This bridge is called “transparent bridging” because the […]
CCNA Quick Notes – Routing
Ensurepass 1.How do OSPF-enabled routers build adjacencies and exchange their routing tables? OSPF-enabled routers build adjacencies by sending Hello packets out through all OSPF-enabled interfaces. If these routers share a command link and agree on parameters set within their Hello packets then they become neighbors. If these parameters differ then […]
Wireless Networks
Ensurepass Conventional Ethernet networks require cables connected computers via hubs and switches.
