 IP address. Key Features of CDP Device Discovery: CDP helps network administrators in discovering Cisco devices… Read More »
This page includes basic feature-by-feature configuration procedures, I must assume you have generated your IP addressing scheme for your network. After your router boots, the following prompt displays: Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialogue [yes]: Enter no. You want to clear an old configuration out of your router and return it to a factory default configuration.… Read More »
