Hi, I'm thinking about buying a 2801 router, and adding a gigabit HWIC card to handle some intervlan routing, with one of the two fast ethernet ports being a link out to the internet. This is mostly just for a test setup. Do you guys think the 2801 w...
I'm trying to understand how auto summarization works in RIPv2. I understand that it is enabled by default. Does this mean that if I have a subnet mask (lets say 26) that is greater than the class subnet mask (24), that it will automatically summariz...
I've been studying routing, and although I feel like I have a basic idea of routing and the different protocols associated with it, I've always had this IP address question.If I you are given the whole network 70.70.0.0/16 by your ISP (I'm using clas...
I'm trying to learn about routing, so I'm messing around with some older Cisco routers and switches. Here's something that I've never understood and would love for somebody to explain. Lets say that I have two routers and a 192.168.0.0/24 network, a ...
I have no experience with VTP, but It seemed fairly easy and straight forward to configure. I have a few switches that I put into VTP client mode, and then I have one switch that I put into VTP server mode. All of my VLANs propagated to the client mo...
Thanks guys. This is just a little small setup I'm using at home for the CCNP so I really Im really not looking for the newest stuff. What kind of speed do you think the 2801 would have if I had that 1GB trunk port?
So from what I've got out of all this is that auto summarization is an old technique used primarily in classful networks, and should be disabled, especially if1. The networks are discontinuous2. You have a netmask lower than the old one associated wi...
I apologize but I just have one more clarifying question.Does the CLASS of the network play a part in the auto summary. I understand that if I have auto summarization enabled it would summarize /28 networks up to /24, or /18 up to /16, but in all you...
Ok I think I've got it. I had a misunderstanding with some of the basics. So with RIPv2 and auto summarization enabled, you can have classless networks with any netmask, but when your routing between major networks it will summarize to a lower netmas...
