Layer 2 vs Layer 3 addressing
11
Layer 2 Layer 3
● Burned-in address
● Adjacent communication
● Consist of 48 bit binary,
written in HEX format. 1
HEX = 4 bit
● Unique for every physical
port
● 6 first HEX digit ->
represent the manufacturer
● Logical address
● End-to-end communication
● IPv4 32 bit long
● 2 versions: IPv4 (our focus)
and IPv6
● Consist of network part &
host part
● Can be class based IP
address (without subnet)
● Now it is classless IP
address -> VLSM (variable
length subnet mask)
● CIDR (classless inter
domain routing)

12. www.glcnetworks.com
IP spec (RFC 791)
● Defined long time ago (what 1981?)
● Defines how the IP header looks like
● Still used up to know
● New version -> IPv6
12

13. www.glcnetworks.com
How the layer 3 address look like?
● IPv4 address is 32 bit long
● Written in binary -> always think in binary
● Displayed to human in decimal every 8 bit (octet).
● Has 2 parts: network part and host part
● Like a phone number 0812 XXXXXXXX -> hierarchical
● All devices in the network will have same network part
● First and last address cannot be used (for network id and broadcast id)
13
Network part host part

14. www.glcnetworks.com
VLSM RFC
● Variable-Length Subnet Masking
(VLSM)
● Can divide an IP address block into
subnets of different sizes using /
(slash) notation
● Solution the in efficient of classful IP
address (fixed length). No more class
A, B, C
● RFC: 1878 (1895)
● Basis for CIDR
● Example: 23.45.0.0/17
○ 23.45.0.0/25
○ 23.45.0.128/25
14

15. www.glcnetworks.com
CIDR RFC
● CIDR: Classless Inter-Domain Routing
● Provides a new and more flexible way
to specify network addresses in routers
(using slash as notation)
● allow flexible allocation of Internet
Protocol (IP) addresses.
● CIDR lets a routing table entry
represent an aggregation of networks
that exist in the forward path
● Each IP address has a network prefix
that identifies their network
● RFC: 1519
15

16. www.glcnetworks.com
Router and Routing
● Router is a network device that is used to forward packets, based on layer 3
information (layer 3 header)
● Routing is the process of selecting a path for traffic in a network, or between
or across multiple networks

Typical connection (physical)
17
R2
R1
R3
● Router connects layer 2
segments
● Router works on layer 3
● Meaning, each layer 2
segment has network ID

18. www.glcnetworks.com
Typical connection (logical) and routing table
Routing table:
● A table at router that is used to forward packet
● Available on every devices (router and host)
● Entry is executed sequentially

Forwarding packets using routing table
● It works like a firewall: match and action
● When a packet arrived, routing table is used to forward packets
● You should think in binary to understand how it works

Administrative distance
● Distance is considered when prefix
length is same
● Lowest distance wins
● Administrative distance policy is
depends on vendor
● Table on the right shows an example of
administrative distance on cisco router

24. www.glcnetworks.com
Static routing
● Entries on routing table is created
manually
● Admin must manage routing table
in all routers
● Admin have full control

Dynamic routing
● Router will talk to each other with routing
protocol (RIP, OSPF, BGP)
● Entries on routing table is created
automatically
● Admin must have a good knowledge about
routing protocol

Autonomous system (AS)
● Is a collection of routers and networks under one administration and apply
single routing policy
● AS is identified by a number (ASN), given by RIR (Regional Internet Registry:
APNIC, ARIN, RIPE, etc)
26
AS1
AS4
AS3
AS2

27. www.glcnetworks.com
Addressing, IANA, RIR
● Internet is based on IP (internet protocol) addressing scheme -> RFC791
● Addressing has to be unique.
● We need an international body that regulates IP addressing -> IANA (Internet
Assigned Number Authority)
● IANA delegates (some of its authority) to RIR “Regional Internet Registry”
● RIR delegates to country’s
● Every organisation must have IP address block to join the internet and
build a routing scheme among their equipment
27

28. www.glcnetworks.com
● Currently, routing is done one-way only
● Forwarding process on router is based on destination IP address
● There is no guarantee incoming path is similar to outgoing path
● We can only control outgoing forwarding

Interior vs exterior routing
29

30. www.glcnetworks.com
IGP and EGP
● IGP: Interior Gateway Protocols
○ Routing protocol that runs internally within AS
○ Connecting networks within AS
○ Example: RIP, OSPF
● EGP: Exterior Gateway Protocol
○ Routing protocol that runs between AS
○ Connecting an AS to other ASes
○ Example: BGP
30

31. www.glcnetworks.com
AS1
IGP vs EGP
IGP
● intra-AS routing exchange
● Example: OSPF, RIP
EGP
● inter-AS routing exchange
● Can be used also for intra-AS
● Example: BGP

32. www.glcnetworks.com
● Route scope and target scope attributes can be used to resolve nexthop
router.
● Normally nexthops can be resolved only through routes that are on link.
● It is very useful when the gateway is not directly connected
Multiple routing protocol: scope and target scope

How OSPF works
33

34. www.glcnetworks.com
www.glcnetworks.com
What is OSPF?
• Dynamic routing protocol, link-state, with Dijkstra Algorithm
• Hierarchical routing (using area)
• IGP (interior gateway protocol), all router must have same AS
number
• use protocol number 89
• Used by millions organizations
• Support load balancing
Drawbacks:
• CPU intensive
• More complex (compared to RIP)
34

35. www.glcnetworks.com
www.glcnetworks.com
Some OSPF terminology
• Neighbor: adjacent router that is running OSPF
• Adjacency: condition where no routing information
exchanged
• Link: refers to network / router interface
• Router-ID: IP address that is used to identify router
• Link-state: status of the link between router
• Cost: the value of each link, depends on bandwidth of
media
35

36. www.glcnetworks.com
www.glcnetworks.com
Router type on OSPF network?
• Area: collection of networks
• ASBR: AS border router
• ABR: Area border router
• IR: internal router
36

37. www.glcnetworks.com
www.glcnetworks.com
OSPF cost?
OSPF uses cost to select the best routing entry
CLI: /routing ospf route print

OSPF tips
● Be careful with DR election
● Stable OSPF
● Make sure parameter is matched on a link
