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 »
What Is Multi-Area OSPFv3? Before we look at Multi-area OSPF, you must understand OSPF single-area concepts and configuration. OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a classless (supports VLSM and CIDR.), Link State Routing Protocol with an Administrative distance (AD) of 110. OSPF is more efficient than distant vector routing protocols, any routing changes trigger OSPF routing updates which are propagated… Read More »
IP Subnet allows you to create multiple logical networks that exist within a single Class A, B, or C network. In IP Subnetting, you can divide a large network into smaller subnetworks, which can improve overall network performance and security. Subnetting also helps in optimizing the allocation of IP addresses and efficiently using available address space. By segmenting… Read More »
What Is DHCPv6 Autoconfiguration? DHCPv6 is a network protocol that works pretty much the same as DHCP in IPv4. It is used to assign IP addresses and prefixes to IPv6 hosts on a network. This is also known as a stateful autoconfiguration. How DHCPv6 Works. DHCPv6 works in two ways; Stateful and Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC). Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) SLACC requires no… Read More »
