My CISCO Journal

It's really amazing, how technology improves with the passage of time. It seems Moors law will be in action for a long time to come. The things are improving very fast from a processing perspective as well as improvements in design. Have you ever imagined how did the first packet...

Cisco IOS devices support a number of banners that are presented to users when they use the console line or when they connect remotely using telnet or SSH. They are often used to inform users about their legal rights. It might be a good idea to present a banner to users who are trying to connect to your device, here are some items you might want to...

I came across this interesting snapshot while studying some Linux slides. This snapshot contains the best advice anyone can give to you! CSE 265: System and Network Administration ©2004-2012 Brian D. Davi...

Today i am posting an awesome post link from www.routerfreak.com it related to Understanding Ethernet Jumbo Frames. Here is the link to the article: http://www.routerfreak.com/understanding-ethernet-jumbo-frames/ Some of the things discussed in this article...

VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) – The Good VS the Bad Part 2: Taking after are the parameters needed for the VTP gadgets to impart: 1-VTP Domain name 2-VTP Password: VTP uphold confirmation utilizing passed which is hashed as MD5 and utilized within VTP commercials over the...

VTP is an absolutely fascinating thought however meanwhile quite hazardous if not took care of with delicacy. I know you may be suspecting WHY? For your response and to perceive the notion wouldn't it be great if we could start then and I welcome you to the universe of VTP. VTP in true is an update methodology. It gives an intend to make VLANs...

BackboneFast: In order to detect indirect link failure and to optimize network convergence time, Backbone Fast feature of STP is used. Backbone fast (BF, in short) is a CISCO proprietary feature. The term indirect link failure needs a little explanation. The link which is not...

STP- Enhancements PortFast: As for now we are well equipped with STP, now we turn to STP optimization techniques. STP optimization is necessary for fast convergence times in the network, as the standard 4 step convergence of STP can cause a lot of havoc in the real time...

Today we are going to arm ourselves with an amazing protocol, STP! STP (Spanning tree Protocol) is an amazing protocol to create a loop free topology in a redundant bridge network. STP was created by Dr Radia Perlman of Sun Microsystems for a loop free bridge (“bridge” can be...
