Confidential 'cloud'. Looking for alternatives to open solutions

I have an engineering background, but I interact more with entrepreneurs and production directors. Some time ago, the owner of an industrial company approached me for advice. Despite the fact that the enterprise is large and was established in the 90s, management and accounting operate in an outdated way within a local network. This is a result of concerns for their business and increased state control. Laws and regulations […]

Ideal local network

The standard local area network, in its current (average) form, was finalized many years ago, and its development has stagnated. On the one hand, the best is the enemy of the good; on the other hand, stagnation is not good either. Moreover, upon closer inspection, a modern office network capable of performing nearly all tasks of a typical office can be built more cheaply and […]

Cisco Training 200-125 CCNA v3.0. Day 29. PAT and NAT

Today, we will study PAT (Port Address Translation), a technology for translating IP addresses using ports, and NAT (Network Address Translation), the technology that transforms the IP addresses of transit packets. PAT is a specific case of NAT. We will cover three topics: — private or internal (intranet, local) IP addresses and public or external IP addresses; — NAT and PAT; — configuring NAT/PAT. Let's begin […]
