What is HSRP?

What is HSRP: Your Ultimate Guide To Network Fail-over

Introduction Today’s enterprise network wants to ensure 24/7 network availability for its users. Redundancy is a key feature of today’s network. Moreover, Redundancy helps us to ensure availability and minimize downtime for maintaining the smooth running of network operations. One of the main and famous redundancy protocols is the Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) which…

Dynamic NAT

Dynamic NAT: How to Configure

Dynamic NAT Dynamic means something related to automatic that doesn’t rely on human intervention.As defined in the previous blog, NATing allows us to communicate with the rest of the world through public IP addresses. One such translation method is dynamic nat. It is a translation method in which private network PCs communicate over the internet…

1-to-1 Network Address Translation (Static NAT)

1-to-1 Network Address Translation: How to Use It Effectively

Introduction to 1-to-1 network address translation ( static NAT) Network address translation plays a crucial role in conserving IPv4 addresses. One of the main and most commonly used of NAT is 1-to-1 network address translation. We can also call it static NAT. This article will explore its details, configuration, use cases, and practical implementation. At…

Redistribution between eigrp and ospf

How to Configure Redistribution Between EIGRP and OSPF

Introduction Normally, large enterprises run various routing protocols in their organization to meet client requirements. Each client is running a different type of routing protocol. However, a problem of disconnectivity arises when different types of routing protocols operate in the same autonomous system. To solve this problem, we use redistribution, which connects different routing protocols…

OSPF dr election

How Does OSPF DR Election Work? A Beginner’s Approach.

Introduction to OSPF DR Election             The OSPF DR election is crucial in multi-access OSPF networks like ethernet and Frame-relay, where more than one router is connected in the same segment. Its main aim is to reduce the traffic generated by OSPF’s enabled router. OSPF DR and BDR election Normally DR/BDR in OSPF takes place…

EIGRP MD5 Authentication

How to Enhance Network Security with EIGRP MD5 Authentication

Introduction Authentication is an essential factor for digital devices. If we connect the devices to the internet, then authentication becomes necessary. Authentication plays a vital role in data transmission. Without encryption and authentication, there is a risk of data alteration. By default, EIGRP uses no authentication between its routers. EIGRP uses MD5 and SHA-256 authentications….

EIGRP feasible Distance

How To Differentiate Between EIGRP Feasible And Advertised Distance?

Introduction EIGRP Feasible Distance and advertised distances are important in finding the best path from source to destination in EIGRP internetwork. Moreover, the link cost finds the path from source to destination in a network. EIGRP Feasible Distance Based on the lowest cost metric, the EIGRP enters its best route into its routing table. Specifically,…

static and default routing

Fundamentals of Static and Default Routing in Packet Tracer

Introduction  The process of sending a message from one computer to another located in different networks is called routing. The router performs routing. Static and default routing are the types of routing that are configured manually. Usually, the network administrator configures static and default routes. Static Routing Static routing is a mechanism in which the…
