OSPF Configuration

Configuring OSPF 


Step 1: Enter Configuration Mode
Router> enable
Router# configure terminal

Step 2: Enable OSPF
Enable OSPF with a process ID. The process ID is locally significant and can be any number.
Router(config)#router ospf <process-Id>

Step 3: Set the OSPF Router ID
Setting a unique OSPF Router ID is optional but recommended for stability and troubleshooting. The Router ID should be a unique IPv4 address within the OSPF domain.

Router(config-router)# router-id <router-id>

Step 4: Define Networks to Include in OSPF
Specify which networks will participate in OSPF and their corresponding areas. Ensure the areas match across all routers in the OSPF domain.

Router(config-router)# network <network-address> <wildcard-mask> area <area-id>

Step 5: Save the configuration
Router(config-router)#exit
Router(config)#do write / do wr

Java Overview

What is Java?  Java is a popular programming language for developing web, mobile, and desktop applications. It is a high-level and object-oriented programming language. It is platform-independent. It required the Java Virtual Machine(JVM) to run the Java code. Java is similar to C/C++. Application of Java Mobile Application Desktop Application Web Application Embedded System Smart Card Payment System Games History of Java Java's history dates back to the early 1990s when a group of researchers at Sun Microsystems led by James Gosling started a "green project". The goal of this project was to create a portable home-appliance software that could run on embedded processor chips. Initially, the team planned to use C++ programming language for this project. However, they encountered portability issues with C++ and decided to develop a new programming language from scratch. This led to the creation of the Oak programming language, named after an oak tree outside Gosling's o...

Configuring Static NAT for Any Network Scenario

Introduction Network Address Translation (NAT) is a fundamental technique used in networking to translate private IP addresses to public IP addresses and vice versa. Static NAT is a method where a specific private IP address is mapped to a specific public IP address.  Configuration Steps Router Configuration Enable NAT Service Router(config)# ip nat inside source static [inside-local] [inside-global] Replace [inside-local] with the private IP address to be translated. Replace [inside-global] with the public IP address to translate to. Configure Interfaces Router(config)# interface [inside-interface] Router(config-if)# ip address [inside-ip-address] [subnet-mask] Router(config-if)# ip nat inside Router(config-if)# no shutdown Router(config-if)# exit Router(config)# interface [outside-interface] Router(config-if)# ip address [outside-ip-address] [subnet-mask] Router(config-if)# ip nat outside Router(config-if)# no shutdown Router(config-if)# exit Replace [inside-interf...
