Cisco Live at Orlando announce Virtual Internet Routing Lab (VIRL). It is Cisco’s answer to GNS3 or other IOS Simulator using virtualization to create virtual network topologies. This tools will be as revolutionary as GNS3, but at a much larger scale. It is an awesome tool that can be used for certification studying but also to validate production designs. An enterprise systems […]

EtherChannel Technology allows us to bundle individual Ethernet links into a single logical link for high bandwidth. Cisco Devices support up to 8 interfaces to be bundled. However the bundled ports should be either FastEthernet or GigaEthernet ports and should be on same speed and duplex. In bundled ports if one link is down due to any layer the traffic […]
