MPLS and Broadband are two confusing networking concepts. MPLS is a packet forwarding algorithm that uses labels to make a forwarding decision. A broadband line, on the other hand, is an internet service package that uses a shared internet line to provide connectivity to to the customer. In this article, we’ll delve into MPLS vs. broadband internet; highlighting […]

Wide Area Networks (WAN) and the Internet are distinct networks characterized by their varying coverage. Most people confuse WAN with the Internet, but they are not the same thing. In this article, we will explore the differences between WAN and Internet. We will begin by shedding light on their individual definitions and extend to their

Multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) and wide Area Network (WAN) are two networking terms that are associated with Internet service provision. MPLs are a packet forwarding technology that uses labels to make forwarding decisions. A WAN, on the other hand, is a network infrastructure used to interconnect different branches of any organization. In this post, we will be

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) are two innovative network technologies that have revolutionized the way data is routed within network circuits. Most people are constantly seeking to understand these technologies, their unique features, and how they stack up against each other to determine which one best meets their demands. This

In a router-on-a-stick configuration, it is important to Configure Native VLAN on Cisco Router to handle untagged traffic properly. The native VLAN is used to process incoming untagged packets on the router interface. There are two ways to configure native vlan on a Cisco router: one is using the physical interface of the router, and

As networks expand, effective network management becomes increasingly important. One key aspect of network management is inter-VLAN routing, which allows for efficient communication between different VLANs within a network. While Router on a Stick (ROAS) configurations have traditionally been used for inter-VLAN routing, Layer 3 switches offer an alternative approach through the use of Switched

When configuring a trunk port on a switch for inter-VLAN routing, it is recommended to configure the native VLAN to an unused VLAN in order to improve network security. By default, the native vlan is configured to vlan 1, but in most cases, you need to manually configure this to an unused vlan. In this

In any network with a small number of VLANs, it is feasible to utilize individual router interfaces to handle inter-VLAN routing. However, as the number of VLANs increases, this approach becomes impractical due to the limited number of interfaces available on routers. This is where the concept of a “Router on a Stick” comes into
