Advanced Telnet operation

Advanced Telnet operation
4.2.4 This page will describe some features that can be used when several Telnet sessions are open at the same time. A user may switch back and forth between these sessions. The number of open sessions that are allowed at one time is defined by the session limit command.
Use the commands shown in Figure to escape from one session and resume a previously opened session.
A new connection can be made from the EXEC prompt.
Multiple Telnet sessions can be used and suspended with the Ctrl-Shift-6, then x sequence. The session can be resumed with the Enter key. When the Enter key is used, the Cisco IOS will resume the connection to the most recently suspended Telnet connection. If the resume command is used it requires a connection ID. Use the show sessions command to view the connection ID, as shown in Figure .
The Lab Activity on this page will show students how to use Telnet to remotely access routers.
The next page will describe some tests that can be used to verify connectivity.

OSI layers / Peer-to-peer communications / TCP/IP model

OSI layers 2.3.4 This page discusses the seven layers of the OSI model. The OSI reference model is a framework that is used to understand how information travels throughout a network. The OSI reference model explains how packets travel through the various layers to another device on a network, even if the sender and destination have different types of network media. In the OSI reference model, there are seven numbered layers, each of which illustrates a particular network function. - Dividing the network into seven layers provides the following advantages: • It breaks network communication into smaller, more manageable parts. • It standardizes network components to allow multiple vendor development and support. • It allows different types of network hardware and software to communicate with each other. • It prevents changes in one layer from affecting other layers. • It divides network communication into smaller parts to make learning it easier to understand. In the foll...

Advantages and disadvantages of link-state routing

Advantages and disadvantages of link-state routing 2.1.5  This page lists the advantages and disadvantages of link-state routing protocols. The following are advantages of link-state routing protocols:  Link-state protocols use cost metrics to choose paths through the network. The cost metric reflects the capacity of the links on those paths. Link-state protocols use triggered updates and LSA floods to immediately report changes in the network topology to all routers in the network. This leads to fast convergence times. Each router has a complete and synchronized picture of the network. Therefore, it is very difficult for routing loops to occur. Routers use the latest information to make the best routing decisions. The link-state database sizes can be minimized with careful network design. This leads to smaller Dijkstra calculations and faster convergence. Every router, at the very least, maps the topology of it...

Ports for services

Ports for services 10.2.2  Services running on hosts must have a port number assigned to them so communication can occur. A remote host attempting to connect to a service expects that service to use specific transport layer protocols and ports. Some ports, which are defined in RFC 1700, are known as the well-known ports. These ports are reserved in both TCP and UDP.  These well-known ports define applications that run above the transport layer protocols. For example, a server that runs FTP will use ports 20 and 21 to forward TCP connections from clients to its FTP application. This allows the server to determine which service a client requests. TCP and UDP use port numbers to determine the correct service to which requests are forwarded. The next page will discuss ports in greater detail.
