The Dude network monitor

The Dude network monitor is a new application by MikroTik which can dramatically improve the way you manage your network environment. It will automatically scan all devices within specified subnets, draw and layout a map of your networks, monitor services of your devices and alert you in case some service has problems.

The Dude demo system: Our RouterOS demo routers are viewable from within the Dude, install The Dude and connect to our Demo dude system with the Dude Secure connection to 159.148.147.209

OSI Reference Model: Layer 2 Hardware

In my last article, I introduced the Open System Interconnect (OSI) reference model and discussed it's first layer; the Physical Layer. In this article I will discuss the second layer, the Data Link Layer, from a hardware perspective. The data link layer provides functional and procedural methods of transferring data between two points. There are five general functions which the Data Link layer is responsible for. These functions are: * Logical Link Control * Media Access Control * Data Framing * Addressing * Error Detection Logical Link Control The Logical Link Control (LLC) is usually considered a sublayer of the Data Link layer (DLL), as opposed to a function of the DLL. This LLC sublayer is primarily concerned with multiplexing protocols to be sent over Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer. The LLC does this by splitting up the data to be sent into smaller frames and adding descriptive information to these frames, called headers. Media Access Control Like LLC...

OSI Reference Model Layer 1 Hardware

The Open System Interconnect (OSI) reference model is a model, developed by the International Standards Organization (ISO), which describes how data from an application on one computer can be transferred to an application on another computer. The OSI reference model consists of seven conceptual layers which each specify different network functions. Each function of a network can be assigned to one, or perhaps a couple of adjacent layers, of these seven layers and is relatively independent of the other layers. This independence means that one layer does not need to be aware of what the implementation of an adjacent layer is, merely how to communicate with it. This is a major advantage of the OSI reference model and is one of the major reasons why it has become one of the most widely used architecture models for inter-computer communications. The seven layers of the OSI reference model, as shown in Figure 1, are: * Application * Presentation * Session * Transport * Ne...
