Understanding Routing In a Network.

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 »

InterVLAN Routing Explained with Examples.

What Is InterVLAN? We define inter-VLAN routing as a process of forwarding network traffic from one VLAN to another VLAN using a router or layer 3 device. A VLAN is a sub-group within a network, which partitions and isolates network traffic at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. VLANs are used to segment networks for… Read More »

How To Troubleshoot and Verify EIGRP Configuration Examples.

EIGRP, or Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol, is a Cisco proprietary routing protocol designed for use within an autonomous system (AS) in an IP network. It is an advanced and efficient routing protocol that combines the benefits of distance vector and link-state routing protocols. EIGRP provides features such as rapid convergence, scalability, and support for multiple network protocols.… Read More »

Extended ACLs Explained with Examples

What are Extended ACLs? Extended Access Control Lists (ACLs) are an advanced security feature used in network devices like routers and switches to provide a finer level of control over network traffic than standard ACLs. While standard ACLs filter traffic based solely on the source IP address, extended ACLs can filter based on multiple criteria, including: Source and… Read More »
