Step Description IPv6 Address 1 Remove leading zeros in each block 2001:db8:85a3:0:0:8a2e:370:7334 2 Collapse consecutive blocks of zeros with :: 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334 - The IPv6 address
2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334 must remain as it is. - The rules for shortening an IPv6 address allow for the removal of leading zeros within each 16-bit block.
- Replacement of consecutive blocks of all zeros with
:: - They do not permit the removal of entire non-zero blocks.
Note
Dropping leading zeros in IPv6 addresses still makes sense because each field in an IPv6 address is understood to be a fixed size of 16 bits, represented in hexadecimal. When you see a field like 0db8, it's clear that it represents four hexadecimal digits, even if it's written as db8. The leading zero doesn't add any additional information because the size of the field is already established.

Network Congestion: Broadcast packets are sent to all devices on a network segment, regardless of whether they're the intended recipient. This means every device has to process these packets, even if they're irrelevant. On a busy network, this can lead to a lot of unnecessary data traffic, congesting the network.
-
Resource Drain: Each device on the network must process and determine the relevance of broadcast packets. This can be a drain on resources, especially on devices that might already be running heavy tasks. It's like getting a bunch of irrelevant group emails; you have to check each one, just in case.
-
Reduced Performance: High levels of broadcast traffic can slow down the overall network performance. Devices spend time and processing power handling these broadcasts, which could be better spent on actual data transmission relevant to their tasks.
-
Security Concerns: Broadcasts can be a security risk. They can potentially be used for malicious activities like broadcast storms or as a method to discover devices on a network by an attacker.
","tags":["pending","Example"]},{"location":"Network-Rudiments/Subnetting/broadcast/#the-goal","title":"The Goal","text":"The goal in network design and management is, therefore, to keep broadcast traffic as minimal as possible. This can be achieved by:
- Using Subnets: Dividing a large network into smaller subnets can localize broadcast traffic, preventing it from spanning the entire network.
- Switches over Hubs: Switches are smarter than hubs and can reduce unnecessary broadcast traffic by sending packets only to the intended recipient.
- VLANs (Virtual LANs): VLANs can further segment a network, isolating broadcast domains and improving overall network performance and security.
In essence, minimizing broadcast packets helps maintain a smoother, faster, and more secure network. It's like keeping public announcements in a big building to only the floors that need to hear them, rather than blasting them everywhere!
","tags":["pending","Example"]},{"location":"Network-Rudiments/Subnetting/cidr/","title":"CIDR","text":"Classless Inter-Domain Routing CIDR stands for \"Classless Inter-Domain Routing.\" It's a method used for allocating IP addresses and routing Internet Protocol packets. CIDR replaced the older system based on classes A, B, and C in the 1990s.
- CIDR was introduced in the early 1990s to overcome the limitations of classful addressing.
- CIDR allows for variable-length subnet masks, meaning that organizations can request an appropriate number of addresses, rather than being limited to predefined class sizes.
- CIDR introduced the notion of a \"prefix length,\" expressed as \"/X,\" where X indicates the number of bits in the subnet mask. For example, /24 represents a 24-bit subnet mask (equivalent to Class C), and /16 represents a 16-bit subnet mask (equivalent to Class B).
- CIDR also introduced aggregation, allowing multiple IP prefixes to be summarized into a single, larger prefix. This reduced the size of routing tables on the Internet backbone.

It is a reference model. Ultimately, the TCP/IP model is the more practical model for today's networks, but the OSI model is still used to describe network layers and protocols. The US DoD invented the TCP/IP model in the 1970s, and it was used to build the internet. The OSI model was created in the 1980s by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and it was designed to be an abstract model for describing network protocols, not a practical model for building networks.

When we talk about aggregating subnets, we're basically trying to find a bigger subnet that can neatly fit all these smaller subnets inside it.
- LAN Network: 10.1.0.0 to 10.1.255.255
- STAFF Network: 10.70.0.0 to 10.70.255.255
- BYOD Network: 10.110.0.0 to 10.110.255.255
- GUEST Network: 10.120.0.0 to 10.120.255.255
We're looking for the common ground here, the starting point that fits all these ranges. If we look closely, all the addresses start with \"10.\", which is our first clue. After the \"10.\", things start to get different, so that's where we need to focus.
When we do a bit of magical binary conversion and comparison, we find that the common bits in all these addresses go up to the first 8 bits (that's the \"10\" part). After that, the bits start to differ.
So, if we were to aggregate these networks, our new subnet would start at 10.0.0.0. But what about the mask? Well, since we only have the first 8 bits in common, our new mask would be 255.0.0.0.
Therefore, your aggregated subnet would be 10.0.0.0 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. This big subnet umbrella can cover all your smaller subnets like a cozy blanket! \ud83c\udf10\ud83d\udcbb\ud83c\udf89

lsof -i tcp:22 Use lsof -i tcp:22 to see the SSH sessions to the lab devices. In our case we have x2 per lab device as we are passing a linux jump box to reach the device console.
The command lsof -i tcp:22 is used in Unix-like operating systems to list open files and network connections. The components of this command (lsof, -i, tcp:22) each have specific meanings:
lsof: This stands for \"List Open Files\". lsof is a command-line utility that provides information about files that are opened by processes. In Unix and Linux systems, almost everything is treated as a file, including physical devices, directories, and network sockets.
-i: This option tells lsof to show network connections. When used without any additional parameters, -i lists all network files. However, it can be further narrowed down with additional parameters like protocol type (TCP or UDP) and port numbers.
tcp:22: This further filters the lsof output to show only TCP connections (due to tcp) that are using port 22. Port 22 is the default port for SSH (Secure Shell) connections, which are used for securely accessing remote machines.

Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStack) resiliency link When a port is configured as a VCStack resiliency link port, LLDP does not operate on the port; LLDP neither transmits nor receives advertisements, and any LLDP configuration and data stored for the port, including counters, is discarded.

2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334 must remain as it is. - The rules for shortening an IPv6 address allow for the removal of leading zeros within each 16-bit block.
- Replacement of consecutive blocks of all zeros with
:: - They do not permit the removal of entire non-zero blocks.
Note
Dropping leading zeros in IPv6 addresses still makes sense because each field in an IPv6 address is understood to be a fixed size of 16 bits, represented in hexadecimal. When you see a field like 0db8, it's clear that it represents four hexadecimal digits, even if it's written as db8. The leading zero doesn't add any additional information because the size of the field is already established.

Network Congestion: Broadcast packets are sent to all devices on a network segment, regardless of whether they're the intended recipient. This means every device has to process these packets, even if they're irrelevant. On a busy network, this can lead to a lot of unnecessary data traffic, congesting the network.
-
Resource Drain: Each device on the network must process and determine the relevance of broadcast packets. This can be a drain on resources, especially on devices that might already be running heavy tasks. It's like getting a bunch of irrelevant group emails; you have to check each one, just in case.
-
Reduced Performance: High levels of broadcast traffic can slow down the overall network performance. Devices spend time and processing power handling these broadcasts, which could be better spent on actual data transmission relevant to their tasks.
-
Security Concerns: Broadcasts can be a security risk. They can potentially be used for malicious activities like broadcast storms or as a method to discover devices on a network by an attacker.
","tags":["pending","Example"]},{"location":"Network-Rudiments/Subnetting/broadcast/#the-goal","title":"The Goal","text":"The goal in network design and management is, therefore, to keep broadcast traffic as minimal as possible. This can be achieved by:
- Using Subnets: Dividing a large network into smaller subnets can localize broadcast traffic, preventing it from spanning the entire network.
- Switches over Hubs: Switches are smarter than hubs and can reduce unnecessary broadcast traffic by sending packets only to the intended recipient.
- VLANs (Virtual LANs): VLANs can further segment a network, isolating broadcast domains and improving overall network performance and security.
In essence, minimizing broadcast packets helps maintain a smoother, faster, and more secure network. It's like keeping public announcements in a big building to only the floors that need to hear them, rather than blasting them everywhere!
","tags":["pending","Example"]},{"location":"Network-Rudiments/Subnetting/cidr/","title":"CIDR","text":"Classless Inter-Domain Routing CIDR stands for \"Classless Inter-Domain Routing.\" It's a method used for allocating IP addresses and routing Internet Protocol packets. CIDR replaced the older system based on classes A, B, and C in the 1990s.
- CIDR was introduced in the early 1990s to overcome the limitations of classful addressing.
- CIDR allows for variable-length subnet masks, meaning that organizations can request an appropriate number of addresses, rather than being limited to predefined class sizes.
- CIDR introduced the notion of a \"prefix length,\" expressed as \"/X,\" where X indicates the number of bits in the subnet mask. For example, /24 represents a 24-bit subnet mask (equivalent to Class C), and /16 represents a 16-bit subnet mask (equivalent to Class B).
- CIDR also introduced aggregation, allowing multiple IP prefixes to be summarized into a single, larger prefix. This reduced the size of routing tables on the Internet backbone.

It is a reference model. Ultimately, the TCP/IP model is the more practical model for today's networks, but the OSI model is still used to describe network layers and protocols. The US DoD invented the TCP/IP model in the 1970s, and it was used to build the internet. The OSI model was created in the 1980s by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and it was designed to be an abstract model for describing network protocols, not a practical model for building networks.

When we talk about aggregating subnets, we're basically trying to find a bigger subnet that can neatly fit all these smaller subnets inside it.
- LAN Network: 10.1.0.0 to 10.1.255.255
- STAFF Network: 10.70.0.0 to 10.70.255.255
- BYOD Network: 10.110.0.0 to 10.110.255.255
- GUEST Network: 10.120.0.0 to 10.120.255.255
We're looking for the common ground here, the starting point that fits all these ranges. If we look closely, all the addresses start with \"10.\", which is our first clue. After the \"10.\", things start to get different, so that's where we need to focus.
When we do a bit of magical binary conversion and comparison, we find that the common bits in all these addresses go up to the first 8 bits (that's the \"10\" part). After that, the bits start to differ.
So, if we were to aggregate these networks, our new subnet would start at 10.0.0.0. But what about the mask? Well, since we only have the first 8 bits in common, our new mask would be 255.0.0.0.
Therefore, your aggregated subnet would be 10.0.0.0 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. This big subnet umbrella can cover all your smaller subnets like a cozy blanket! \ud83c\udf10\ud83d\udcbb\ud83c\udf89

lsof -i tcp:22 Use lsof -i tcp:22 to see the SSH sessions to the lab devices. In our case we have x2 per lab device as we are passing a linux jump box to reach the device console.
The command lsof -i tcp:22 is used in Unix-like operating systems to list open files and network connections. The components of this command (lsof, -i, tcp:22) each have specific meanings:
lsof: This stands for \"List Open Files\". lsof is a command-line utility that provides information about files that are opened by processes. In Unix and Linux systems, almost everything is treated as a file, including physical devices, directories, and network sockets.
-i: This option tells lsof to show network connections. When used without any additional parameters, -i lists all network files. However, it can be further narrowed down with additional parameters like protocol type (TCP or UDP) and port numbers.
tcp:22: This further filters the lsof output to show only TCP connections (due to tcp) that are using port 22. Port 22 is the default port for SSH (Secure Shell) connections, which are used for securely accessing remote machines.

Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStack) resiliency link When a port is configured as a VCStack resiliency link port, LLDP does not operate on the port; LLDP neither transmits nor receives advertisements, and any LLDP configuration and data stored for the port, including counters, is discarded. Mirror ports * LLDP does not operate on mirror analyzer ports
