FHRP (First Hop Redundancy Protocol) and HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol) are two network protocols that are often confused with each other. While they are indeed related, they are not exactly the same. Both protocols are used to achieve redundancy in telecommunications networks, ensuring high availability and uninterrupted internet connectivity. This redundancy is especially important

In a telecommunications network, understanding how data travels from one device to another is very important. It helps to build an efficient and scalable communication system. The arrangement of devices in a network—whether they belong to the same collision domain or broadcast domain—determines how far traffic from a particular host can travel. Proper segmentation using

Circuit switching and packet switching are two traffic switching techniques that every IT professional should know. While the two technologies serve the purpose of forwarding traffic from the source to the destination, there is a very much difference in their way of operation and use cases. In this post, we are going to dive in

When it comes to routing protocols in networking, Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP) stand out as two commonly used options. Both are Interior Gateway Protocols (IGP), designed to route traffic within a single network or autonomous system rather than between multiple networks like Exterior Gateway Protocols (EGP). However, they differ

Unless the IP phone is powered on, you won’t be able to configure it or access the graphics user interface. In this post, I will show you how you can power on the IP phone so that you will be able to configure it and test your configuration. I will provide a video that will

HSRP, short for Hot Standby Router Protocol, is a first-hop redundancy protocol that allows multiple routers to collectively serve as the default gateway for high-priority host devices/subnetwork. At any given time, one of the routers serves as the active default gateway, while the others act as backups. In the event of the active router’s failure,

In our recent post, we demonstrated how to configure IPv4 static routing. Similarly, IPv6 static routes can also be configured on a IPV6 network to enable a router to learn routes to networks not directly connected to it. In this particular post, we will configure both static routes and floating static routes. A floating static

In this post, I will show you how to configure IPv6 addresses on an interface using Modified EUI-64 in Packet Tracer. EUI stands for Extended Unique Identifier, also referred to as EUI-64. It is a method of converting a MAC address (48 bits) into a 64-bit interface identifier. This interface identifier will now be the

In this post, I will show you how to configure IPv6 addresses in Cisco Packet Tracer. In this demonstration, we will practice configuring IPv6 addresses on both a Cisco router and PCs. There are two primary types of IP addresses: IPv6 and IPv4. In the early days of networking, IPv4 served as the primary IP
