When configure the Inter-VLAN routing we required to check and verify the host to host connectivity and data sending. Generally, we can check this using ping and tracert command. We have briefly discussed the check utility in article Interpreting Ping Results-Cisco IOs and Traceroute (Tracert) – Testing the Route, in this article, I am going to give you the […]
We learned in a previous lesson that legacy inter-VLAN routing requires multiple physical interfaces on both the router and the switch. But in the ‘Router-on-stick’ configuration only one physical interface needed on both sides. The Router-on-a-stick allows routing packets to subnets associated with VLANs connected to a router 802.1Q trunk. The Router-on-Stick uses VLAN trunking […]
As we learned that each VLAN is usually working on its subnet. The network switches mainly work at layer 2 of the OSI model, so they do not examine the logical addresses. Therefore for traffic between VLAN inter-VLAN routing is required. The Legacy Inter-VLAN routing is the first solution for traffic between different VLAN. It […]
We know that VLANs segment network switch into different portions and assign a different subnet to each VLAN. Switches mainly work at layer 2 of the OSI model, such as the Catalyst 2960 Series. The 2960 series switches support over 4,000 VLANs. But, these switches have very limited IPv4 and IPv6 functionality and they do […]
Dynamic routing is a networking technique that provides optimal data routing. The network administrators and engineers configure a dynamic routing protocol on the network interfaces. The protocol running on the router learns about others routers automatically and also dynamically exchange routing information with each other. Dynamic routing protocols perform several activities, including network discovery and […]
We can configure either static router or dynamic routes after the configuration of directly connected interfaces. The static routes are manually configured and it provides a clear path between two networking devices. It must be manually reconfigured if there are changes in the network topology. This is the main disadvantage of static routes. It is […]
