A Layer 2 switch, which functions as a transparent bridge, offers no additional links for redundancy purposes. To add redundancy, a second switch must be added. Now two switches offer the transparent bridging function in parallel. LAN designs with redundant links introduce the possibility that frames might loop around the network forever. These looping frames would cause network performance problems. For example, when the switches receive an unknown unicast, both will flood the frame out all their available ports, including the ports that link to the other switch, resulting in what is known as a bridging loop, as the frame is forwarded around and around between two switches. This occurs because...

A hub is a device used to connect all of the computers on a star or ring network. A hub is nothing more than a box with a series of cable connectors in it.

um to large scale redundant LAN environments, the Spanning Tree Protocol must be enabled. The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a service that allows LAN switches and bridges to be redundantly interconnected by providing a mechanism to prevent bridging loops. In complex multi-switch LAN networks or environments that required high convergence, STP protocol must be manually tuned. Without the existence of STP Protocol, frames would loop for an indefinite period of time in networks with physically redundant links. To prevent looping frames, STP blocks some ports from forwarding frames so that only one active path exists between any pair of LAN segments (collision domains). The result of STP is that...

l, before I begin explaining this week’s article; I would like to say, “Happy holidays to all of my readers”; because of you it’s been a very astounding year! Now, that I’ve humbly thanked all of you, let’s move on to this week’s article. Well, if you’re planning to run the Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) within your Cisco environment. You’ll need to have at least two Hot Standby Routers to form a HSRP group, and one of these routers will need to be configured to act as the “active” router. So, that’s when you’ll need to use the “standby priority” command. Basically, the Cisco IOS interface command named “standby priority” is used to...

These performance designations make it easier to choose the right type for various purposes such as networking computers together or using peripherals including hubs and routers. All three types of cables, Cat-5, Cat-5e, and Cat-6, are...

co ASA firewall appliance provides great security protection out-of-the box with its default configuration. However, to increase the security protection even further, there are several configuration enhancements that can be used to implement additional security features. Two of these features are IP Spoofing protection and basic Intrusion Prevention (IPS) support. IP Spoofing Protection IP spoofing attacks are those that change the actual source IP address of packets to obscure their true origin. This means that packets arriving at a particular interface (e.g inside) must have a valid source IP address that matches the correct source interface according to the firewall routing table. Normally the...

article I will explain how to configure a Cisco ASA 5505 firewall to connect to dual ISPs for redundancy purposes. Suppose that we have a primary high-speed ISP connection, and a cheaper DSL line connected to a Secondary ISP. Normally all of our traffic should flow through the primary ISP. If the primary link fails, the secondary DSL connection should be utilized for Internet access. Please note that the above scenario is valid only for Outbound traffic (i.e. from our internal network towards the Internet). The functionality that I will describe below works for ASA 5505 version 7.2(1) and above. Assume that we are assigned a static Public IP address of 100.100.100.1 from Primary ISP and another...

u bring your computer to an open connection like in an internet cafe, there is a security risk by connecting to that open connection. The only way to absolutely be safe from it is to never connect. You didn't bring your laptop with you so that you could stay off the internet so some security is needed to attempt to stay safe. If you are using Windows, be sure to update the system, have a firewall, updated and run anti-virus, and an anti-spyware program installed and run before getting onto the connection. This is a good practice no matter if you use open internet connections or not. Despite doing this, there are still some security that is given up by connecting to that connection. One option that...
