Trace Route is a useful tool that is used to determine the path taken by packets when going to a certain IP Address.
If you have multiple paths to a certain address and you want to know what exact path is taken, this is the tool for you.
But how does it work exactly? Let’s take a look.
It’s the hidden staple of modern day life.
A device connects wirelessly/plugs into a network and after a few minutes everything just… works (usually). You can browse the internet just fine and its like nothing much was done at all.
But how exactly does that work? What happened there behind the scenes? One aspect of the invisible process is the allocation of an IP address to your device. This post will take a brief look at how the DHCP process assigns an IP to devices on the network.

A key aspect to troubleshooting Cisco IP Phones is understanding how they boot up and register in the first place.
This post is written with the explicit intention of simplifying the process as much as possible.

When it comes to file transfers, these are the protocols you should know about.
Let’s get started by going through each protocol, its main features and differences from the others.
One of the ways to secure your EIGRP configuration is using Authentication.
Let’s imagine a scenario where someone wants to sabotage the routes in your network to replace them with their own, or even to remove them entirely. Without any EIGRP Authentication, they are free to do so.
Let’s see how it works:
