TTL Mechanism

TTL mechanism prevents packets from circulating endlessly and ensures that they either reach their destination or are dropped after a predetermined number of hops. It helps maintain network efficiency and prevents potential loops in the routing process. Initial TTL Setting:The packet leaves the source client with an initial TTL value.As it encounters the first router, … Read more

Router on a stick (ROAS)

Almost all networks in the world use Virtual Local Area Networks nowadays. In our lesson about VLANs we have learned a general rule of thumb that is: This means that if we have nodes connected in different VLANs, they most probably are part of different subnets. If we take the topology shown in Figure 1 for example, … Read more

VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) and EVPN (Ethernet Virtual Private

VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) and EVPN (Ethernet Virtual Private Network) are technologies used in networking to address challenges associated with large-scale, multi-tenancy data center environments. FortiGate, a product of Fortinet, is a next-generation firewall and security appliance that also offers networking capabilities.

Network Address Translation Lab

Introduction The purpose of this exercise is to learn how to configure NAT for a campus network. We will be setting up NAT on the border router so that the campus private IPv4 address space (172.2X.0.0/16) will be NATed so that devices using that private address space can reach the public Internet. Setting up NAT … Read more

VLAN Lab

Introduction The purpose of this exercise is to create separate VLANs for different groups of users in each building. In a later exercise we will configure the core router so that each VLAN is using a different IP subnet. This lab is a continuation from the Spanning Tree exercise and the lab setup is identical: … Read more
