Known as the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), it is a hybrid routing protocol. In this blog, we will learn about the EIGRP protocol and how it works. In the Previous blog, we learned about the Routing Information protocol (RIP), a distance-vector interior gateway protocol. I definitely recommend you go through that blog before Jumping … Read more
Since we are learning about the various networking protocols, it is time to learn about the RIP Protocol in Networking (Routing Information Protocol). In the previous blog, we learned about the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol. I definitely recommend you go through that blog before jumping to this blog. In this blog we are … Read more
There are many routing protocols in the networking domain that define a set of rules on how data should be transmitted. Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is one such dynamic routing protocol. It is called a dynamic protocol as it is able to dynamically exchange routing information between the routers that are the nearest neighbors. … Read more
The First Hop Redundancy Protocol (FHRP) works on ‘redundancy’ which means a network must have at least two routers in case of any network crash. In the previous blog, we learned about the FHRPs in detail. I definitely recommend you go through that blog before jumping to this blog. As we have learned previously that … Read more
In this blog, you will learn about the First Hop Redundancy Protocol (FHRP). You must know that it is not a specific protocol. However, it consists of 3 main types of protocols that are very important to learn if you want to take the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA 200-301) exam. The last time the … Read more
Be it any network, a large number of network devices are connected to each other. Each of the network devices such as a computer has different logging details. These could include warning logs, error logs, and security logs. For example, if you are a windows user, you can check different loggings on your PC as windows store all … Read more
There are so many networking devices such as routers, switches, gateways, etc. that aid the proper functioning of a network. In fact, big organizations even have their own private networks to allow computers to communicate with each other. But what if any network devices stop functioning efficiently or become ‘faulty’? There needs to be a … Read more
The Internet works on a set of rules or Protocols that allows the Internet to function in the right manner. The Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is one such protocol on which the Internet works. In the previous blogs, we have learned about various protocols such as the STP Protocol. These are also some sets … Read more
In the late 90s or early 2000s, do you remember that people used to use long directories to save the phone numbers of friends and family? Well, we don’t do that anymore, thanks to smartphones. You can imagine a Domain Name System (DNS) as a virtual directory of the Internet. It is a huge database … Read more
In this blog, we will learn about one of the most important Internet protocols that are used in a router. You must know that Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is mostly used in our homes! Our home routers usually function as DHCP servers. Until now, you must be familiar with the process of routing and … Read more
