Last post by config t - May 24, 2024, 02:56:49 PMWhile you are learning get familiar with the debug commands and why to use them. Break stuff in your lab and see what kind of logs it generates.

Last post by deanwebb - April 29, 2024, 09:20:10 AMStart with RIP, it is easiest.
Then go to OSPF and see why it is used instead of RIP in organizations with any level of sophistication.
End with BGP, the big Internet protocol, also used inside of multinational organizations with extensive routing requirements between branches.

Last post by icecream-guy - April 28, 2024, 06:22:14 AMJust search your favorite search engine for the topics mentioned
like this. I searched ospf dr and bdr elections
Understand Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) - Design Guide
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/open-shortest-path-first-ospf/7039-1.html
as for books, I would recommend
Cisco Press - CCIE Professional Development Routing TCPIP, Volume I.
you can find it online somewhere if you look hard enough.

Home and Small Office Networking / Re: Speed test - affected by o...
Last post by deanwebb - March 29, 2024, 02:50:30 PMWe had gig speeds on PCs 10 years ago. Yours should be fine - it's not the processor that limits speed.
Your Internet provider would have you test speed directly from the modem, with no device in between.
For my Internet, I'm getting 600-700 Mbps down and 30-40 up, as it's cable internet. If you are on fiber it should be very close to 1Gbps up and down UNLESS there are lots of other households sharing the line. If you get faster speeds when everyone in your neighborhood is asleep, then you have a shared connection that impacts performance.

Home and Small Office Networking / Speed test - affected by old a...
Last post by Kawazuki - March 29, 2024, 09:52:00 AMI have been testing my broadband speed on a PC. It is 10 years old and has this processor: AMD A6 3500 Tri Core 2.1GHz. Would the PC be be capable of the speed testing I am doing? I am using Ookla and getting about 450Mbps but it should (according to Virgin) be around a Gig. PC connects via a 25 metre cat6 cable.
Also there is and unmanaged switch in the line, when testing no other traffic would have been going through it. It has 1Gb ports but maybe being a cheapo item it isn't capable of throughput? It is a D-Link DGS-1008D.
Any comments welcome,
