What is global configuration mode used for?


Global Configuration mode mode allows users to modify the running system configuration.
From the Privileged mode a user can move to configuration mode by running the "configure
terminal" command from privileged mode. To exit configuration mode, the user can enter "end"
command or press Ctrl-Z key combination.

What is configuration command?


You can use the CONFIG command to change the online or offline status of available
processors, storage amounts, storage ranges, central storage elements, PCIE function
identifiers (PFIDs), storage-class memory (SCM), and channel paths: Directly. In
response to a configuration display.

Which command shows that router is in global configuration?


Global configuration mode: router(config)# Interface configuration mode: router(config-
if )#

What is Cisco IOS commands?


The Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) is the primary user interface used for
configuring, monitoring, and maintaining Cisco devices. This user interface allows
you to directly and simply execute Cisco IOS commands, whether using a router
console or terminal, or using remote access methods.

What are the 4 modes of router?


There are four operating modes in the router settings — the main mode and three
additional modes:
 Router (A) — main mode;
 Adapter (B) — connect Ethernet devices to a Wi-Fi network;
 Repeater/Extender (C) — Wi-Fi extension;
 Access point/Extender (D) — expansion of the Wi-Fi area with Ethernet
connection.

what is unicast address in ipv6


IPv6 addresses are categorized into these basic types: Unicast address. The unicast
address specifies a single interface. A packet sent to a unicast address destination
travels from one host to the destination host. The two regular types of unicast
addresses include: Link-local address.

What are the three types of unicast addresses in IPv6?


There are three types of IPv6 unicast addresses:
 global unicast – similar to IPv4 public IP addresses. These addresses are
assigned by the IANA and used on public networks. ...
 unique local – similar to IPv4 private addresses. ...
 link local – these addresses are used for sending packets over the local subnet.

Static Route Configuration
What is static routing used for?
Static routing is a routing type in which a network administrator configures the
routes into the routing table to be used by the router to send packets to a
destination network

What do you mean by static and dynamic routing?


A static routing table is created, maintained, and updated by a network
administrator, manually. A static route to every network must be configured on every
router for full connectivity. ... A dynamic routing table is created, maintained, and
updated by a routing protocol running on the router.
Static Route

1.Static routing method is most trusted by a router.

2.Static routing is not really a routing protocol.

3.Static routes do not dynamically adapt to network changes, are not


particularly scalable, and require

manual updating to reflect changes.

Static routing has the following advantages

1. There is no bandwidth usage between routers, which means you


could possibly save

money on WAN links.

2. There is no overhead on the router CPU, which means you could


possibly buy a cheaper

router than you would use if you were using dynamic routing.

3. It adds security because the administrator can choose to allow


routing access to certain networks

only.

Static routing has the following disadvantages

1. Static routes don’t dynamically adapt to network change.

2. If a network is added to the internetwork, the administrator has to


add a route to it on all routers—

by hand.
3. It’s not feasible in large networks because maintaining it would be
a full-time job in itself.

4. With static routing, as your network grows, it can be difficult just


keep adding static routes makes

sure everybody can still get everything.

5. The administrator must really understand the internetwork and


how each router is

connected in order to configure routes correctly.

There are two different styles to configure an “ip route” command:

1. Using a next hop IP address

2. Using an outgoing interface


Practical No.5
Configure IP routing using RIP
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a dynamic routing protocol that uses
hop count as a routing metric to find the best path between the source and the
destination network. It is a distance-vector routing protocol that has an AD value
of 120 and works on the Network layer of the OSI model. RIP uses port number
52.

What does Routing Information Protocol RIP do?


Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a distance-vector routing protocol. Routers
running the distance-vector protocol send all or a portion of their routing tables in
routing-update messages to their neighbors. You can use RIP to configure the hosts as
part of a RIP network.

There are two versions of RIP: RIPv1 and RIPv2.

Comparing between RIPv1 and RIPv2


1.Both RIPv1 and RIPv2 have the Administrative distance 120.
2.Both RIPv1 and RIPv2 are distance vector routing protocol.
Both RIPv1 and RIPv2’s metric is hop count.
Maximum hop count = 15. Max routers = 16.

For example, all routers are running RIP and network


10.0.0.0 goes down.
After hold timer expires, that network will be advertised by
metric 16 and everyone will know that
the network is down and that network will be seen in
routing table as possibly down.
4. Both RIPv1 and RIPv2 send routing updates or
complete routing table or broadcast every 30 seconds. i.e.
The
default routing update period for both version of RIP is 30
seconds. i.e. Both have the same timers.
5. Both RIPv1 and RIPv2 use split horizon to prevent
routing loops.
6. Both RIPv1 and RIPv2 are configured with router rip.
7. network command tells both RIPv1 and RIPv2 to send
hellos, out an interface, to find neighbors and to
advertise routes.

Advantage of RIPv2 over RIPv1 :


1. RIPv2 supports MD5 authentication for routing
updates. i.e. RIP version 2 supports routing update
authentication.
2. RIPv2 used multicast(224.0.0.9) rather than broadcast.
3. RIPv2 auto summarize advertised routes across classful
boundaries.
To disable this behavior, should apply no auto-summary
command under the RIP process.
4. RIPv2 is classless routing protocol means that it sends
subnet mask information when updates.
By sending the subnet mask information with the
updates, RIPv2 can support Variable Length
Subnet Mask(VLSMs) as well as the summarization of
network boundaries.

Disadvantage of RIPv1 and RIPv2


1. Both RIPv1 and RIPv2 send full routing tables out every
30 seconds. It’s a lot of overhead, require too much
bandwidth. Sending full routing table is unnecessary.
2. RIPv1 and RIPv2 does not form adjacency.
3. RIPv1 and RIPv2 work only on hop count(not consider
the
bandwith). 4.RIPv1 and RIPv2 have slow convergence.
5.Not scalable, because hop count is only 15.

Practical No.6
Configuring OSPF.
Link: Interface on a router
OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) protocol Terminology
Link state: Description of an interface and of its relationship to
its neighboring routers.
The collection of all the link-states would form a link-state
database.
1. OSPF uses cost as a metric, which is the inverse of the
bandwidth of a link. OSPF identifies the best route by
use of cost.
2. OSPF uses Dijkstra or SPF(Shortest Path First) algorithm.
Dijkstra or SPF is a same algorithm.
3.OSPF provides a loop free topology.
4. OSPF's administrative distance is 110.
5. Before exchanging routing information, OSPF routers find out
neighbors.
OSPF routers exchange LSAs, and the OSPF algorithm uses the
contents of those LSAs to build their routing
table. In this way, OSPF allows extensive control of routing
updates.
6. OSPF is complex to configure and difficult to
troubleshoot.
7.OSPF does not support IPX.

8. OSPF requires more memory and faster processors to handle


OSPF than distance vector protocol. i.e. OSPF is a CPU-intensive
protocol, and very large OSPF networks can experience routing
and update traffic problems that seriously impact network
performance.

9. OSPF confines network instability to a single area of the


network. 10.OSPF uses WILDCARD MASK instead subnet mask.

Advantages of OSPF
1. OSPF is an open-standard, purely link-state protocol.
RIP, IGRP and EIGRP are distance-vector (routing by rumor)
routing protocols, susceptible to routing loops,
split-horizon, and other issues.
2. OSPF converges very quickly - from the point of recognizing a
failure, it often can converge in less than 10 seconds.
3. OSPF sends updates only changed portion or partial updates
of a network when link status changes rather
than the complete routing table. In this way, reduces the usage
of bandwidth(BW) and decreases routing
overhead by sending triggered updates to announce changes in
the network. RIP and IGRP hold-down timers
can cause slow convergence.
4. OSPF supports VLSM and CIDR. OSPF supports route
summarization. RIPv1 and IGRP do not.
5. OSPF is a classless protocol, not classful.
6. OSPF uses the concept of areas to implement hierarchical
design, not a flat design like RIP.
7. With OSPF, a router does flood its own LSAs when it age
reaches 30 minutes. The flooding, however, does
not happened all at once, so the overhead is minimal. RIP sends
entire routing table every 30 seconds, IGRP
every 90 seconds.
8.Link state protocol like OSPF doesn't have anything like Hop.
i.e. Do not use hops to mark networks as
unreachable.
When an OSPF router does not receive a Hello packet for a
specified time period, it assumes that the neighbor is
down. The router then runs the SPF algorithm to calculate new
routes.
Practical No.7
Run different SCTP commands.
Sctp : To enter the Stream Control Transmission Protocol
(SCTP) configuration, use the sctp command in
IDSN User Adaptation Layer (IUA) configuration mode. To
disable, use the no form of this command.
