    CHAPTER 6 Using the Command-Line Interface This chapter covers the following exam topics: 1.0 Network Fundamentals 1.6 Select the appropriate cabling type based on implementation requirements NOTE This chapter primarily explains foundational skills required before you can explore the roughly 20 exam topics that use the verbs configure, verify, and troubleshoot. To create an Ethernet LAN, a network engineer starts by planning. They consider the requirements, create a design, buy the switches, contract to install cables, and configure the switches to use the right features. The CCENT and CCNA Routing and Switching exams focus on skills like understanding how LANs work, configuring different switch features, verifying that those features work ptg17246291 correctly, and finding the root cause of the problem when a feature is not working cor- rectly. The first skill you need to learn before doing all the configuration, verification, and troubleshooting tasks is to learn how to access and use the user interface of the switch, called the command-line interface (CLI). This chapter begins that process by showing the basics of how to access the switch’s CLI. These skills include how to access the CLI and how to issue verification commands to check on the status of the LAN. This chapter also includes the processes of how to configure the switch and how to save that configuration. Note that this chapter focuses on processes that provide a foundation for most every exam topic that includes the verbs configure, verify, and troubleshoot. Chapter 7, “Analyzing Ethernet LAN Switching,” Chapter 8, “Configuring Basic Switch Management,” and Chapter 9, “Configuring Switch Interfaces,” then examine particular commands you can use to verify and configure different switch features.

  • Simulation of Inter-Vlan Routing Communication
    CIKITUSI JOURNAL FOR MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH ISSN NO: 0975-6876 SIMULATION OF INTER-VLAN ROUTING COMMUNICATION K. SATHISH P.G. Student, Department of Computer Applications, Sri Ramakrishna Mission Vidyalaya College of Arts and Science, Coimbatore Abstract: This Project work is totally primarily based upon VLAN technology. It’s a technology that is employed to logically divide the network into totally different broadcast domains. So the packets are delivered among the port of same VLAN cluster. Between VLAN directing method is a procedure which is utilized to permit diverse VLANs to impart. So as to impart we utilize switch interface or multilayer switches. All alternative switch ports connect with user devices, in order that they would wish to be organized as access ports. We have executed this Inter-VLAN steering ideas utilizing Packet Tracer Tool 6.0.1. Keywords- VLAN; Subinterface; Inter-VLAN; VLAN ID; Access mode; Trunk mode I. INTRODUCTION: The VLAN technology functions square measure accustomed phase the network into totally different broadcast domains. The packets were delivered between ports with a similar VLAN cluster member. VLANs divide broadcast domains during a computer network setting. Whenever hosts in one VLAN have to be compelled to communicate with hosts in another VLAN, the traffic should be routed between them. This can be referred to as inter-VLAN routing. On Catalyst switches it's accomplished by the creation of Layer three interfaces (switch virtual interfaces (SVIs) ). Inter-VLAN routing is employed to allow totally different VLANs to speak. Totally different router interface configurations facilitate inter-VLAN routing. VLAN may be a distinctive broadcast domain.

Whiteboxlösningar är ett växande koncept som är relativt outforskat och den större delen av nätverksmarknaden domineras fortfarande av etablerade märken. En brist på jämförelser mellan whiteboxslöningar och etablerade märken är en bidragande orsak till denna rapport. Cygate ville veta om det fanns några whiteboxlösningar som kunde mäta sig prestandamässigt mot en av deras nuvarande enheter. Olika whiteboxlösningar granskades och analyserades med fokus på porthastighet, antal portar och stöd för utvalda protokoll. Den teoretiska undersökningen av olika whiteboxlösningar gjorde att det gick att konstatera att det fanns en whiteboxlösning som levde upp till liknade prestanda som den nuvarande nätverksenheten. Whiteboxlösningen levde upp till de kraven som ställts från Cygate och visade sig vara mer ekonomiskt lönsam och på vissa punkter ha bättre prestanda. Granskningen visar att

  • Network Optimizations for Distributed Storage Networks
    NETWORK OPTIMIZATIONS FOR DISTRIBUTED STORAGE NETWORKS A Thesis by COREY CASEY MORRISON Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee, Alexander Sprintson Committee Members, Narasimha Reddy Guofei Gu Head of Department, Miroslav M. Begovic December 2016 Major Subject: Computer Engineering Copyright 2016 Corey Casey Morrison ABSTRACT Distributed file systems enable the reliable storage of exabytes of information on thou- sands of servers distributed throughout a network. These systems achieve reliability and performance by storing three or more copies of data in different locations across the net- work. The management of these copies of data is commonly handled by intermediate servers that track and coordinate the placement of data in the network. This introduces potential network bottlenecks, as multiple transfers to fast storage nodes can saturate the network links connecting intermediate servers to the storage. The advent of open Network Operating Systems presents an opportunity to alleviate this bottleneck, as it is now possi- ble to treat network elements as intermediate nodes in this distributed file system and have them perform the task of replicating data across storage nodes. In this thesis, we propose a new design paradigm for distributed file systems, driven by a new fundamental component of the system which runs on network elements such as switches or routers. We describe the component’s architecture and how it can be in- tegrated into existing distributed file systems to increase their performance. To measure this performance increase over current approaches, we emulate a distributed file system by creating a block-level storage array distributed across multiple iSCSI targets presented in a network.
