Default routes are used to send traffic to destinations that do not match the routing tables of devices in the network. The most common case for deployment would be the network with Internet access as it would be impossible to contain in the routing tables of all devices that comprise routes.

The default routes, as well as static routes common, are configured using the ip route command in Global Configuration mode.

Router (config) # ip route “0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0″ “IP next hop or output interface”

0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0: last one AND with the destination address and not coincide with the routes in the routing table sends the IP packet to the next hop or output interface.

IP next-hop: The IP of the router interface directly connected to the router where you are configuring the static route.

Interface output: This is the IP of the router where you are configuring the static route. It is used in the case of ignoring the next hop IP. Read the rest of this entry »

These are the basic configuration commands for Catalyst 1900 Series Switch and Catalyst 2800 Series. The commends in the examples are for 1900 switch, but also serves to configure the switch 2800.

Cisco Catalyst 1900 Series Switch
Cisco Catalyst 1912 Switch
Cisco Catalyst 1924 Switch
Cisco Catalyst 2800 Series Switch
Cisco Catalyst 2802 Switch
Cisco Catalyst 2808 Switch
Cisco Catalyst 2822 Switch
Cisco Catalyst 2828 Switch

These models in particular, they are old enough, use “Firmware” as the operating system and some commands for the configuration is different to other series.

SWITCH TO APPOINT

Switch> enable
Switch # configure terminal
Switch (config) # hostname 1900 (appointed to the switch)
1900 (config) #

Set Password “ENABLE SECRET” and “ENABLE PASSWORD”

1900> enable
1900 # configure terminal
1900 (config) # enable secret password * (Enable Secret password set)
1900 (config) # enable password password ** 1-15 level (set password Enable Password)
1900 (config) #
* Enable Secret is recommended to set it generates a global key figure in the switch.
** Tier 1 is a user-mode password with different privileges. Level 15 is the enable mode password. These passwords are unencrypted. Read the rest of this entry »

Configuring a router, at first, seems a complicated task. Over time, learning the commands, functions and setting up, we will realize that it is not at all, quite the opposite, ends up being a simple process, mechanical.

This tutorial only shows the basic configuration of a router, which we always do, regardless of routing protocols or configure services later.

The routers have several modes and sub modes configuration.

User Exec Mode: This mode allows only limited details of the configuration of the router and does not allow any modification of it.

Privileged Exec mode: This mode allows a detailed look at the router settings for diagnosis and testing. It also allows working with router configuration files (Flash - NVRAM).

Global Configuration Mode: This mode allows basic router configuration and allows access to specific configuration sub modes. Read the rest of this entry »

The routing protocol EIGRP (Extended Internal Gateway Routing Protocol), and Cisco proprietary enhanced version of IGRP is a hybrid protocol that has characteristics of both distance vector and link state and is usually used in medium to large networks.

EIGRP Features

1. Default Metrics: Bandwidth + Delay.
2. It has an administrative distance of 90 domestic and 170 foreign.
3. Supports up to 255 dives (100 by default).
4. Using the DUAL algorithm for upgrades and fast convergence.
5. Partial updates triggered by events.
6. Supports IP, IPv6, IPX and AppleTalk.
7. Supports classless routing, VLSM arbitrary and summary routes.

OSPF (Open Shortest Path First or First Shortest Route Free) is a routing protocol IGP (Interior Gateway Protocol) link-state used in large networks.

OSPF features:

1. Metric: Cost (Bandwidth Cisco IOS).
2. Administrative distance: 110.
3. Fast convergence and scalability.
4. Supports classless routing, VLSM and route summary.

A network is one that enables wireless connection of two or more computers together without cables involved. Here’s a guide to setting up a network wirelessly.

This article will show a series of 13 steps to connect a work station to a local area wireless network using the protocol Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity). Such networks offer us great advantages for home and companies, since they do not need to install cables.

Wi-Fi, was published under the IEEE 802.11 standard, it has been updates, which work at different speeds. The Wireless Local Area Networks allows highly mobile users, allowing them to minimize wiring, using technology of radio frequency.

Network Features

1. The reduction in wiring, which results in easy installation, reducing the time.
2. The radio frequencies used for communication, allows us to connect areas to which we can not reach using cabling, either by cost or location.
3. It allows real time transmission to users and great possibilities of service and productivity.

Step 1: Task Bar

Look for the network icon, located on the taskbar, there you know whether the machine has the power disconnected or not installed. Read the rest of this entry »
