Hi Ankit, First of all try to understand that RD (Route Distinguisher) is the concept of BGP, not individual prefix. RD helps BGP to make same prefixes identical, When same prefix comes to the BGP it will choose only one path as per the best path algorithm. What to do if two different customers are using same range prefixes in their enterprise ??? At that time provider creates VRF that separat... (more)

As per cisco Forwarding address is selected on ASBR using the following rules: If there is a loopback configured in the area then IP address of loopback is selected as forwarding address. If first condition is not met then IP address of first interface on the OSPF interface list is selected as forwarding address. You can see OSPF interface list by using "show ip ospf interface brief" command. T... (more)

The Designated Router uses to cut down the number of adjacency in Multi access network like Ethernet. (Just like "Route Reflector" in case of BGP)

That reduces routing protocol traffic & size of database.

Reading reviews online and implementing changes on the basis of them is totally different from the real world. If you are CCIE definitely it means that you are certified from CISCO and you have knowledge wherein you cannot compare yourself to a professional guy working in MNC from past 5-6 years (average) and is CCIE as well.  No institute in the world can guarantee you a job on the basis ofÂ...

Whenever we redistribute some route information from one routing domain to another, we provide some metric value manually that is what we call "Seed Metric" We seeds some value manually because of metric compatibility issue in between different routing protocols. In case of RIP it's hope count, In EIGRP we have complex formula involving bandwidth, delay, reliability and load. etc...... (more)

In OSPF , routes are redistributed with default metric that is 20,we call this metric 20 seed metric.

Rule of split horizon says, If router get some routing update from it's neighbor, it will send it to all the routing enabled ports except the one from the update came in on.   In Figure, When R2 receive an update about 10.0.0.0/8 network, it will never send it back to the R1 on same port. In this example, R2 will send an update to R3 & R4 respectively. The Split Horizon concept is used... (more)

Diffrence between Rip v1 and v2 :  RIPv1 :  It is classfull. It supports VLSM ( Variable length Subnet Mask ) . Messages in Rip v1 are broadcasted to address 255.255.255.255 Don't support discontigous subnet mask. Don't support any authentication. Networks are advertised at their classfull boundary. Command  : Router rip version 1 exit Rip v2 :  It is classless. It s... (more)

Milan answered this on Switch Apr 14
When we talk about the difference between router & switch,  we always try to understand in perspective of OSI Model. You should have basic knowledge about OSI Model. There are 7 layers in OSI Model : Physical Layer Data Link Layer Network Layer Transport Layer Session Layer Presentation Layer Application Layer Switch is a device that works on Layer 2 of OSI Model (Data Link Layer) , ...

I agree with you.....as per design point of view, you always want to prefer protocol based on convergence optimization & scalability.....at the end no one want to deal with proprietary, although EIGRP is open standard now but no other venders who implemented EIGRP in their IOS code.
