BGP vs OSPF – What’s the difference?
Introduction Using routing protocols, routers may automatically and dynamically exchange routing data. As each routing protocol has been developed to be ideally suited to a certain network implementation situation, there are several routing protocols to select from, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and BGP are two of the…

What is DTP – Dynamic Trunking Protocol?
Introduction The word trunking may be familiar to network engineers or students studying networking. Multiple VLANs (virtual LANs) may share the same physical connection between switches using the practice known as trunking. With this method, you may separate various traffic types for security and performance reasons while conserving ports, cables, and bandwidth. But how do…

What is Broadcast Domain in Networking?
Introduction The study of networking covers a wide range of topics and technologies. A logical subdivision of a computer network where all nodes may interact with one another by sending and receiving broadcast messages is known as the broadcast domain. Regardless of their destination address, broadcast messages are unique data packet types distributed to all…

VLAN vs Subnet – What’s the difference?
Introduction Networking is now crucial to the success of almost every business in the modern digital environment. The importance of understanding how VLAN and Subnet function has grown as networks have expanded in both complexity and size. In this blog, we will explain the basic difference, i.e., VLAN vs Subnet, that will assist in understanding…

iBGP vs eBGP – What’s the Difference?
Introduction One of the foundations of modern networking is the border gateway protocol or BGP. Without BGP working in the background to allow system communication, the modern internet as it is known today would not be able to operate. The routing protocol known as BGP has two different versions, i.e., eBGP and iBGP. Both provide…

What is HSRP in Networking?
Introduction Redundancy is a crucial component of every modern network. In this digital era, staying without a network for even a short time is hard. You should include some redundancy if you don’t want your firm to cease operating. All of your devices will stop communicating with the outside world if the default gateway fails…

What is the Difference between IDS and IPS?
Introduction Nowadays, attackers’ knowledge and sophistication level is increasing steadily, making a single defensive method against intruders insufficient in providing substantial security. Instead, organizations should prioritize implementing a comprehensive and multi-layered strategy that combines proactive and defensive measures to safeguard their network and assets from unauthorized individuals. That’s where IDS, IPS, and firewalls come into…

What is IGMP Snooping?
Introduction Today’s data transmission demands can’t be met by the inefficient and resource-intensive unicast method used by most networks. Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping was developed as a solution and is now often implemented in network multicast mode. In this blog, we will explain IGMP snooping, its working, functions, and applications. Let’s begin with…

Various kinds of OSI Layer Attacks || All 7 Layers
Introduction Cybersecurity is a dynamic field since hackers are always developing new methods of breaking into networks and stealing private data. Understanding the many forms of OSI layer attacks and strategies of cyberattacks is vital for establishing a successful defense against them. It is essential to understand the different kinds of cyberattacks at each layer…

What is a Subnet and How Subnetting Works?
Introduction The management of a network on a major scale is not easy. As networks continue to grow in size and complexity, network engineers are faced with the challenge of determining optimal routes for handling the substantial volume of traffic flowing through them. Subnetting is one of the solutions developed, but the question is, what…
