Seven Second Subnetting

 Seven Second Subnetting

  • Convert IP address and subnet mask to decimal
    • Use chart to convert between CIDR-block notation and decimal
    • Same chart also shows the number of devices per subnet
  • Determine network/subnet address
    • Second chart shows the starting subnet boundary 
  • Determine broadcast address
    • Chart below shows the ending subnet boundary 
  • Calculate first and last usable IP address
    • Add one from network address, subtract one from broadcast address

Software Defined Netorking

Image
SDN (Software Defined Networking) Networking devices have two functional planes of operation Control plane Data plane Direct programmable Configuration is different than forwarding Agile Changes can be made dynamically Centrally managed - Global view, single pane of glass Programmatically configured Orchestration - No human intervention Open standards / vendor neutral A standard interface to the network Distributed switching Remove the physical segmentation A virtual network distributed across all physical platforms When a VM moves, the network doesn't change Servers will always connect to the right VLAN

Unicasts, Multicasts, and Broadcasts

Image
Unicast One station sending information to another station Send information between two systems Web surfing, file transfers Does not scale optimally for streaming media Multicast Delivery of information to interested systems One to many Multimedia delivery, stock exchanges Very specialized Difficult to scale across large networks Broadcast Send information to everyone at once One packet, received by everyone Limited scope - the broadcast domain Routing updates, ARP requests Not used in IPv6 - focus on multicast

Static and Dynamic Routing

Image
Routing Send IP packets across the network Forwarding decisions are based on destination IP address Each router only knows the next step The packet asks for directions every hop along the way The list of directions is held in a routing table Routing Different topologies use different data link protocols Ethernet, HDLC, etc. Each router rewrites the frame to add its own data-link header The IP packet remains intact Static routing Administratively define the routes - You're in control Advantages Easy to configure and manage on smaller networks No overhead from routing protocols (CPU, memory, bandwidth) Easy to configure on sub networks (only one way out) More secure - no routing protocols to analyze Disadvantages Difficult to administer on larger networks No automatic method to prevent routing loops If there's a network change, you have to manually update the routes No automatic rerouting if an outage occurs Dynamic routing Routers send routes to other routers Routing tables are ...
