In this article, we will explore how to configure PAT on a cisco router. Network address translation (NAT) is an algorithm used in translating private IP address into a public IP address for connectivity over the internet. There are two primary types of IP addresses: IPv6 and IPv4. Initially, IPv4 was the predominant addressing scheme. […]

In any network, various VLANs cater to different departments within an organization. For instance, one VLAN might serve the network engineering team, while another VLAN could be dedicated to security engineering Team. These VLANs are important in segmenting the network. It ensures that access to resources is restricted within each VLAN. Even though VLANs do

For a host to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, it sends a DHCP request to the DHCP server on the network, and the server will reply by leasing out an IP address from the pool of available addresses to the host. DHCP clients connected to a switch are expected to transmit only

To make forwarding decisions, switches store the MAC address associated with any interface it used to receive frames in the MAC Address table. Next time, when a frame destined to that MAC address comes in on the switch, the switch looks up the MAC address table and uses the interface associated with that MAC address

In any network setup, ensuring secure access to devices like routers and switches is paramount to prevent potential security vulnerabilities. Failure to secure access could leave networks vulnerable to unauthorized access and malicious attacks. There are two primary methods to secure access to network devices. First, we can utilize the device’s local database to store

Securing access to network devices in real-world scenarios is of utmost importance to protect against vulnerabilities. This entails allowing only authenticated users to connect and configure these devices, either through Telnet or SSH or locally through console connections. One method to enable access security on network devices like routers or Switch is by configuring security

In a real-world network, securing access to network devices is of paramount importance. This measure helps safeguard the devices from vulnerabilities by permitting only authenticated users to connect and configure network devices, whether through remote connections like Telnet or SSH, or through on-site connections like console connections. One approach to enhancing access security is by

For a high-availability network, enterprise companies typically maintain connections with multiple internet service providers (ISPs) to ensure redundant internet connectivity. Among these ISPs, one is usually preferred over the others, often due to higher bandwidth or other factors. This preferred ISP serves as the primary link, while the connection from the second ISP acts as

A floating static route is a backup route configured with a higher administrative distance than the primary route. It serves as a failover mechanism in case the primary route becomes unavailable. A floating static route is mainly used when there are two connections from a router to a subnetwork. The first connection may be using

In any network, a default route serves as a fallback option for routers to forward traffic if there is no specific path to the destination of the traffic in the routing table. When a router receives a packet, it searches its routing table for a route to the destination. If a route exists, the router
