Week 4: RIP PROTOCOL CONFIGURATION IN CISCO PACKET TRACER

The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) uses broadcast UDP data packets to exchange routing information. Cisco software sends routing information updates every 30 seconds. If a device does not receive an update from another device for 180 seconds or more, the receiving device marks the routes served by the non-routing device as unusable. If there is still no update after 240 seconds, the device removes all routing table entries for the non-updating device.

The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) sends routing-update messages at regular intervals and when the network topology changes. When a device receives a RIP routing update that includes changes to an entry, the device updates its routing table to reflect the new route. After updating its routing table, the device immediately begins transmitting RIP routing updates to inform other network devices of the change.
The network topology connecting 3 networks.
CONFIGURATION OF RIP USING CLI IN CISCO PACKET TRACER:
  • The steps to set up the RIP is same to some point as setting a router network link explained in previous blog. The further steps to follow are given below:
    • Type no ip route network_ip network_subnet gateway_router_address.
      • (e.g.): no ip route 192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.20
    • Then type router rip and hit enter.
    • Then type network_id to add and gateway_id of the network.
* Do same for 2nd router and try to ping.

The steps are shown below using CLI interface.
RIP Configuration for router 1
RIP configuration for router 2

Week 10 - Programming UDP Sockets in Node.js

For all things UDP in Node.js, you will need to use the  dgram  library, so read it up well and good. UDP Server Here is a simple example of a UDP server. var PORT = 33333 ; var HOST = '127.0.0.1' ; var dgram = require ( 'dgram' ); var server = dgram . createSocket ( 'udp4' ); server . on ( 'listening' , function () {      var address = server . address ();     console . log ( 'UDP Server listening on ' + address . address + ":" + address . port ); }); server . on ( 'message' , function ( message , remote ) {     console . log ( remote . address + ':' + remote . port + ' - ' + message ); }); server . bind ( PORT , HOST ); Things to Note HOST is optional in  server.bind() . If omitted, it will be listening on  0.0.0.0 , which might be what you want in some cases. The  message  event is fired, when a UDP packet arrives destined for this server. The  listeni

Week 6 Implementation of DHCP in CISCO Packet Tracer

Image
The DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) is a standardized network protocol which is used in internet protocol (IP) networks. DHCP is used to assign IP automatically to the system with the help of a machine called DHCP server. A DHCP server enables computers to request IP addresses and networking parameters automatically. In the absence of a DHCP server, each computer on the network needs to statically (manually)  assigned to an IP address. Static IP addresses are usually assigned to routers, management interfaces on switches, servers and other devices in the network which do not change location either physically or logically. Static IP addresses are also used to access and manage these devices remotely. On the other hand, user devices such as computers, smartphones, IP phones and others are likely to change their locations either physically or logically. This means that assigning them static IP addresses would be an unviable solution. DHCP is a protocol that was i

Week 1 - Introduction to Cisco Packet tracer

What is my blog going to cover? In this blog I am going to discuss in detail all features and uses of Cisco packet tracer along with the benefits and disadvantages of the program. Hopefully this blog can teach you something new and help you get the hang of and use packet tracer. What is packet tracer ? Packet Tracer is a cross-platform visual simulation tool designed by Cisco Systems that allows users to create network typologies and imitate modern computer networks. The software allows users to simulate the configuration of Cisco routers and switches using a simulated command line interface. It is very useful when studying networking which I am doing as a module for part of my college degree in Manipal University Jaipur (MUJ). Packet tracer is very complicated looking but as soon as you start to use the program it becomes very clear that in fact the program is actually quite easy to use. I am just going to quickly cover the beneficial and advantage side of using this
