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)…

PAT or Port Address Translation or also known as NAT Overloading is like a modified form of dynamic NAT where multiple inside local addresses are translated to single inside global IP address. It is the most popular form of NAT as the setup is the same what we use on our home connectivity as your Internet Service Provider (ISP) usually will only provide you 1 public IP to communicate with their internet router. Just remember the word many-to-one mapping. Objective:…
