Port Mirroring or Monitoring Cisco 857 Router

Port Mirroring or Monitoring Cisco 857 Router

If you want to check what traffice is going on or you want to use Wireshark with your router cisco 857 so Clients are connected to port Fa0 and and your Wireshark Machine is connected to Fa1 then use below command.

Conf  t

monitor session 1 source interface Fa0
monitor session 1 destination interface Fa1

you can also use VLAN 1 as your source to capture everything

Security tools

I am  very impressed by the collective smarts of the security community and I highly recommend reading the whole list and investigating any tools you are unfamiliar with. Click any tool name for more details on that particular application, including the chance to read (and write) reviews. Many site elements are explained by tool tips if you hover your mouse over them. Enjoy!

How to get Block size of given subnet mask

Subnet mask -256

Example:-   Given subnet mask = 255.255.255.248

Block Size will be  256 – 248 = 8

Usable IPs will be    8 – 2 = 6

Because first IP will be used for Network ID and Last IP will be used for Broadcast

How to get Block Size of given Bit

32 Bit – given Bit = x bit     Block Size   (2) the power     x bit

For Example:-  Given IP address range is 8.12.172.100 /29

Block Size will be    32 bit – 29 bit = Block size 3 bit              (2)3 = 2x2x2 = 8

So there will be 8 subnets    To get first IP subnet Block 256 / Block Size

For Above Block Example    256 /8 = 32

1-      Block   0 – 31

2-      Block   32- 63

3-      Block  64 –95

4-       Block 96 – 127

5-      Block 128 – 159

6-      Block 160 – 191

7-      Block 192 – 223

8-      Block 224 – 256
