ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is a network protocol used to map an IP address (Layer 3) to a corresponding MAC address (Layer 2) on a local area network (LAN). These are sample ways to find ARP on Cisco ASR 9000 running on IOS-XR. To find out the ARP statistics for a particular linecard, the command would be: show arp traffic location 0/X/CPU0 where X is the Slot number Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ASR9000#show arp traffic location 0/7/CPU0 ARP statistics: Recv: 2493913945 requests, 2796126129…

Here are the step by step configuration of implementing Access-Lists or ACL on Huawei routers such as NetEngine Series Routers utilizing the ip-pool and source-pool for simplicity and convenience. 1.Create ip-pool and source-pool acl ip-pool allowed_ip ip address 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.255 acl port-pool allowed_port eq 22 2. Create ACL acl number 88 description ACL88 rule 10 permit tcp source-pool allowed_ip destination-port-pool allowed_port rule 20 deny tcp destination-port-pool allowed_port rule 30 permit ip 3. Create traffic policy and apply ACL traffic classifier…

For checking transmission links on Cisco Routers, it is good to know how to find out the optical power of 100GE modules or interfaces for troubleshooting and making sure the desired or optimal range is meet. Here are the sample commands for checking the Transmit/Output (TX)  and Receive/Input (RX) optical power. show interfaces diagnostics optics <interface-name> Sample Output: fnt@JUNIPER-ROUTER1-re0> show interfaces diagnostics optics et-0/0/0 Physical interface: et-0/0/0 Module temperature : 28 degrees C / 82 degrees F Module voltage :…

Border Gateway Protocol or BGP, is a gateway protocol that enables the Internet to exchange routing information between AS or Autonomous Systems. It is used by Large Enterprise and Service Providers. Here are the recommended Best Security Practices that need to be implemented on your Juniper Routers. Authentication need to be set for all peering using MD5 set protocols bgp group <group_name> authentication-key <MD5 key> There are few supported authentication that you can use aes-128-cmac-96 Cipher-based Message Authentication Code (AES128)…
