I think ip source-route and policy routing very often get confused, but they are two very distinct things.
Policy routing is a way of specifying routes to depend on various parameters, including perhaps the source IP address of a packet. It is a local policy applied at a router.
ip source-route is something entirely different. It is a feature where the originator of an IP packet specifies, in that packet, which routers the packet must go through to reach its destination. The path is tagged onto the options field of the IP packet. The feature is very dangerous, and most NetAdmins disable it.
I think the confusion comes about because of the words "source" and "route".
What else can I help you with?
Which two pieces of information are documented in a logical topology map?
#IP addressing#group usage information
What is the purpose of nat and pat?
The purpose of NAT/PAT is to allow you to use fewer public IP addresses in your network thus reducing the cost and conserving public IP address usage.
In my computer center ip is assigned automatically by dhcp . But some time IP is not set to my PC .I will come 168.254.1.1?
It's hard to speculate about the problem, but DHCP has three methods how IP might be assigned to he machine. Manual (You set which machine which IP has), Dynamic (When you machine asks for IP and it gets from free IP pool and it can ask every time the same IP, extend it's usage. In this case you might loose your IP and you will get different one.) and Automatic (DHCP sets IP to machine permanently, it uses MAC-IP relation. Changing the MAC, might change your IP).
What is the commercial usage of IPv6?
To run the network every company purchase large amount of ip addresses. Large amount of ip addresses are used every day therefore IPV4 address system is going to end. So in future only ipv6 address will be used to fulfill the need of ip addresses.
Has TC PIP replaced that protocol in the general usage or did another protocol replace it?
TCP/IP is the protocol used for the Internet. It will not be replaced anytime soon, it replaced a protocol called IPX/SPX which was used by Novell. But TCP/IP is here to stay.
NAT performs what type of action?
Network Address Translation (NAT) performs the action of modifying IP address information in packet headers as they pass through a router or firewall. This process allows multiple devices on a local network to share a single public IP address, enhancing security and conserving IP address usage. NAT can also facilitate the routing of traffic between different networks by translating private IP addresses to a public IP address and vice versa.
How do you find out if an ip has been masked?
To determine if an IP address has been masked, you can use tools like IP lookup services to check the IP's origin and associated details. If the location or ISP does not match the expected geographic area or provider, it may indicate masking. Additionally, analyzing the connection for signs of VPN usage, such as unusual latency or encrypted traffic patterns, can also suggest IP masking. Furthermore, some websites can detect and flag IPs known to belong to VPNs or proxies.
Describe the correct usage of the PING command to help troubleshoot a home network?
Use the PING (and current IP address) command to execute a loopback test on a NIC
What is ip spooling?
IP spooling is a technique used to manage multiple IP addresses for a single device or application, allowing it to send and receive data as though it were using several different IPs. This approach is often employed in scenarios like email marketing or web scraping to avoid detection or throttling by services that monitor IP usage. By rotating through a pool of IP addresses, users can maintain a low profile while performing their activities online. It helps in maintaining anonymity and reducing the chances of being blocked by target servers.
What is the correct usage of the IPCONFIG command to help troubleshoot a home network?
Use the IPCONFIG command to determine the IP address, Subnet Mask and the Default gateway address of the local device.
What is the difference between an internal IP and an external IP?
internal ip is ur lan ip external ip is ip of wan that is provided by isp
I have been checking someones facebook page for their wedding photo's I am not on friends list Can they tell my identity from my ip address if computer savvy?
No they cannot. It would be extremely difficult for someone to get your IP address just because you were on Facebook. It would involve someone hacking the Facebook servers to get your IP address. Even if they got it, they would then need to hack your internet providers servers to match up your IP address to you. If someone wanted to track your Facebook usage, it would be more likely that they would hack into your computer using various methods.
