Multicast Fundamentals – What Multicast routing achieves, IGMP Versions, Layer 2 mechanisms, and Multicast Address blocks to know!

Above is a Topology I created for Multicast Routing, however I've found in digging into Multicast that I will need to add some LAN segments to really demonstrate behaviors of different Multicast configuration, so this will cover the fundamentals of Multicast before hitting the lab to get our hands dirty! Why we need Multicast Routing … Continue reading Multicast Fundamentals – What Multicast routing achieves, IGMP Versions, Layer 2 mechanisms, and Multicast Address blocks to know!

DMVPN – Huge DMVPN Lab, multi-branch deployment considerations, Phase 1 to Phase 2 DMVPN clearly demonstrated, lots of configuration and verification!

The above Topology has already been configured with its respective IP Addressing / Routing Protocols, all Adjacencies are Up/Up, and we are ready to jump straight into NHRP (Next Hop Resolution Protocol) configuration on the Hub / NHS (Next Hop Server) which will be PHX1 Router in this Topology and then onto the DMVPN Spokes! … Continue reading DMVPN – Huge DMVPN Lab, multi-branch deployment considerations, Phase 1 to Phase 2 DMVPN clearly demonstrated, lots of configuration and verification!
