What is loopback address???

                         A computer on the network is identified by what is known as an IP address, which consists of four numbers separated by dots, such as 127.0.0.1. However, there is one address that cannot be used by any computer in the world, and that address is 127.0.0.1. The reason is that this address has been reserved as what is known as the loopback address. A loopback address is an address that tells the computer not to test its connections to another computer, but to test its own basic network setup. When we use "ping 127.0.0.1" command that tests whether the TCP/IP protocol stack of the machine is working properly.

Computer is Getting Slow while starting Windows???

If your system hangs about 2 or 3 minutes at startup, where you can't access the Startbutton or the Taskbar, it may be due to one specific service (Background Intelligent Transfer) running in the background.
Here's what you do:·
Click on Start/Run, type 'msconfig', then click 'OK'.·
Go to the 'Services' tab, find the 'Background Intelligent Transfer' service.·
Disable it, apply the changes & reboot

How to configure OSPF?

Router1>enable
Router1#configure terminal
Router1(config)#router ospf 1
Tip- (After entering in that protocol provide network ip's with their wildcard mask & area id of directly connected networks)

Router1(config-router)#network 192.168.12.0 0.0.0.255 Area 1
Router1(config-router)#network 192.168.13.0 0.0.0.255 Area 1
Router1(config-router)#network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 Area 1

Tip- (after doing all configration check your protocols configued or not)
Router1#show ip protocols
Tip- (Please keep Area id same on those who you want to be commiunicated)
Tip- (configure the same protocol on all routers in your network to happen communication between them)
check your network after all routers configured by using ping command

Confiuration of RIP

Router1>enable

Router1#configure terminal

Router1(config)#router rip


Tip- (After entering in that protocol provide network ip's of directly connected networks)


Router1(config-router)#network 192.168.12.0

Router1(config-router)#network 192.168.13.0

Router1(config-router)#network 192.168.1.0


Tip- (after doing all configration check your protocols configued or not)
Router1#show ip protocols


Tip- (configure the same protocol on all routers in your network to happen communication between them)
check your network after all routers configure by using ping command

Basic Router Configuration

Router>enable ( This is user mode)
Router#confiugre Terminal (This is Privilliged mode)
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Note – (To Give Hostname to Router)
Router(config)#hostname Router1 (This is configuration Mode)
Router1(config)#

Note - (To Configure interfaces)
Router1(config)#interface fastEthernate 0/0
Router1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.2.10 255.255.255.0
Router1(config-if)no shutdown

Router1(config-if)#
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up

Router1(config-if)#interface s2/0
Router1(config-if)#ip add 192.168.12.1 255.255.255.0
Router1(config-if)#clock rate 64000
Router1(config-if)#no shutdown

%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial2/0, changed state to down Tip- (it will be up when you configure remote interface of connected router)

Router1(config-if)#interface s2/0
Router1(config-if)#ip add 192.168.12.1 255.255.255.0
Router1(config-if)#clock rate 64000
Router1(config-if)#no shutdown

%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial3/0, changed state to down Tip- (it will be up when you configure remote interface of connected router)


Tip- (copy all your configuration to NVRAM by going in Privilliage mode so it will be saved)

Router1>enable
Router1#copy running-config startup-config
Destination filename [startup-config]?
Building configuration...
[OK]
Router1#

Distance Vector vs Link State Routing Protocol

Distance Vector:

•                    Distance Vector exchanges the routing updates periodically whether the topology is change or not, this will maximize the convergence time which increases the chance of routing loops.
•                    Secondly, the Distance Vector routing protocols rely on the information from their directly connected neighbors in order to calculate and accumulate route information                   
•                    Distance Vector routing protocols require very little overhead as compared to Link State routing protocols as measured by memory and processor power
•                    Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) are the examples of Distance Vector routing protocols

 Link State:

•                    Link State routing protocols send triggered change based updates when there is a topology change. After initial flood, pass small event based triggered link state updates to all other routers. This will minimize the convergence time that's why there is no chance of routing loops.
•                    Link State routing protocols do not rely solely on the information from the neighbors or adjacent router in order to calculate route information.
•                   Link State routing protocols have a system of databases that they use in order to calculate the best route to destinations in the network. An extra feature of Link State routing protocol is that they can detect media types along with other factors. This could increase the overhead as compare to Distance Vector routing protocols in order to measure by processor power and memory
•                    Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a classic example of Link State routing protocols.

Something about company and work

        Our company is providing networking services. That include developing a network, maintaining network. Also we are assembling computers as per customer requirements and also accepting AMC's. Providing the equipments like router, switches, cables etc.
        Shortly we are going to launch website of company where you will get all the information about us, working of company, services provided by company, clients of company but till then this is the medium for you to reach to us and vice versa.
        Till then we'll  provide you some useful information about networking concepts. Hope that will helpful for you.
