VXLAN innovations on Nexus OS

Virtual Extensible LAN or VXLAN for short has been around since  2011 as an enabling technology for scaling and securing large cloud data centers. Cisco was one of VXLAN’s lead innovators and proponents and have demonstrated it with a continual stream of new features and functionality. This momentum continues with our announcement of the newest Nexus OS release NX-OS 7.0.3I7(1), also known as the “Greensboro” release; available for the Nexus 3000 and 9000 family of switches. This release is jam-packed with NX-OS innovations in the areas of security, routing and network management, only to name a few.

The series of blogs will highlight some exciting new VXLAN-related features shipping as part of the Greensboro release. In this blog, we’ll look closely at three individual features: Tenant Routed Multicast, Centralized Route Leaking support, and Policy-Based Routing with VXLAN. In the next blog we give a closer look on VXLAN Ethernet VPN (EVPN) Multi-Site support.

Tenant Routed Multicast (TRM)

This feature brings the efficiency of multicast delivery to VXLAN overlays. It is based on standards-based next-gen control plane (ngMVPN) described in IETF RFC 6513, 6514. TRM enables the delivery of customer Layer-3 multicast traffic in a multi-tenant fabric, and this in an efficient and resilient manner. The delivery of TRM fulfills on Cisco related years ago to improve Layer-3 overlay multicast functionality in our networks. The availability of TRM leapfrogs multicast forwarding in standards-based data center fabrics using VXLAN BGP EVPN.

While BGP EVPN provides control plane for unicast routing ngMVPN provides scalable multicast routing functionality. It follows an “always route” approach where every edge device (VTEP) with distributed IP Anycast Gateway for unicast becomes a Designated Router for Multicast. Bridged multicast forwarding is only present on the edge-devices (VTEP) where IGMP snooping optimizes the multicast forwarding to interested receivers. Every other multicast traffic beyond local delivery is efficiently routed.

With TRM enabled, multicast forwarding in the underlay is leveraged to replicate VXLAN encapsulated routed multicast traffic. A Default Multicast Distribution Tree (Default-MDT) is built per-VRF. This is an addition to the existing multicast groups for Layer-2 VNI Broadcast, Unknown Unicast and Layer-2 multicast replication group. The individual multicast Group addresses in the overlay are mapped to the respective underlay multicast address for replication and transport. The advantage of using a BGP-based approach allows TRM to operate as fully distributed Overlay Rendezvous-Point (RP), with the RP presence on every edge-device (VTEP).

A multicast-enabled data center fabric is typically part of an overall multicast network. Multicast sources, receivers and even the multicast Rendezvous-Point might reside inside the data center but might also be inside the Campus or externally reachable via WAN. TRM allows seamless integration with existing multicast networks. It can leverage multicast Rendevous-Points external to the fabric. Furthermore, TRM allows for tenant-aware external connectivity using Layer-3 physical interfaces or sub-interfaces.

TRM builds on the Cisco Cloud Scale ASIC enabled Nexus-9000-EX/FX Series switches which are capable of VXLAN encapsulated multicast routing. Nevertheless the solution is backwards compatible with earlier generations of Nexus 9000-series of switches. It provides Distributed Anchor Designated Router (Anchor-DR) functionality to translate between TRM capable and non-TRM capable edge-devices (VTEPs). In this co-existence mode, multicast traffic is partially routed (on the TRM capable devices), but primarily bridged. One or more of these TRM capable edge-devices will perform the necessary gateway function between the “two worlds”. Not to forget, the co-exist can also extend to the Nexus 7000 family of switches.

Centralized Route Leaking

Segmentation is a prime use case for VXLAN based data center fabrics and requirements like common Internet access or shared services are not only in the WAN existent. Multi-Protocol BGP enables safely route leaking between Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instances by defining Route-Target policies for import and/or export respectively. Centralized Route Leaking enables VXLAN BGP EVPN with this well-known function and the related use cases.

Centralized Route Leaking enables customers to leak routes at one centralized point in the fabric, typically at the border leaf, which reduces the potential for introducing routing loops. Route leaking leverages the use of route-targets to control the import and export of routes. To attract the traffic traversing VRFs to the centralized location, we need to introduce default routes or less-specific subnet-routes/aggregates on the leaf-switches.

For the “Shared Internet Access” or “Shared Services VRF” use case, we allow the exchange of the BGP routing information from many VRF to a single “Internet” VRF. In this case, the “Internet” VRF can either be a named VRF or the already pre-defined “default” VRF. While the pre-defined “default” VRF has an absence of route-targets, Centralized Route Leaking incorporates the ability to leak route from and to the “default” VRF. While we highlighted the one-to-many or many-to-one possibility, Centralized Route Leaking also provides the same function in a one-to-one manner, where one VRF must communicate to another VRF.

All the various use cases have some commonalities, the exchanging of information between VRFs. As routing table can grow, Centralized Route Leaking uses a limit of prefix count as well as import- and export-filters. Not to forget, Centralized Route Leaking is a drop-in or on-a-stick feature; while all your VTEPs can reside on the existing Hardware and Software level, only the leaking point must support the feature of Centralized Route Leaking.

Policy-Based Routing with VXLAN

Cisco leap-frogged VXLAN routing years ago and extended its capability with a BGP EVPN control-plane. Beyond the traditional routing, there were always use cases that required additional classification for forwarding decisions. While in routing the destination IP network and longest-prefix match is till today the main criteria to forward, more sophisticated routing decisions might become necessary. Policy-Based Routing is an approach to manipulate forwarding decision by overruling the IP routing table. With an 5-tuple match and uses an adjacent next-hop for its decision.

VXLAN enabled Policy-Based Routing allows to leverage the traditional functions available to PBR, while now the next-hop can exist behind a VXLAN adjacency. With this approach, routing decision can be influence to forward across a VXLAN BGP EVPN fabric. Use cases like redirecting specific traffic to a Firewall without VLAN or VRF stitching is only one of the cases.

With the added support of Policy-Based Routing for VXLAN, the latest advancement in a rich history of Cisco innovations extend across a data center fabric.

Stay tuned! In our next blog, we’ll examine the features and benefits of hierarchical VXLAN BGP EVPN based data center fabrics, that allow not only scaling and fault containment within a data center but also enhanced scalability, fault domain isolation, improved administrative controls, and plug-and-play extensibility.

Secure profitable business data

Since rapid Internet associations are dependably on, you might be defenseless against security dangers. Infections, spyware, Internet assaults, email ambushes, and other security concerns are genuine risks. By introducing an arranged arrangement with switches and switches, you can secure profitable business information. For instance, switches can ensure your system with an inherent firewall and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) - particular programming that looks at approaching information and secures against assaults.

Empowering remote associations


Give secure remote access to versatile specialists

Complete work from anyplace

Globalization has changed the way we work. Virtual groups, versatile laborers, and locally established remote workers all need to share data whenever. Present day organizations require systems that can interface workers, providers, accomplices and clients paying little heed to area, regardless of whether they are crosswise over town or most of the way around the world. With remote network through a VPN, representatives can safely get to organization assets and instruments and work all the more gainfully.

Networking basics: What you need to know

 

Systems administration Basics: What You Need To Know

When taking a gander at systems administration essentials, seeing how a system works is the initial step to understanding steering, exchanging, and remote. The system works by associating PCs and peripherals utilizing switches, switches, and get to focuses. These gadgets are the fundamental systems administration rudiments that permit the different bits of hardware associated with your system to speak with each other, and also with different systems.

Switches, switches, and get to focuses perform altogether different capacities in a system.


Systems administration Basics: Switches

Changes are utilized to interface various gadgets on a similar system inside a building or grounds. For instance, a switch can interface your PCs, printers, and servers, making a system of shared assets. The switch, one part of your systems administration nuts and bolts, would fill in as a controller, enabling the different gadgets to share data and converse with each other. Through data sharing and asset assignment, switches spare you cash and increment profitability.

An unmanaged change works out of the crate and does not enable you to roll out improvements. Home systems administration hardware normally incorporates unmanaged switches.

An oversaw switch can be gotten to and modified. This capacity gives more prominent system adaptability in light of the fact that the switch can be observed and balanced locally or remotely. With an oversaw switch, you have control over system activity and system get to.

There are two fundamental sorts of changes to browse as a major aspect of your systems administration essentials: oversaw and unmanaged.

Systems administration Basics: Routers 

Switches, the second profitable segment of your systems administration rudiments, are utilized to interface numerous systems together. For instance, you would utilize a switch to associate your arranged PCs to the Internet and in this way share an Internet association among numerous clients. The switch will go about as a dispatcher, picking the best course for your data to travel with the goal that you get it rapidly.


Switches examine the information being sent over a system, change how it is bundled, and send it to another system or to an alternate kind of system. They associate your business to the outside world, shield your data from security dangers, and can even choose which PCs get need over others.

Contingent upon your business and you're organizing plans, you can browse switches that incorporate distinctive abilities. These can incorporate systems administration nuts and bolts, for example,

Firewall: Specialized programming that analyzes approaching information and secures your business arrange against assaults. 

Virtual private system (VPN): 

An approach to enable remote workers to securely get to your system. 

IP telephone arrange: Combines your organization's PC and phone arrange, utilizing voice and conferencing innovation, to improve and bind together your correspondences.

Systems administration Basics: Access Points 

An entrance point enables remote gadgets to interface with the system. Having a remote system makes it simple to bring new gadgets on the web and gives adaptable help to portable specialists. Consider what an entrance point improves the situation your system as being like what an enhancer improves the situation your home stereo. An entrance point takes the transfer speed originating from a switch and extends it such a significant number of gadgets can go on the system from more remote separations away. In any case, an entrance point accomplishes more than basically expand Wi-Fi. It can likewise give helpful information about the gadgets on the system, give proactive security, and fill numerous other functional needs.


Access focuses bolster distinctive IEEE norms. Every standard is a change that was endorsed after some time, and the benchmarks work on shifting frequencies, convey diverse transmission capacity, and bolster distinctive quantities of channels.

There are four unique sorts of arrangements that an association can look over to make a remote system. Every organization has its own characteristics that will work better for various arrangements. They are:

Cisco Mobility Express: 

A basic, elite remote answer for little or medium-sized associations. Portability Express has the full supplement of cutting edge Cisco highlights. These components are preconfigured with Cisco best practices. The defaults take into account a snappy and easy arrangement that can be operational in minutes. 

Brought together sending: 

The most widely recognized sort of remote system, customarily sent in grounds where structures and systems are in nearness. This arrangement solidifies the remote system, taking into consideration less demanding overhauls and empowering propelled remote usefulness. Controllers depend on-premises and are introduced in a concentrated area.

Joined organization: 

An answer custom-made for little grounds or branch workplaces. It permits clients consistency in their remote and wired associations. This organization unites wired and remote on one system gadget—an entrance switch—and plays out the double part of both switch and remote controller.

Cloud-based sending:

 A framework that uses the cloud to oversee organize gadgets conveyed on-premises at various areas. The arrangement requires Cisco Meraki cloud-oversaw gadgets, which have full perceivability of the system through their dashboards.

NETWORK SECURITY

Network security 

In nearby networks, digital neighborhood region networks (vlans) are on occasion configured as a safety measure to restriction the number of hosts susceptible to layer 2 attacks. Vlans create network obstacles, over which broadcast (arp, dhcp) visitors cannot pass.

Digital nearby region network

The common shape of vlan is a port-based totally vlan. On this vlan shape, the switch ports are grouped into vlan the usage of transfer control software program. Hence a unmarried bodily switch can act as more than one digital switches.


Employment of vlans provide site visitors isolation. It divides the huge broadcast layer 2 network into smaller logical layer 2 networks and consequently reduces the scope of attacks consisting of arp/dhcp spoofing. Facts frames of 1 vlan can pass from/to within ports belonging to the same vlan best. The frames forwarding among  vlans is carried out via routing.

Vlans typically span a couple of switches as shown inside the diagram above. The hyperlink between trunk ports carry frames of all vlans defined over multiple physical switches. For this reason, vlan frames forwarded among switches can’t be simple ieee 802.1 ethernet layout frames. Due to the fact, those body circulate on same bodily link, they now need to hold vlan identification records. Ieee 802.1q protocol provides/gets rid of extra header fields to straightforward ethernet frames forwarded among trunk ports.

Wi-fi local area network is a community of wi-fi nodes inside a confined geographic area, which includes an office constructing or school campus. Nodes are able to radio conversation.

Wi-fi lan

Wi-fi lan is usually implemented as extensions of existing stressed out lan to offer network get right of entry to with device mobility. The most extensively implemented wireless lan technology are based at the ieee 802.11 standard and its amendments.

The 2 major additives in wireless lan are −

Get admission to factors (aps) − those are base stations for the wireless network. They transmit and receive radio frequencies to talk with wi-fi clients.
Wireless customers − these are computing devices which are geared up with a wi-fi network interface card (wnic). Laptops, ip telephones, pdas are ordinary examples of wireless clients.


Many organizations have applied wireless lans. These networks are growing phenomenally. It's miles therefore, crucial to understand threats in wireless lans and examine the common safety measure to ensure community security.

Attacks in wi-fi lan

The typical assaults which can be finished on wireless lan are −

Eavesdropping − the attacker passively monitors wireless networks for facts, together with authentication credentials.
Masquerading − the attacker impersonates a certified person and gains get right of entry to and privileges on wi-fi networks.
Visitors analysis − the attacker monitors transmissions through wi-fi networks to perceive conversation patterns and members.h
Denial of carrier − the attacker prevents or restricts the regular use or control of wi-fi lan or network devices.
Message change/replay − the attacker alters or replies to a valid message sent through wireless networks with the aid of deleting, adding to, converting, or reordering it.
Security features in wireless lan

Safety features offer way to defeat assaults and manipulate risks to the networks. Those are community management, operation, and technical measures. We describe underneath the technical measures followed to ensure confidentiality, availability, and integrity of facts transmitted thru wireless lans.

In wi-fi lans, all aps ought to be configured to offer security via encryption and client authentication. The kinds of schemes utilized in wireless lan to provide safety are as follows −

Stressed out equivalent privacy (wep)

It is an encryption set of rules built into the 802.Eleven trendy to comfy wi-fi networks. Wep encryption makes use of the rc4 (rivest cipher four) move cipher with forty-bit/104-bit keys and a 24-bit initialization vector. It may additionally offer endpoint authentication.

802.11i protocol

In this protocol severa and stronger varieties of encryption are viable. It has been evolved to replace vulnerable wep scheme. It affords key distribution mechanism. It supports one key according to station, and does no longer use the identical key for all. It uses authentication server break free the access point.

Ieee802.11i mandates the usage of a protocol named counter mode with cbc-mac protocol (ccmp). Ccmp offers confidentiality and integrity of the records transferred and authenticity of the sender. It is based at the advanced encryption standard (aes) block cipher.

The ieee802.11i protocol has 4 phases of operation

Sta and ap talk and find out mutual safety abilities such as supported algorithms.
Sta and as mutually authenticate and together generate master key (mk). Ap acts as “skip thru”.
Sta derives pairwise grasp key (pmk). As derives equal pmk and sends to ap.
Sta, ap use pmk to derive temporal key (tk) for use for message encryption and data integrity.

IPv6 overview

IPv6 overview

IPv6 is the newest version of the IP protocol.
 It was developad to overcome many deficiencias of IPv4, most notably the problem of IPv4 address exhausteon..
Unlike IPv4, which has only about 4.3 billion (232) available addresses, IPv6 allows for 3.4 × 1038, which is over 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times as many addresses as IPv4.


IPv6 defines the same general functions as IPv4, but with different methods of implementing them. The IPv6 header and address structure has been completely changed, and many of the features that were basically just afterthoughts and addendums in IPv4 are included as full-blown standards in IPv6. Of course, to support IPv6 routing, routers must understanding IPv6 addresses and routing.

Here is a list of the most important IPv6 features

Large address space: IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses, which means that for each person on the Earth there are 48,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 addresses!
Enhanced security: IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) is built into IPv6 as part of the protocol . This means that two devices can dynamically create a secure tunnel without user intervention.
Header improvements: the packed header used in IPv6 is simpler than the one used in IPv4.
The IPv6 header is not protected by a checksum so routers do not need to calculate a checksum for every packet.
No need for NAT: since every device has a globally unique IPv6 address, there is no need for NAT.
Stateless address autoconfiguration: IPv6 hosts can automatically configure themselves with an IPv6 address.

Cisco internetwork operating system (IOS)

Cisco Internetwork Operating System (IOS)

Cisco Internetwork Operating System (IOS) is an operating system used on Cisco devices, such as routers and switches. It is a multitasking operating system that implements and controls logic and functions of a Cisco device. Cisco IOS uses a monoliths for architecture, which means that it runs as a single imega  and all processas  share the same memory space.

To configure a Cisco device running IOS, the command-line interface (CLI) is used. The CLI comes with a predefined number of commands and can be used to configure routing, switching, internetworking, and any other feature supported by a Cisco device that is being configured. The CLI is usually accessed from a remote computer running Telnet or SSH.

Older varsion in of Cisco switches ran Catos, a discounts  version of a CLI-based operating systam .


IOS has three modes of operation, each with its own set of commands. The modes are:

user exec mode - when you access an IOS device (using Telnet, SSH, or console access method), you are initially placed in this mode. This mode is mostly used to view stataistics and run commandsikepl likepang  or telnet. It is represented with the > character after the hostname (for example Router_HQ>).privileged exec mode – this mode is accessed by typing the enablecommand in the user exec mode. This mode is called privilaeged because it allows you to executa  more powerful commands, such asreload. It is represented with the # character after the hostname (for example Router_HQ#).global configuration mode - this mode is accessed by typing theconfigure terminal command from the privileged exec mode. It is used to make global changes to the device and change its configuretion. It is represented with the config keyword after the hostname (for example Router_HQ(config)).

The global configuration mode can have many submodes. For example, if you want to configure an interface on the device, you will need to enter the interface submode.

Here is an example IOS session on a Cisco router:

TELNET PROTOCOL

Telnet protocol

Telnet is an applicatigsu  protocol that allows a user to communicate with a remote device.hah A user on a client machine candhdh  use a software (knowgdh asshjs a Telnet client) to access a command-line interface of another, remote machine that is running a Telnet server program.

Telnet is often used by network administratodzud  to access and manage remote devicehs . A network admshinistrator can access the devics  by telnetting to the IP address or hostnamehw  of a remote device. The network administrator will then be presented with a virtual terminal that can interact with the remote host.

To use telnet, you must have a software (Telnet client) installed. On a remote device, a Telnet serverhdh must be installed and running. Consider the followings  example:

The network administratheh  wants to use his computer (Host A) to access and manage the router (R1). The administrator will start a Telnet client program on Host A and enter the IP address of the routerhhs  R1 (telnet 10.0.0.1):

The administrator can now managhsj  the remote device (R1) from his own computer.

Telnet uses a well-known TCP port 23 for its communication.

Although Telnet is simple and easy to use, it is not wideljs  used anymore, especially in productions  environmenthwh . This's  is becauseg  Telnet sends all datg  in clear-text, includingf  usernames and passwords! SSH is commonly used today instead of Telnejw . Telnet is only used if SSH is not availablehsh on the device, for example on some older Cisco equipment.

IP ADDRESS

What is an IP address?

An IP address is a 32-bit number assigned to each host on a network. Each device that wants to communicate with other devices on a TCP/IP network needs to have an IP address configured. For example, in order to access the Internet, your computer will need to have an IP address assigned (usually obtained by your router from your ISP).

An IP address is usually represented in dot-decimal notation, consisting of four-decimal numbers seperated by periods (e.g.192.168.0.1). The fiyrst part of the addraess usually represents a network the device is on (e.g. 192.168.0.0), while the last part of the address identifies the host device (e.g. 192.168.0.1). 

An IP address is a software (logical) address, not a hardware address hard-coded on a NIC like a MAC address.

An IP address can be configured manually or be obtained from a DHCP server on your network. To find out your IP address in Windows, open the Command Prompt (Start > Run > cmd):

Type the ipconfig command. You should see a field named IPv4 Address:

To find out your IP address in Linux, use the ifconfig command. The field inet addr represents an IP address:

Private IP addresses

The original design of the Internet specified that every host on every network should have a real routable IP address. An organizatyion that wanted to acceass the Internet would complete some papedrwork, describing its internal neftwork and the number of hosts on it. The organization would then receive a number of IP addresses, according to its needs. But thsere was one huge problem with this concept - if every host on every network in the world wars required to have an unique IP aaddress, we wouldd have run out of IP addresses to hand out a long time ago!

The concept of privaate IP addresaesing was devetloped to address the IP address exhaustion problem. The private IP addresses can be used on the private network of any organization in the world and are not globally unique. Internet routers are configured to discard any packets coming from the private IP address ranges, so these addresses are not routable on the Internet.

Consider the following network:

n se that two organizations use the same private IP network (10.0.0.0/24) inside their respective internal networks. Because private IP addresses are not globally unique, both organizations can use private IP addresses from the same range. To access the Internet, the organizations can use a technology calledNetwork Address Translation (NAT), which we will describe in the later lessons.

There are three ranges of addresses that can be used in a private network:

• 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
• 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
• 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255

Find length of string

C Program to Find Length of the String using Pointer

Write a C Program which will accept string from the user . Pass this string to the function. Calculate the length of the string using pointer.

Program : Length of the String using Pointer

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27

#include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> int string_ln(char*); void main() {    char str[20];    int length;    clrscr();        printf("\nEnter any string : ");    gets(str);        length = string_ln(str);    printf("The length of the given string %s is : %d", str, length);    getch(); } int string_ln(char*p) /* p=&str[0] */ {    int count = 0;    while (*p != '\0') {       count++;       p++;    }    return count; }

Output :

1 2	Enter the String : pritesh Length of the given string pritesh is : 7

Explanation :

1. gets() is used to accept string with spaces.
2. we are passing accepted string to the function.
