  • How to prevent Routing updates on interfaces of Cisco Routers

    When we configure a routing protocol on Cisco IOS Routers, it is important to consider preventing Routing updates sent on interfaces that are not required to (say a LAN where there is no other router in the segment to receive any updates). This ensure we are not passing updates that could cause network issues. Needless to say, the network becomes less chatty and can make life more easy when sniffing or spanning for network troubleshooting.

    In Cisco IOS we can globally or selectively prevent interfaces on which we do not want routing updates to be sent. Ideally, it would be better that we do this globally and then selectively allow interfaces that can send routing updates.

  • How to add Static routes and Default routes in Cisco IOS

    Static routes allow administrators to configure routes for specific hosts or networks manually as against learning dynamically using routing protocols like RIP, EIGRP and OSPF. Static routes basically tells the Cisco IOS of which next hop router or the exit interface on the local router that the traffic for a particular host or network needs to be passed to.

    To add a Static Route in cisco ios based switches and routers the following is the command syntax. This command is run from the global configuration mode.
