CCIE blueprint: 3.4.a Implement and troubleshoot RIPv2 This post is part of a multipost series about RIP. Other posts in this series are: RIP RIP configuration part 1 RIP configuration part 2 RIP summarization Miscelanious RIP commands RIPng This post will zoom in to the authentication process in RIP. This is largely the same for other protocols, so a lot of this information can be applied to other routing protocols.

CCIE blueprint: 3.4.a Implement and troubleshoot RIPv2 This post is part of a multipost series about RIP. Other posts in this series are: RIP RIP configuration part 2 RIP authentication RIP summarization Miscelanious RIP commands RIPng This post will cover the configuration of RIP. Basic RIP configuration is peanuts and done in seconds. There are some additional features that can be configured, but most of the time these won’t really be necessary.

CCIE blueprint: 3.4.a Implement and troubleshoot RIPv2 This post is part of a multipost series about RIP. Other posts in this series are: RIP RIP configuration part 1 RIP authentication RIP summarization Miscelanious RIP commands RIPng This post is a continuation of the previous post. This post will cover the following configuration items for RIP: RIPv1 and Ripv2 interoperability Bidirectional Forwarding Detection RIPv1 and RIPv2 interoperability By default, when you enable RIP it enables version 1.

CCIE blueprint: 3.4.a Implement and troubleshoot RIPv2 RIP is the easiest routing protocol on the CCIE R&S 5.1 blueprint. It is not a very widely used protocol anymore, but it is interesting to look into. I will create several posts about RIP in the near future. These are: RIP configuration part 1 RIP configuration part 2 RIP authentication RIP summarization Miscelanious RIP commands RIPng This first post will cover RIP basics

Direct Server Loadbalancing is a loadbalancing mechanism in which traffic is sent via a Virtual IP (VIP) to one or more Real Servers. These servers are in the same Layer 2 domain as the loadbalancer itself and will respond directly to the client without the return traffic going through the loadbalancer on the way back. This differs from loadbalancing based on source NAT or when using the loadbalancer as gateway. The following image shows Direct Server Return (DSR) Loadbalancing.

Since I started my journey to the CCIE certification I’ve constantly run in to the question “Do I know this good enough?”. This question is extremely difficult to answer because I have no real reference to compare myself to. This resulted in two trips to the exam center for the written exam. Luckily I passed on the second attempt, but it would have been nice to finish on the first attempt.

Welcome on my new site. I have changed the site from a Wordpress website to a Hugo website. There are several benefits to this: Since the pages are static load times are decreased dramatically Less chance of the site being hacked No more database hassle Ease of management with my favorite editor Since the pages are static several things have been disabled. I do not offer a possibility for comments anymore.
