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
A multi-protocol system refers to a technology or architecture that supports multiple communication protocols simultaneously. This capability allows different devices and networks to communicate effectively regardless of the specific protocols they use. In networking, multi-protocol systems are essential for interoperability and ensuring seamless data exchange between heterogeneous environments. They enable devices with different protocol implementations … Read more
TSN in SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) stands for Transmission Sequence Number. It is a 32-bit identifier used to uniquely identify each chunk of data sent by an SCTP endpoint. TSNs are assigned to chunks when they are transmitted and are used to detect and handle out-of-order delivery, retransmissions, and duplicate chunks at the receiver’s … Read more
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are cryptographic protocols designed to provide secure communication over a computer network, typically between a client (such as a web browser) and a server (such as a web server). They ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity during transmission, protecting sensitive information from eavesdropping, tampering, or forgery. … Read more
The protocol commonly used for remote login is SSH (Secure Shell). SSH is a cryptographic network protocol that allows secure communication and data transfer over an unsecured network. It provides a secure alternative to traditional remote login methods such as Telnet by encrypting data transmitted between the client and server, preventing eavesdropping and tampering. SSH … Read more
