Interdomain Multicast: MSDP and MBGP
How do RPs learn about sources in other PIM domains? This problem is solved by the Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP). At the time of this writing, MSDP was still an Internet draft, and therefore this section describes only a work-in-progress. MSDP uses simple, one-to-one, BGP-like peering sessions to establish communication between RPs. Unlike BGP, however, no connection collision mechanism exists. Instead, the peer with the higher address listens on TCP port..
Triggered RIP is designed for routers that exchange all routing information from their neighbors. If the router is changed in any way, only the changes are propagated to the neighbor. The receiving router should apply the changes immediately. Changes can be caused by events such as link flaps, next hop changes, or subnet mask changes. Triggered RIP updates are sent only when these criteria are met: When a request for a routing update is received When new informa..
IPsec Remote Access and L2L Sessions on the Same Router
Figure 18-3 shows an example network that has both remote access and L2L sessions. In this example, the remote office network is acquiring its address dynamically, via DHCP, from its connected ISP, which also is true of the remote access clients. Because the central office router doesn't know the remote office router's IP address, you would have to configure the pre-shared key for the router as 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 with no XAUTH. However, doing this would cause XAUTH to not work f..
Recall that, by definition, a switch must forward broadcast frames out all available ports in the broadcast domain because broadcasts are destined everywhere there is a listener. Unless forwarded by more intelligent means, multicast frames follow the same pattern. In addition, frames destined for an address that the switch has not yet learned or has forgotten (theMAC address has aged out of the address table) must be forwarded out all ports in an attempt to find the destinati..
Baseline Configuration for EIGRP Redistribution Examples
The best method to see the results of redistribution is to use examples, so this section explains the sample internetwork used in the upcoming EIGRP redistribution examples. Figure 9-6 shows the sample internetwork. In this case, the EIGRP domain on the left uses subnets of class B network 172.30.0.0, and the OSPF domain on the right uses subnets of class B network 172.16.0.0. Note that all OSPF subnets reside in area 0 in this example internetwork, although that is not a re..
