What Is Netflow? NetFlow is a network protocol developed by Cisco Systems for collecting IP traffic information and monitoring network flow. It’s widely used for network traffic analysis and forms the basis for a variety of network management and security applications. Here’s a brief overview of how NetFlow works: Data Collection: NetFlow-enabled devices, like routers and switches, keep… Read More »
IPv6 Address Expression and Examples Unlike the 32-bit with four 8-bit fields of IPv4 address, separated by dots; IPv6 processes a larger, 128-bit and uses colons to separate its 16-bit hexadecimal entries. Below explains how to shorten the IPv6 address: Lets use the IPv6 address: 2041:0000:130F:0000:0000:07C0:853A:140B. The Leading zeros in a field are optional. That means: the field 07C0 equals 7C0, and… Read More »
What Is EIGRP? EIGRP stands for Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol. It is a Cisco proprietary advanced distance vector routing protocol used for routing decisions within a computer network. EIGRP is designed to efficiently handle large and complex enterprise networks while providing fast convergence and minimal network traffic. Key Features of EIGRP: Advanced Distance Vector Protocol: EIGRP is… Read More »
PPP performs Layer 2 authentication through protocols such as PAP and CHAP. These protocols require the remote device to prove its identity before allowing data traffic transmission, bolstering network security.
The content provides instructions on how to configure point-to-point encapsulation, software compression, link quality monitoring, and load balancing across links on Cisco router interfaces R1, R2, and R3.
