What are the 7 Layers of OSI Model in Networking?
This blog post will explain the 7 layers of OSI Model, and how they work with each other in easy-to-understand language.
Which is Better and Why?- MSTP vs RSTP vs STP vs PVSTP vs RPVST
Highlighting "MSTP vs RSTP vs STP vs PVSTP vs RPVST": Discover how each protocol uniquely manages network loops and balances loads.
What is MSTP – Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol
What is MSTP(Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol)? Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) is an IEEE standard that allows a single physical network switch to support multiple spanning-tree instances. The MSTP standard is useful for companies with lots of VLANs in the…
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol – What Is RSTP In Networking?
Explain Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol – What Is RSTP In Networking? Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is the successor and enhanced version of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). The purpose of RSTP is to provide significantly faster convergence while still…
STP – Spanning Tree Protocol explained in detail
A Spanning Tree Protocol or STP is a layer2 protocol used to prevent loops in a network by ensuring that a single path exists between any two nodes in the network. In this blog post, I will explain the Spanning…
What is an EtherChannel in Networking – The Beginner’s Guide
EtherChannels boost network bandwidth, redundancy, and load balancing. This article covers what EtherChannels are, their significance, how they function, various types and modes, a configuration example, best practices, and troubleshooting.
VLAN Trunking Protocol: What is VTP in Networking
If you are a network administrator, then you should know that managing VLANs can be time-consuming and prone to mistakes in large networks with numerous interconnected switches. The VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) lets you manage your VLANs from a central…
Ethernet Auto‑Negotiation Explained: How It Works, Best Practices, and Fixing Duplex Mismatches
A clear, updated guide to Ethernet Auto‑Negotiation: what it is, how it works (FLP, next page, parallel detection), when it’s required, and how to fix duplex mismatches.
Ethernet Switch vs Hub vs Router: Key Differences
Understanding the difference between an Ethernet Switch, Hub, and Router is crucial for building a fast and reliable home or office network. We break down what each device does, how they compare, and which one you actually need for your setup.
