    All about MTU and Fragmentation.

    ByMrityunjay Singh May 19, 2020January 9, 2023

    Topology So, in this post we will cover the mtu and fragmentation cases. So, every interface/port have its capacity to send data across the line or port. So, the Maximum transfer unit (MTU). When I say MTU it usually means at layer 2 frame, but the actual data formation take place at layer 3. So,…

    Gratuitous ARP is either request or reply packet that is needed in some cases. usually when we assigned any ip on interface or host boot the first packet it send is GARP. GARP packet have Sender and Target IP address same .Source mac address is of machine whereas destination mac is broadcast. GARP IMP Question…

    BGP Route-Reflector Design

    ByMrityunjay Singh January 1, 2020January 9, 2023

    A route learned by one ibgp peer won’t be advertised to another ibgp peer. This is called BGP split horizon rule. This rule is used to avoid loop in ibgp cases. To mitigate this, we have following option by which one ibgp learned routes can be advertised to another ibgp peer. In this article we…

    Different Static Route Options

    ByMrityunjay Singh March 3, 2019January 9, 2023

    In this scenario router IOU1 already know the outgoing interface as we configured the ip route specifying the outgoing interface. So here IOU1 wil check the routing table and will get the outgoing interface detail in single lookup.

    Since the network is Ethernet, the IOU1 must know the L2 address, so it will construct ARP packet having source IP address of PC1 and destination of 30.30.30.2. Source mac of IOU e0/1 interface and DMAC as 0.0.0.0.
