RARP
Diskless workstations have no way to know own IP address

Ethernet port is on card itself.. can’t be changed
SNMP

SMTP
• Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
• Used as the protocol between mail servers
• Not between mail clients (such as pine and
eudora) and the mail server
– pop3
– imap
• more later!
Routing protocols
• Interior Gateway Protocols
– managed in an area such as CNU
– varies in managed areas
• Exterior Gateway Protocols
– connections between IGPs and the internet core
• Border Gateway Protocols
– between two IGP areas directly connected
IGP
• RIP
– old, standard method
– only evaluates hops
• OSPF
– has more elaborate criteria for evaluating routes
• Both are protocols that dynamically update
routing tables as conditions change
– links are dropped
– routers go down
• Need redundancy to make them effective
