Are you getting ready to take the Cisco CCNA or CCNP Certification Exam? One important concept to understand is frame relay protocols, such as BECN and FECN. These are essential topics to know when it comes to passing the exam. In this blog post, we'll discuss what BECN and FECN are and why they are important to understand for the CCNA/CCNP exam. So don't get BECN-ed or FECN-ed - learn the basics of frame relay protocols today! What is a BECN? BECN stands for Backward Explicit Congestion Notification. It is a signal sent from the far end of a Frame Relay network to the near end, indicating that congestion has been detected and that data should be slowed down or halted. In other words, when the remote side of a Frame Relay connection detects that its outbound queues are becoming full, it sends a BECN signal back to the sender telling them to reduce their transmission rate. This ensures that data can still move through the network at a steady rate, avoiding bottlenecks. The BECN ...

Are you considering Cisco CCNA certification? If so, it’s important to understand the different Cisco Switching Modes available. Cisco switches can be configured in a variety of ways, each with their own benefits and drawbacks. In this blog post, we'll explore the many faces of Cisco Switching Modes, including Access Mode, Trunk Mode, and EtherChannel. We'll discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each and how to select the right one for your network. What are the Different Switching Modes in Cisco? Cisco switching modes can make a big difference in how your network operates. There are three different modes to choose from: Layer 2, Layer 3, and Multi-Layer switching. Each mode has its own unique set of features and capabilities that can be beneficial for your network’s performance.  Layer 2 switching is the most basic form of switching and it works by forwarding data based on the MAC addresses of the devices on the network. Layer 3 switching adds the ability to route data p...
