CCNA Recap: Routing Protocols (Distance Vector + Link State)

Distance Vector  & Link State
Interior and Exterior Gateway Protocols

——— Distance Vector ——————
           how far        which way
* good for small
* little configuration
- RIPv2 [IGP]
        - hop count, max 15
     




- EIGRP [IGP]
- neighbor adjacencies
- runs multiple protocols
- (Cisco proprietary
- ietf standard
* summary route distance 5
* internal distance 90
* external 170
        - bandwidth
                - lowest
        - Delay
            - adds those together through all the links it has to traverse
    - bandwidth + delay = feasible distance
    - unicast+multicast - 224.0.0.10
    - only those who need it

I only know what someone else told me.

hello - unreliable, multi
update -reliable uni/multi
ack - un uni
query -reliable uni/multi
reply - reliable un

— Link State ——————
AD = Administrative Distance.
 Are you up or are you down.
- up = get there
- down = no
Not hops but bandwidth cost
* scalable
* consider the speed

[These are also Interior Gateway Protocols]
* OSPF (AD = 110)
        * Enterprise
* IS-IS (AD - 115)
* provider networks
    * FP
    * OTV
        * = cisco proprietary

When adjacencies happen, a router will advertise its entire database, and each router has to have it’s own copy and they have to synchronize.

Not really advertising routes, enabling procol on those interfaces and allow the HELLOs out of them.

Shortest Path First algorithm

You’re not trying to reach the prefix

——LS———
Phase 1: Reliable flooding
 - each node knows the cost to neighbors
- each node knows the entire network topology

Phase 2: Route Calculation
- Dijkstra’s algorithm

========== =========== =========
AS - autonomous system (RFC 1930)
* independent entity, under your control

Unique AS # given by IANA
* who manage IP blocks and root servers

- BGP
    - Most popular!
    - De Facto standard!
    - Routes between one AS to another AS

ISPs have different AS numbers.
Routers know where the different numbers are (BGP, border gateway protocol)

Making KPI Dashboards with PowerBI

 While this is the free tier, I cannot share or collaborate with others, nor can I publish content to other people's workspaces, but they will not stop me from screenshooting and recording these self-taught adventures,so! I'm doing this because I idly searched "Mattel careers" and "Information Technology", and seeing a bulletpoint saying the following: Analytical and reporting skills such as creating dashboards and establishing KPIs such as experience with PowerBI, Cognos, Tableau, and Google Data Lake/AWS is preferred And thought "Well, I've used Tableau, and I've heard about PowerBI,  even if its in-demandness is questionable , so how similar is it? And can I write about it?"  First, PowerBI (PIB) does have a downloadable, local version, but apparently Windows-only. I could download the .exe but I couldn't run it / drag it to applications on my MacBook.  Not a problem, we'll use the online SaaS version, and a dataset found here, ...

A 2-week Trial of T-Mobile Home Internet

     The Xfinity app showed usage of the past 3 months: We used less than 40% each month, for about $80 USD a month.   No thanks! That cuts into the movie budget! Before we save some money (about $15/mo), let's test how T-Mobile Internet unlimited data works for 2 weeks.    There are 15 devices for this test; Smart TVs: 4 Laptops: 4 Printer: 1 Smart Home Speakers: 3 Game Consoles: 1 Phones: 1 (There are other phones in the home but they stick with data) Other: 1 Total : 15  I made tables for 3 entries a day across 3 days to test the Xfinity service we have. Here's one;   Xfinity is pretty speedy - Download times are between 227 - 236 Mbps, Latency between 24.5 - 25.5, Jitter between 5 - 6.68, and 0 packet loss.  Let's quickly define the terms in the table;    Date/Time - The date and time of the data gathered. Download (Mpbs) - How fast your network gets data. Upload (Mbps) - How fast your network uploads data. Latency ...

Recon and SSID - Mapping With VisiWave Site Survey

My laptop is refurbished. I've written about how there are a few ... quirks. Being a technology professional, I felt okay with adopting an older machine, knowing I had the skill to fix moderate issues. From dying drivers to monitor massacres, I've ID'd, solved, and documented a lot of issues.  The newest one was my Wi-Fi adapter dropping the connection to a specific extender. While troubleshooting, I was curious about doing recon of WiFi networks and broadcasting devices anyway. That issue? A power setting. It was so determined to save power, it would disconnect. The extender is also flirting with the older end of 6 years old.  The battery needs to be replaced, but that's new to me. As a Windows laptop, there are a plethora of options to pick. How do you decide which one is safest?  I am suddenly concerned about this despite having 3 unofficial, 15$ Macbook Air chargers from eBay, and no explosions. But let's move onto the Site Survey - Where can I find the stronges...
