What is EIGRP ? EIGRP is a Cisco proprietary routing protocol modified from the original IGRP (Interior Routing Protocol). EIGRP is an advanced distance-vector routing protocol, it can only be used in an all-Cisco network, but EIGRP more than makes up for this deficiency by being easy to configure, fast, and reliable. Like the Routing Information Protocol (… Read More »
What are IP Routing Protocols? A routing protocol is a set of rule(s) or standards that determines how routers on a network communicate and exchange information with each other, enabling them to select the best routes to a remote network. Each router has priority knowledge only of networks attached to it directly. Routers running routing protocol share this… Read More »
What are Reflexive ACLs? Reflexive ACLS also known as IP-Session-Filtering ACLs is used to allow traffic sessions from a source network while denying IP traffic for sessions coming from outside the network. It allows a network administrator to dynamically enable a network filtering router to manage session traffic. The router examines the outbound traffic and when it sees… 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 »
