EIGRP Case Study

the source is from here

EIGRP

Instructions

Plan, design, and implement the complex international Travel Agency (ITA) EIGRP network based on the above diagram and following specifications.

Implement the design in the lab set of routers; verify that all configurations are operational and functioning according to the guidelines.

 Scenario

The ITA needs its core network set up with EIGRP with the following specifications. It has also recently acquired Local Travel Agency, which was running OSPF. Use the addressing scheme shown in the diagram.

  • The ITA core network is running EIGRP in AS 1.
  • Summarize the loopback interfaces on R2 with the best possible summary to the other EIGRP routers
  • Loopback 192 on R3 represents a connection to the Internet. Originate a default route into EIGRP from R3.
  • The Local Travel Agency router, R4, needs to communicate with the ITA core via OSPF area 0.
  • Redistribute OSPF into EIGRP.
  • Originate a default route into the OSPF process from R3.
  • Configure R2 to act as a DHCP server on the Ethernet subnet between R2 and R3.

NOTE: For EIGRP to propagate the route, the network specified by the ip default-network command must be known to EIGRP. This means the network must be an EIGRP-derived network in the routing table, or the static route used to generate the route to the network must be redistributed into EIGRP, or advertised into these protocols using the network command.

TIP: In a complex topology, many networks can be identified as candidate defaults. Without any dynamic protocols running, you can configure your router to choose from a number of candidate default routes based on whether the routing table has routes to networks other than 0.0.0.0/0. The ip default-network command enables you to configure robustness into the selection of a gateway of last resort. Rather than configuring static routes to specific next hops, you can have the router choose a default route to a particular network by checking in the

Routing table.

In the past few years, as the number of hosts connected to the Internet has grown beyond expectations, it has become apparent that the present IP addressing scheme imposes limitations on network size. This has led to two concepts for IP network administrators: subnetting and supernetting.

When a large network is subnetted, the network is divided into at least two smaller subnetworks, with each subnetwork (subnet) having its own subnetwork address (subnetid). When supernetting is performed, several small Class C networks are combined to create one large network, or supernetwork.

In this Daily Drill Down, I’ll cover the procedures involved in subnetting Class A, B, and C networks as well as those involved in supernetting Class C networks.

Subnetting
Each IP address is 32 bits long. A portion of each IP address represents the network (netid), and a portion represents the host (hostid). This means that IP addressing imposes its own hierarchy to follow for reaching any host on an internetwork. The network is first reached using the netid, and then the specific host is reached using the hostid. This addressing scheme approaches all networks as if they are just one large network with several hosts. If this addressing were the only one allowed, there would be two serious limitations on network design:

  • Hosts on the network could not be organized into groups. With this scheme, you could not create separate networks for departments within an organization.
  • All networks would be at the same level. If all hosts were connected to the same physical network, bandwidth would be quickly consumed during peak usage hours. All users would be sending and receiving over the same cable.

The effect of having all hosts connected to the same physical network is shown in Figure A.

Figure A
In this example, all our hosts are connected to the same physical network.

In Figure A, the hosts are all connected to the same Class B network, with the network address 143.15.3.0. In a Class B network, there are up to 65,534 hosts. If all of these hosts used the same cable, it would be extremely difficult for users to send and receive information efficiently.

A possible solution is to divide one large network into several smaller networks through subnetting. Figure B shows the effect of dividing a large Class B network into three smaller subnetworks.

Figure B
Now the Marketing and Finance departments each have their own subnets: 143.15.4.0 and 143.15.5.0, respectively.

In Figure B, the Marketing and Finance departments now each have their own subnets: 143.15.4.0, and 143.15.5.0, respectively. In addition, the router now uses two interfaces—143.15.4.100 and 143.15.5.100—to provide a separate gateway for each subnetwork. The effect of subnetting the original large Class B network is to reduce the network congestion caused by having all hosts on one large network use the same physical cable. In addition, isolating network problems now becomes easier because problems can be isolated within a smaller subnetwork.

To hosts outside the organization, the effect of subnetting is invisible. All IP information destined for either the 143.15.4.0 subnet or the 143.15.5.0 subnet still goes to the same router. However, when information arriving from the Internet reaches the router, the destination IP address is interpreted differently.

The router now knows that the original 142.15.3.0 network has been subnetted into two smaller subnetworks. The router interprets IP address information in the following manner:

  • The first two bits, or octets, 143.15, are used to define the netid (143.15.0.0 or 143.15.4.0).
  • The third octet is used to define the subnetid (143.15.4.0 or 143.15.5.0).
  • The last octet is used to define the hostid—for example, 143.15.5.31.

Subnetting a large network immediately creates a third level of hierarchy to the IP address format. So now there are three levels:

  • Netid—Defines the entire site within the organization
  • Subnetid—Defines the physical subnetwork
  • Hostid—Identifies each host connected to the subnetwork

This also means that when IP information is sent to the network from the Internet, three steps are involved in routing the information:

  1. The IP packet is delivered to the site (143.15.0.0).
  2. The packet is forwarded to the correct subnetwork (143.15.4.0 or 143.15.5.0).
  3. The packet is delivered to the correct host.

Let’s take a look at a Class B network with and without subnetting:

Class B network without subnetting
Netid Hostid
143.15 .3.20

Class B network with subnetting
Netid Subnetid Hostid
143.15 .3 .20

Subnet masking
Subnet masking is a process used to extract the physical network address from an IP address. Actually, masking may be done whether there is a subnet in place or not. If there is no subnet, masking extracts the network address. If there is a subnet, masking extracts the subnetwork address.

The first step in understanding subnet masking is to understand how a netmask is created. For example, let’s assume we want to determine the netmask for the 192.168.1.0 network. In binary format, 192.168.1.0 is written as:
11000000.10101000.00000001.00000000

The three leftmost bits are 110, so we know that this is a Class C address. This means that the first 24 bits are used for the netid and the last 8 bits are used for the hostid. To determine the netmask, set all the network bits to 1 and all the host bits to zero. In binary format, this is:
11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000

Converted to decimal format, this gives us a netmask of 255.255.255.0. To determine the netmask, just remember that all the netid bits are set to 1 and all the hostid bits are set to 0. Let’s look at another example. A network has 10.0.0.0 for the netid. In binary format, this address translates to:
00001010.00000000.00000000.00000000

When we set all the network bits to 1 and all the host bits to 0, we get:
11111111.00000000.00000000.00000000

Bitwise AND operations
The principle behind bitwise AND operations is simple: If the first operator has a value of 1 (true) AND the second operator has a value of 1 (true), then the value returned is true. In all other cases, the value is false (0).

Let’s look at an example. To determine if the IP address 192.168.1.130 belongs to the local network—which has a netmask of 255.255.255.128—the computer sending the IP packet performs the following:
11000000.10101000.00000001.10000010 (which is 192.168.1.130)
11111111.11111111.11111111.10000000(which is 255.255.255.128)
___________________________________
11000000.10101000.00000001.10000000 (which is 192.168.1.128)

In this case, the bitwise operation returns a network address of 192.168.1.128 for the IP address 192.168.1.130.

Now let’s look at another example. When a Class C network is left intact, the netmask is 255.255.255.0. If we want to create two individual subnets, we must first create a netmask.

This is accomplished by setting one or more bits in the host portion of the default mask to 1. To divide the 192.168.1.0 network into two equal subnetworks, we set the most significant (leftmost) bit in the host portion of the address to 1. This gives us:
11111111.11111111.1111111.10000000 (which is 255.255.255.128)

This produces a new netmask that divides the original 192.168.1.0 network into two equal subnetworks: the 192.168.1.0 subnet and the 192.168.1.128 subnet. Both networks use the same netmask: 192.168.1.128. Now let’s try another bitwise AND operation. Given the IP address 192.168.1.21, let’s determine which network this address belongs to by performing a bitwise AND operation:
11000000.10101000.00000001.00010101 (which is 192.168.1.21)
11111111.11111111.11111111.10000000 (which is 255.255.255.128)
_________________________________
11000000.10101000.00000001.00000000 (which is 192.168.1.0)

The bitwise AND operation returns a network address of 192.168.1.0 for the IP address 192.168.1.21.

Now try the same operation for the IP address 192.168.1.140:
11000000.10101000.00000001.10001100 (which is 192.168.1.140)
11111111.11111111.11111111.10000000 (which is 192.168.1.128)
__________________________________
11000000.10101000.00000001.10000000 (which is 192.168.1.128)

For the IP address 192.168.1.140, the bitwise AND operation returns a network address of 192.168.1.128.

To determine how many subnets can be created from a full Class A, B, or C network, use the formula:
Number of subnets = 2x – 2

where x represents the number of host bits.

For example, let’s say 8 host bits are available in a Class C network. Although it would appear that there are 27, or 128 possible subnets, we also lose some IP addresses for broadcast and network addresses. Because of these practical limitations, most administrators limit Class C subnetting to 16 subnets.

Linux comes with a very useful utility for determining which network an IP address belongs to. This tool is capable of calculating the broadcast address, netmask, network, and network address for any given IP address/netmask combination. The ipcalc tool is easy to use. Simply enter the IP address and subnet mask into ipcalc. For example, to determine the broadcast and network addresses for the IP address 192.168.1.1 with a netmask of 255.255.255.128, use the command:
ipcalc –network –broadcast 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.128

The ipcalc command would then return the following values:
BROADCAST=192.168.1.127
NETWORK=192.168.1.0

Other IP calculator tools include a tool for the Palm Pilot (called IPcalc) andIPCalc for the Windows operating system.

Subnetting examples
Below, I have outlined examples for subnetting Class A, B, and C networks. In each example, I offer a table of how the network looks with the original subnet masking and then with the new subnet masking.

Subnetting Class A networks
First, remember some key points about Class A networks:

  • The first byte in a Class A address is the netid.
  • The remaining three bytes are the hostid.
  • A Class A network may have up to 16,777,214 (224 minus 2) hosts connected to the network.

For this example, we use an organization with a Class A network with the network address 33.0.0.0. There is now a requirement for at least 1,000 subnetworks. Using this information, the administrator can make the following decisions:

  • The organization will actually require at least 1,002 subnetworks to account for subnetids composed of all 1’s and all 0’s.
  • The minimum number bits that may be assigned for subnetting is 10 (210 = 1,024).
  • This leaves 16 bits for use as hostids.
  • IP addresses with all subnetid bits set to 1 and all subnetid bits set to 0 are reserved.
  • This leaves a maximum of 16,382 (214 minus 2) hosts connected to each subnetwork.

Class A network with original subnet masking
Netid Hostid
00100001. 00000000.00000000.00000000
Default mask 255.0.0.0

Class A network with new subnet masking
Netid Subnetid Hostid
00100001. 11111111.11 000000.0000000
New Subnet Mask 255.255.192.0

Now we identify the subnetworks. The subnetid actually contains 10 bits. The last two bits in the subnetid belong to the third byte of the original IP address. The last two bits represent 26, or 64, and 27, or 128. This means that the first subnetid available for use is 33.0.64.0, and the last subnetid available is 33.255.128.0.

Now we’ll show the network with the default netmask and with subnet masking applied.

Class A network with the default netmask
First subnet This network IP First address Last address Broadcast
33.0.64.0 33.0.64.0 33.0.60.1 33.0.60.254 33.0.60.255

Class A network with subnet masking applied
Last subnet This network IP First address Last address Broadcast

A Class B network uses the first two bytes of the IP address for the netid and the last two bytes for the hostid. A Class B network can have one large physical network with up to 65,534 (216 minus 2) hosts. Let’s look at an example of subnetting on a large Class B network.

Let’s assume your company has obtained a Class B network with the network address 130.20.0.0, and it now needs a minimum of 12 subnetworks. Let’s determine the subnet mask and configuration for each subnet.

In this example, your company will need a minimum of 14 subnets. This accounts for the 12 required subnets, plus two subnets reserved for special purposes. This requires the new subnet mask to have an additional 4 bits (24 = 16). Here is the Class B network before and after the subnet mask is applied.

Class B network with original subnet mask
Netid Hostid
10000001.00010100. 00000000.00000000
Subnet mask = 255.255.0.0

Class B network with new subnet mask
Netid Subnetid Hostid
10000001.00010100 1111 0000.00000000
New subnet mask = 255.255.240.0

Using the new subnet mask 255.255.240.0, the network is now divided into 16 subnetworks, with two network addresses reserved for special purposes. This new subnet mask leaves 12 bits to define hostids on each subnet. The new configuration allows for 4,096 (212) hosts to be connected to each subnetwork. With the first address reserved to define the subnetwork and the last address reserved for a broadcast address, there may actually be a maximum of 4,094 hosts on each subnet. The range of netids used for the new subnetted network is from 130.20.16.0 to 130.20.224.0.

In the example below, I’m subnetting a Class B network into 14 smaller subnets. This forces me to use four bits (1111) in the new subnet mask. This creates 16 new subnets. Two of these subnets are reserved: one subnet, with all subnetid bits set to 1, and another subnet with all subnetid bits set to 0.

First subnet Subnet address First address Last address Broadcast
130.20.16.0 130.20.16.0 130.20.16.1 130.20.31.254 130.20.31.255
Last subnet Subnet address First address Last address Broadcast
130.20.224.0 130.20.224.0 130.20.224.1 130.20.239.254 130.30.239.255

Subnetting Class C networks
Class C IP addresses use three bytes for the netid and one byte for the hostid. A business using a class address may have one physical network and up to 254 (28 minus 2) hosts connected to that network. The company could also subnet the one large physical network into several smaller subnetworks. Let’s look at an example of subnetting a Class C network.

A business has been granted the Class C address 181.60.30.0. To make this address useful, the company will need to subnet this address into six subnetworks.

Solution
The organization will actually require eight subnetworks, six physical subnets, and two reserved addresses. This means there should be an additional three bits to the subnet mask (23 = 8). This will allow for six physical subnetworks and an additional two subnetids reserved for special addresses. With five bits remaining for hostids, there may be up to 32 hosts connected to each subnet. However, hostids with all bits set to 0 and hostids with all bits set to 1 are reserved, so the actual limit for each subnet is 30 hosts. The first available subnetid address is 180.60.33.32, and the last available subnetid address is 180.60.30.192.

Now we’ll work on a Class C network with and without subnet masking:

Class C network with original subnet mask
Netid Hostid
10110101.00111100. 00100001.00000000
Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0

Class C network with new subnet mask
Netid Subnetid Hostid
10110101.00111100.00100001. 111 00000
New subnet mask = 255.255.255.224

In Figure C, we show the original class network subnetted into six smaller subnetworks.

Figure C
The original class network is subnetted into six smaller subnetworks.

Conclusion
The TCP/IP protocol suite provides the basis for Internetworking. A thorough knowledge of TCP/IP is essential to managing computer networks—and almost any other device connected to the Internet. In this Daily Drill Down, we covered the procedures for subnetting TCP/IP networks. We looked at the disadvantages of maintaining large IP networks and the advantages gained from subnetting these networks. In addition, we provided an introduction to creating subnet masks and performing bitwise AND operations to determine the network address from any given IP address. We provided subnetting examples for Class A, B, and C networks.

نبذة لدخول عالم ومجال سيسكو Cisco

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله و بركاته
الكثير منا لم يكن يعرف ماهي الشبكات ؟ اذا اول سؤال يجب ان نسأله لنفسنا ماهي الشبكات
قبل ذلك اريد ان اذكر بشئ بسيط :
اخي المبتدأ ارغب ان اشرح لك معنى تقنية المعلومات IT بصوره مختصره فالشبكات جزء منها
تقنيتة المعلومات تنقسم الى قسمين
الاول / SOFTWARE , C , C++ , JAVA etc………
الثاني :
Hardware , MCSE ,MCITP,CCNA,CCNP …..etc
بمعنى اخر او بتقسيم اخر
LAN : SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR الشبكه المحليه
الشبكه الواسعه WAN : NETWORK/ SECURITY ADMINISTRATOR
اذا اردنا العمل مع الشبكه المحليه هذا يعني اننا سنحتاج للاتي
1-اكثر من كمبيوتر واحد
2- O/S نظام تشغيل و سوف اشرح انظمة التشغيل بصوره سريعه
مايكروسوفت انتج ما يسمى بي :
ا- نظام التشغيل الخاص بالمستخدم CLIENT
و هي من الاقدم الى الاحدث

WIN SERVER 2008 OR MCITP
LINUX ,SUN ايضا لا ننسى انظمة التشغيل هذه و هي ذات حمايه عاليه جدا و اغلب شركات الاتصالات تعمل بهذه الانواع من انظمة التشغيل اذا كانت الشركه معنمده على اجهزه من شركة IBM و هي شركه مصنعه للسيرفرات و غيرها .
3- و نعود مرة اخرى و نذكر ثالث احتياجاتنا لعمل شبكه محليه NIC او ما يطلق عليه كرت الشبكه فمن غيره لايوجد شبكه و البورت الذي به او المدخل يسمى ETHERNET , FAST ETHERNET , GIGA ETHERNET
4-الكيبل CABLE و سأتحدث عنها في نقاط سريعه و التفصيل انت ستبحث عنه انا اعطيك الطريقه فقط كيف و بماذا تبدأ و لماذا ؟
النوع الاول: COXIAL
النوع الثاني : TWISTED و ينقسم الى نوعين و الفرق بينهما ان الاول صلب و ينكسر بسرعه لذلك غير مستخدم
لثاني مرن و يسهل التعامل معه
الاول STP shielded twisted pair و هذا هو النوع الصلب الغير مستخدم
الثاني UTP unshielded twisted pair و ههذا النوع المرن و يتكون من 8 اسلاك , و منها نوعان احدها للهاتف cat 1 RJ 11 2mbps
cat2 4mbps
cat3 10mbps
cat 4 16mbps
cat5 و هذا يستخدم للنت و يركب بكلبس يسمى RJ45 100MBPS

يعني لازم تتعرف على كل انواع الاجهزه المستخدمه
بعد اعداد كل هذا سنصل سنكون قد انجزنا شبكه محليه و لكن ايضا هناك شئ صغير يجب ان نعرفه
اذا كانت الشبكه مرتبطه من غير متحكم تسمى WORKGROUP
اذا كانت مرتبطه بمتحكم اي سيرفير 2008 او 2003 او غيره تسمى دومين DOMAIN و هذا النوع تعمل به الشركات حتى تتحكم في مسار عمل الشركه و الموظفين و تسهيل نقل البيانات من مكان لاخر.
نأتي هنا و للاهم المهم و الذهب و الالماس عالم سيسكو :
بكل بساطه في الاعلى ذكرت ان الشركات تعمل بدومين هذا يعني ان الشركه اصبحت تتعامل بالكمبيوتر مربوطه ببعضها البعض اي هناك شبكه و في موقع محدد مثلا الرياض
قام صاحب الشركه بإنشاء فرع اخر في احدى المدن او الدول بالتأكيد سوف يقوم بتجهيز الفرع الجديد بكمبيوترات , او فالنقل سيقوم بعمل شبكه محليه للفرع لتسهيل العمل كما في الرياض
صاحب الشركه يريد ان يربط شبكة الفرع الجديد بالشركة الرئيسيه في الرياض ماذا سيحدث او ماذا سنفعل هنا ؟
سيأتي دور سيسكو اي اننا سنتعامل مع الراوترز و السويتش من الطبقه الثانيه و سوتيش من الطبقه الثالثه و هي تعمل عمل الراوتر ايضا حديثه جدا
فأجهزة سيسكو هي التي تعمل على ربط تلك المددينتين او الدولتين ببعضهما البعض و تسمى هذه الشبكه بالشبكه الواسعه WAN
سأكتفي بهذا الان وسأكمل بقية القصه و سأدلك اخي الى طريقك نحو كيفية دراسة و تطبيق الشبكه الواسعه و اعتقد ان المنتدى به الكثير من الدرر النفيسه مثل الاستاذ عدنان و غيره من الاخوان الافاضل و هذا الطرح هو طرح مبدأي لك اخي المبتدأ حتى تعرف ماهي الشبكه الواسعه و علاقتها بالشبكه المحليه و لكي تحدد ان كنت تريد ان تصبح mcitp or cisco certified

Layer 2 switching

Layer 2 switching

Layer 2 switching (or Data Link layer switching) is the process of using devices’ MAC addresses on a LAN to segment a network. Switches and bridges are used for Layer 2 switching. They break up one large collision domain into multiple smaller ones.

In a typical LAN, all hosts are connected to one central device. In the past, the device was usually a hub. But hubs had many disadvantages, such as not being aware of traffic that passes through them, creating one large collision domain, etc. To overcome some of the problems with hubs, bridges were created. They were better than hubs because they created multiple collision domains, but they had limited number of ports. Finally, switch were created and are still widely used today. Switches have more ports than bridges, can inspect incoming traffic and make forwarding decisions accordingly. Each port on a switch is a separate collision domain.

Here is an example of the typical LAN network used today:

typical switch network

NOTE – switches are sometimes called multiport bridges.

Differences between hubs and switches

To better understand the concept of packet switching based on the hardware address of a device, you need to understand how switches differ from hubs.
First, consider the example of a LAN, with all hosts connecting to a hub:

hub network

As mentioned previously, hubs create only one collision domain, so the chance for a collision to occur is high. The hub depicted above simply repeats the signal it receives out all ports, except the from which the signal was received, so no packet filtering takes place. Imagine if you had 20 hosts connected to a hub, a packet will be sent to 19 hosts, instead of just one! This can also cause security problems, because an attacker can capture all traffic on the network.

how hubs work

Now consider the way the switches work. We have the same topology as above, only this we are using a switch instead of a hub.

how switches work

Switches increase the number of collision domains. Each port is one collision domain, which means that the chances for collisions to occur are minimal. A switch learns which device is connected to which port and forwards a frame based on the destination MAC address included in the frame. This reduces traffic on a LAN and enhances security.

How switches work

Each network card has a unique identifier called Media Access Control (MAC) address. This address is used in LANs for communication between devices on the same network segment. Devices that want to communicate need to know each other MAC address before sending out packets. They use a process called ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) to find out the MAC address of another device. When the hardware address of the destination host is known, the sending host has all the required information to communicate with the remote host.

To better understand the concept, here is an example of how a switch works.

arp process

Let’s say that host A wants to communicate with host B for the first time. Host A knows the IP address of host B, but since this is the first time the two hosts communicate, hardware (MAC) addresses are not known. Host A uses an ARP process to find out the MAC address of host B. Switch forwards the ARP request out all ports except the port the host A is connected to. Host B receives the ARP request and responds with its MAC address. Host B also learns the MAC address of host A ( because host A sends its MAC address in the ARP request). The switch learns which MAC addresses are associated with which port. For example, because host B responded with the ARP request that included its MAC address, the switch knows the MAC address of host B and stores that address in its MAC address table. The same is with host A, the switch knows the MAC address of  the host A because of the ARP request. Now, when host A sends a packet to host B, the switch looks up in its MAC address table and forwards the frame only out Fa0/1 port, the port on which host B is connected.

You can display the MAC address table of the switch by using the show mac-address-table command:

show mac address table
