SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Cisco devices refers to the implementation of SNMP for network management and monitoring purposes using Cisco networking equipment. SNMP is a widely adopted protocol that allows network administrators to manage and monitor network devices, including routers, switches, firewalls, and servers. Cisco devices support SNMP as a means to gather operational … Read more
EIGRP, or Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol, is a Cisco proprietary routing protocol used in computer networks, particularly in IP networks. It is designed to support multiple network layer protocols and facilitate efficient routing within a network. EIGRP operates within a single autonomous system (AS), allowing routers within the same AS to dynamically share routing … Read more
The purpose of the POP (Post Office Protocol) protocol is to enable email clients to retrieve emails from a mail server. POP operates in a client-server model where the email client connects to the POP server to download messages from the server to the client’s local device. Once downloaded, emails are typically removed from the … Read more
An Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGP) is a type of routing protocol used within a single autonomous system (AS) in a computer network. Its primary function is to exchange routing information between routers within the same AS, allowing them to dynamically update and maintain routing tables. IGPs facilitate efficient communication and routing decisions based on … Read more
IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is primarily used for email management and is not specifically tied to IoT (Internet of Things) applications. In IoT contexts, protocols like MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) or CoAP (Constrained Application Protocol) are more commonly used for communication between IoT devices and applications due to their lightweight nature, efficiency in … Read more
A gateway protocol is a type of protocol used by routers to facilitate communication between networks that use different network architectures or protocols. It acts as an intermediary that translates data between incompatible networks, ensuring seamless data transmission. Gateway protocols enable routers to exchange routing information and make intelligent forwarding decisions based on network conditions … Read more
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used for transferring files between a client and a server on a computer network, typically the internet. It enables users to upload files from their local computers to a remote server or download files from a server to their local systems. FTP operates on a … Read more
The function of the syslog service is to collect, process, and store log messages from various sources within a computer system or network. It serves as a centralized logging mechanism that allows administrators to monitor system events, track performance metrics, diagnose issues, and maintain security by capturing relevant information from applications, services, and the operating … Read more
Syslog is a standardized protocol and service used for logging and collecting system and application messages within a computing environment. It provides a centralized mechanism for managing and storing logs generated by various devices, applications, and operating systems. Syslog is used primarily for monitoring system health, diagnosing issues, auditing activities, and maintaining security by capturing … Read more
In CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) certification and networking terminology, the routing table refers to a critical component within a router’s operating system that stores information about available routes to different network destinations. It is maintained dynamically by routing protocols or configured manually by network administrators. The routing table is fundamental to the router’s decision-making … Read more
