Switch and Router configuration.
When you are installing a switch, there are some basic things that you need to follow. The connecting of the switch (which is physical) and the configuring of the switch which is done from the console is the beginning step. Making sure that you have all the cables connected and the switch is good to go; then connecting the console cable is a MUST. At this point, connecting the console and performing the configuring setup of the VLAN and protocols should begin. The user interface that the console provides will allow you to change different things located within the switch. The ma There are three things you need to know when you are going to configure the VLANs. The trunks …show more content…
EIGRP (enhanced interior gateway protocol) is a hybrid protocol. This protocol allows for minimal routing instability as well as the bandwidth processing power of the router. OSPF (open shortest path first) allows the packets to take the shortest path based on the routers routing table. RIP (routing information protocol) limits the number of hops that the data can make. It also has some stability features such as holddown and route poisoning mechanisms that help prevent incorrect routing information from being generated. RIPv2 is a better version of RIP and thus allowing classless inter-domain routing (CIDR). IS-IS protocol stands for intermediate system – intermediate system. This protocol was designed to move information quickly across a network of computers that are physically connected together. Each router independently builds its own routing table to allow the process of information to move faster. The different comment modes of a router include: >, #, (config), and (config-if) or user mode, privilege mode, global configuration mode and interface configuration
