Simple IPv6 Global Unicast question
Left most 001 are fixed, this means the left most nibble can be:
0010 = 0x2
0011 = 0x3
The 4th left most bit is not fixed.

Why is a PoE circuit limited to 328 feet?
PoE requires copper wire. Otherwise, longer reaching spans of fiber optic cable would normally be used along with a media converter + PoE power injector at the far end. Another solution to distance ...

Why is a PoE circuit limited to 328 feet?
IEEE PoE is an option for IEEE 802.3 twisted-pair Ethernet which is generally limited to 100m in total - up to 90m of rigid, solid-core cable and up to 10m of flexible, stranded cable.
If you use ...

Do PoE lighting systems require a separate network from other PoE systems?
If I have a managed switch with IP cameras, could I add (generic) PoE lighting on the same network or would I need to create a logical network to keep the two systems from seeing one another?

With Link Status down and Admin Mode enabled, I'd say the cable is either not fitted correctly or damaged.
I'd try reseating the SFP module and replugging both ends. Check the cable for excessive ...

Why should I use vlans instead of subnets?
VLAN's and subnets are not competing solutions to the same problem. They exist independent of one another. A local area network is one or more switches linked together. VLAN's are enabled by software ...

Why should I use vlans instead of subnets?
TLDR; VLANs reduce unneeded local broadcast traffic and can also reduce the ACL control points if paired with a logical IP range partitioning, besides reducing the network vulnerabilities exposure. ...

Why iBGP speaker should not modify next hop address?
One reason, I can think of, is when you have two exit points from your local AS. In this case setting next-hop-self on one of the boundary routers will change BGP's path selection to only use this ...

Why should I use vlans instead of subnets?
VLANs cannot replace IP subnets. But they can structure your network - for scalability, resilience, security, or some other reason.
Since hosts in different ...

Why should I use vlans instead of subnets?
VLANs are not a substitute for subnets, they are a substitute for physical LANs: actual wired connections. You use them in addition to subnetting, router ACLs, etc., not instead of.
So, you could have ...

How does ARP work, when the host with known MAC address is moved to another subnet
You're mixing up your ethernet layer and your IP layer.
Remember that ARP is a protocol where a host broadcasts "who has IP address x?" on a given ethernet, and (usually) receives an answer ...

In an SDN (OpenFlow), are all switches directly connected to controller?
The quoted answer is not quite correct. Switches have a logical connection to the controller, but not a physical one -- at least not in a network of any size.
Openflow protocol uses TCP/IP (port 6653)...

How does ARP work, when the host with known MAC address is moved to another subnet
Since you have a router, or 3 routers, between PC0 and PC1, PC0 would not learn PC1's mac address at all.
Most likely your PC0 would be configured to send all packets to its default gateway - the ...

How does ARP work, when the host with known MAC address is moved to another subnet
It seems that you have a conceptual problem, so I'm going to take it back to basics:

How does ARP work, when the host with known MAC address is moved to another subnet
The IPv4 address of the moved device would change, so it would be a completely different ARP table entry.
Remember, the ARP table is indexed by the IPv4 address, so trying to communicate would result ...
