@Understanding OST and PST Files - Two Primary file type in Microsoft Outlook- PST and OST. While both formats serve essential roles, they function differently depending on your account type and usage needs. What are OST Files? OST files are local copies of mailbox data from Exchange, Outlook.com, or Office 365 accounts. They allow users to access and work with emails, calendars, contacts, and tasks offline . Once the internet connection is restored, all changes are automatically synced with the server. Key Features of OST Files: Offline Access : Continue working even without an internet connection. Synchronization : Updates are synced to the server once online. Recovery Friendly : If the server fails, data can often be restored from the OST file by re-syncing.   What are PST Files? PST files are data files used primarily with POP3, IMAP , or web-based email accounts. They store user data locally and are often used for personal backups,...

Hierarchical Network: Core, Distribution and Access Layer The Hierarchical Network Model is a structured approach to designing scalable and efficient networks. The design methodology achieves better management, performance, and security by dividing the network into different layers, each with specific functions and responsibilities.  It is typically divided into three main layers showing into the below hierarchy diagram. 1. Core Layer (Backbone) The Core Layer is a high-speed backbone of the network. It  Provides fast and reliable transport between distribution layer devices and always  connect multiple distribution Layer devices together. It is d esigned for speed, redundancy, and minimal latency. Also u ses high-end switches and routers with high bandwidth. Therefore, in this layer ensuring h igh-speed backbone, fast and reliable data transfer among of the next layer devices.  2. Distribution Layer (Aggregation Layer) By this layer all devices connects with t...

CCNA Class 18: BGP Concept and Configurations

  BGP Fundamental Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) refers to an Exterior Gateway Protocol that enables the Internet to exchange routing information and communication between Multiple autonomous systems (AS). The backbone protocol ensures global connectivity by determining the best paths for data transmission across networks.  Core Concepts of BGP Autonomous Systems (AS): Each AS represents a collection of networks under a single administrative control, identified by a unique Autonomous System Number (ASN). Path Vector Protocol: Unlike traditional distance-vector or link-state protocols, BGP uses a path vector routing protocol. It includes the complete AS path in routing updates, ensuring loop-free routing and enabling sophisticated policy control. Inter-Domain Routing: BGP is primarily designed for routing between AS(s) known as inter-domain routing. This is in contrast to protocols like OSPF or EIGRP, which handle intra-domain (within an AS) routing. Peering and Neighbor Relat...
