1.0 Network Fundamentals.20%. 1.3 Compare physical interface and cabling types 1.3.b Connections (Ethernet shared media and point-to-point)

Connections of ethernet shared media and point-to-point. When ethernet networking was in the beginning stages, coax was used and all the computers connected or "tapped" into the coax with another coax cable. The nics had a bnc connector. This was a shared media. After that, network hubs were used. This allowed the use of unshielded … Continue reading 1.0 Network Fundamentals.20%. 1.3 Compare physical interface and cabling types 1.3.b Connections (Ethernet shared media and point-to-point) →

1.0 Network Fundamentals. 20%. 1.3 Compare physical interface and cabling types. 1.3.a Single-mode fiber, multimode fiber, copper.

In network engineering we use media to connect things together. There are basically 3 kinds of media, fiber, copper and wireless. Fiber media is made from glass or plastic. Back in the day, when I first started running fiber, there was one manufacturer, which was Corning. Now there are several more. Fiber optic cable uses … Continue reading 1.0 Network Fundamentals. 20%. 1.3 Compare physical interface and cabling types. 1.3.a Single-mode fiber, multimode fiber, copper. →

IGP Redistribution Examples

I. RIP Redistribution Principles 1. Doesn't differentiate between internal and external routes. a. Administrative Distance of 120 for all routes.2. No default seed metric.a. Command to redistribute is "redistribute [protocol] metric [hops]b. Command to set the default-metric is "default-metric [hops] II. EIGRP Redistribution Principles 1. AD of 170 for external EIGRPa. Helps to automatically prevent … Continue reading IGP Redistribution Examples →

Before continuing on with redistribution, some more basics:

I. The reason for redistribution is because each protocol has different route advertisement rules. A. RIP, EIGRP, OSPF, and BGP use different rules so routes will not advertise from one protocol to another protocol without redistribution. II. Redistribution occurs in the routing table (RIB) with the "show ip route" output. It does not occur in … Continue reading Before continuing on with redistribution, some more basics: →
