IRDP/ICMP

Router R3 is connected on it's ethernet interface to SW3 (working only as a l2 switch) and we have to send him default gateway via IRDP. This how such configuration would looks like:

R3


R3#sh run int fast 0/0.50
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 262 bytes
!
interface FastEthernet0/0.50
encapsulation dot1Q 50
ip address 172.16.30.3 255.255.255.128
ip irdp
ip irdp multicast
ip irdp maxadvertinterval 20
ip irdp minadvertinterval 20
ip irdp holdtime 60
ip irdp preference 100
ip irdp address 0.0.0.0 100
end

R3#


and


SW3#sh run int vlan 50
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 93 bytes
!
interface Vlan50
ip address 172.16.30.10 255.255.255.128
ip irdp
ip irdp multicast
end

SW3#


however, to make it work you'd need to enable it by entering

ip gdp irdp


SW3#show ip route
Gateway Using Interval Priority Interface
172.16.30.3 IRDP 20 100 Vlan50

Default gateway is 172.16.30.3

Host Gateway Last Use Total Uses Interface
ICMP redirect cache is empty

CompTIA+

Sometimes you just need a good distraction, and I randomly got the urge to study for an exam;  something I haven't done in years. I decided to look into network security and started watching some CompTIA training videos, and...it was all a bit too familiar. Apparently the search continues.

The thing I didn't see coming

I keep forgetting I have this blog. But today felt like the right time to write something - something a bit more personal than usual. I want to talk about burnout. A while back I was deep in a very large infrastructure project. What started as a technical role slowly turned into something much broader - I found myself handling bits of legal, commercial negotiations, RFP work, supplier discussions. A lot of moving parts. And somewhere along the way, I realised I was doing most of it on my own. The late nights started adding up. Long calls with suppliers making sure the bill of materials was right, checking the solution actually held together end to end, always that nagging feeling that something had been missed somewhere. It just kept going. And then something shifted in me. It's hard to describe. I'd never experienced anything like it before - burnout, anxiety, call it what you want - but it hit me in a way I really wasn't prepared for. I've always been someone who...
