Once a packet has been accepted, a router consults its forwarding table to identify the
proper exit interface depending on the default gateway. The packet is then forwarded by the router
• packet forwarding
• path selection
2. What is a computer network? How information from one computer in a network to another
A network device is a setup that joins two or more computers together to share and
transport data. These gadgets can be wireless or linked by physical connections like fiber
optic cables.
The rules and protocols that specify how to communicate and receive electronic
network. These both physical and logical components' designs are determined by the
computer network architecture. It offers the standards for the physical elements,
a. Network topology
Your network's topology is represented by a physical or logical map. It enables you to see the connections
between the services in your network. Knowing your network's topology enables you to decide where new
These diagrams show the parts of your cloud infrastructure, whether your company uses AWS or GCP.
When describing the present condition of your infrastructure, designing a possible future, troubleshooting,
c. Hardware directory
The hardware components of your network should be described in this directory, which also has to have
registration number and details of physical setups. You may use this information to find and resolve
4. Determine which type of cable should be used to make connectivity between below devices:
e. A cisco router’s console port to a PC: RJ-45 serial cable should be used to make connectivity
5. Find below component of the network 172.30.30.111/25:
When enter is pushed after inputting a command, the CLI, a text or text-based interface that allows
command parsing, is used to setup or monitor the supported device. IOS analyzes the command
and arguments you entered and verifies that the syntax is accurate. There are several ways to access
the IOS CLI, including through interface, auxiliary, telnet, web browser, and an SNMP
The Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm serves as the foundation for the link-state routing protocol
known as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), which was created for IP networks. An inside gateway
In an OSPF network, each router or system maintains a link-state database that is identical and
contains information on the topology of the area. Link-state advertisements (LSAs), which each
router or system in the area gets from every other router or system in the same area as well as LSAs
it makes on its own, are used to create each system's link-state database. A packet known as an
LSA provides data on neighbors and path expenses. Each router or system computes a shortest-
path spanning tree with itself as the root using information from the link-state database.
• Why OSPF is more suited for handling vast, diverse internetworks as compared to distance-
vector routing protocols much like Routing Information Protocol (RIP). The routes may be
• You may use OSPF to partition any Autonomous System (AS) across areas and maintain distinct
area topologies to reduce OSPF routing congestion and the size of each area's link-state database.
A dynamic routing technology called Routing Information Protocol (RIP) employs hop count as a
routing statistic to determine the optimum route between a source network and a destination
network. It is a distance-vector routing that operates at the Networking layer of the OSI model and
has an AD value of 120. The 520 port is used by RIP. When using the distance-vector protocol,
routers update their neighbors with the entire or a fraction of their routing tables using routing-
update messages.
Features of RIP
4. Routers consistently trust routing data obtained from nearby routers. It's sometimes referred to
as "routing on rumors."
The debug command shows details about the produced or received traffic, error messages, and how
the Cisco device is operating. Up until the user turns off programming or even the device is reset,
Debug commands aid in identifying and fixing protocol and configuration issues. The debug ip
protocol command provides details on packets that the router does not quickly switch.
The fourth version of the Internet Protocol, known as IPv4, is a widely used protocol for data
transmission over a variety of networks. With Ethernet and other packet-switched layer networks,
IPv4 is a protocol suite. By giving identity for each device, it creates the logical relationship
between network devices. Depending on the network type, there are several setup options for IPv4
All methods in the OSI and TCP models are designed primarily to eliminate redundancy of effort,
control mistakes, manage data flow, manage connections, encapsulate data, and manage transmissions.
Let's get a fundamental understanding of how protocols work at each layer of the TCP and OSI models.
