Another way to configure a static route is to use the exit interface to specify the next-hop address. Before the CEF, this method was used to avoid the recursive lookup problem. But now the CEF resolves the recursive lookup problem. In Figure 1, the same topology that we already discussed in the previous lesson is… Read more

Understanding Cisco Router Forwarding Mechanism is a cornerstone of networking for CCNA and CCNP students. Routers, the backbone of network connectivity, rely on efficient packet-forwarding mechanisms to direct traffic toward its destination. Cisco routers support three primary methods—Process Switching, Fast Switching, and Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF)—each with unique characteristics affecting performance, scalability, and resource usage.
