Hot Standby Router Protocol. In computer networking, the Hot Standby Router Protocol ( HSRP) is a Cisco proprietary redundancy protocol for establishing a fault-tolerant default gateway. Version 1 of the protocol was described in RFC 2281 in 1998. Version 2 of the protocol includes improvements and supports IPv6 but there is no corresponding ...
The WPS push button (center, blue) on a wireless router showing the symbol defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance for this function. Wi-Fi Protected Setup ( WPS) originally, Wi-Fi Simple Config, is a network security standard to create a secure wireless home network . Created by Cisco and introduced in 2006, the purpose of the protocol is to allow home ...

Cisco IOS. The Internetworking Operating System [2] ( IOS) is a family of proprietary network operating systems used on several router and network switch models manufactured by Cisco Systems. The system is a package of routing, switching, internetworking, and telecommunications functions integrated into a multitasking operating system.
Administrative distance ( AD) or route preference [1] is a number of arbitrary unit assigned to dynamic routes, static routes and directly-connected routes. The value is used in routers to rank routes from most preferred (low AD value) to least preferred (high AD value). [2] [3] When multiple paths to the same destination are available in its ...
TACACS is defined in RFC 8907 (older RFC 1492), and uses (either TCP or UDP) port 49 by default. TACACS allows a client to accept a username and password and send a query to a TACACS authentication server, sometimes called a TACACS daemon. It determines whether to accept or deny the authentication request and sends a response back.
The Routing Information Protocol ( RIP) is one of the oldest distance-vector routing protocols which employs the hop count as a routing metric. RIP prevents routing loops by implementing a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path from source to destination. The largest number of hops allowed for RIP is 15, which limits the size of networks ...
In a home or small office environment, the default gateway is a device, such as a DSL router or cable router, that connects the local network to the Internet. It serves as the default gateway for all network devices. Enterprise network systems may require many internal network segments. A device wishing to communicate with a host on the public ...
