By default, Routing Information Protocol (RIP) sends its routing table updates on all interfaces on which Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is enabled after every 30 seconds. However, RIP updates only required to be sent out interfaces connecting to other RIP enabled routers. This required to stop sending an update on interfaces where not needed. The […]
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a dynamic routing protocol defines a way for routers, which connect different networks using the Internet Protocol (IP), to share information about how to route traffic among these different networks. The routing information protocol (RIP) uses hop count as a routing metric to find the best path between the source and the […]
With fixed-length subnet masking (FLSM) the similar number of addresses has allocated for each subnet. It is a sequence of numbers of unchanging length that streamlines packet routing within the subnets of a proprietary network. If all the sub-network has similar requirements for the number of hosts, these fixed-size address blocks would be enough. But, most frequently that […]
The IETF introduced RFC 1517 in 1993, introducing the classless inter-domain routing (CIDR). The CIDR replaced the old classful network assignments. The classful address now becomes obsolete due to Classless Address scheme. The CIDR network address is determined by the subnet mask instead of the value of the first octet of the address. The network […]
A classful network is a network addressing architecture used in the networks since 1981.The RFC 790 and 791 released in 1981 describing how IPv4 network addresses were primarily allocated based on a classification system. The authors of IPv4 addresses set up three classes of network addresses, class A, B, and C for different network sizes. […]
The directly connected static IPv6 route is the best solution in the routing when CEF is not working on the router. In the old Cisco IOs before 12.0 versions, this is the best solution to avoid recursive routing. This is also the best in point-to-point networks. It is also best an alternative to using the […]
Only the IP address of the next-hop IPv6 is specified in next-hop static Pv6 route. The exit interface is derived from the next hop. For example, in Figure 1, three next-hop static routes are configured on Router 0. Before forwarding any packet, the router process must resolve the route to determine the exit interface to […]
As we already discussed in the What is a Next-Hop in Network? an article that it is a routing term uses for the next neighbouring router a data packet can go through. The IPv6 route next-hop is along with the series of routers that are connected simultaneously in a network and is the next possible destination for […]
