CCNP (switch) – VLAN

 VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network)                                                 Broadcast Domain     Collision Domain HUB                                                       1                                           1 Bridge                                                     1                                           4 Switch                                             By default 1                         Each port contains separate collision domain Why you have to create VLAN? If you have one broadcast domain, than there is no privacy of any department in the company. There are two solutions to solve this problem. One is, provide a separate switch to each department, but this would increase cost. And the other solution is, you have to break one physical broadcast domain to multiple logical broadcast domains. One VLAN already exist on every switch and this VLAN is…

CCNP (switch)- Network Design

Network Design There are three layers of a network design: Access layer Distribution layer Core layer Each network design consists of minimum two layers of network design. Access layer: Where end users are connected, this is called as access layer. And the devises through which they are connected are called as access devices. Core layer: Layer which is directly connected to service provider (internet) is called as core layer. Distribution layer: Layer which provides services to above two layers is called as distribution layer. Policies are running on this layer. This layer is used for policies because we need speed…

CCNP (switch)

CCNP (Switch) The purpose of switch is to switch the data from one device to another. By default, switch is a layer 2 device. Cisco switches are known as Catalyst. A switch, which works on more than one layers of OSI model, is known as Multilayer switch. Cisco Switch Series: CAT 1900 and CAT 2900 are the series, which works on layer 2. CAT 3500, CAT 4000, CAT 5500 and CAT 6500 series switches are multilayer switches. You can check the model of a switch by show version command on privillage mode. Switch Ports: Interfaces on a switch which connects…

Things to Consider When Designing Your Low Energy Dream House – Part 1

Low Energy Dream House . – My wife and I are considering selling our home and building a smaller house set up for two people that makes efficient use of space and uses as little energy as possible. Since I make my living as an industrial energy efficiency and renewable energy expert this should be right up my alley right? It also sounds like a lot of fun designing our perfect new place that we will enjoy for many years to come. We started looking for designs off the internet for net zero or super-insulated homes which got us thinking…

Strategic Importance of Gwadar Port for Pakistan

Introduction: Gwadar Port is the third deep sea port in Pakistan after Karachi and Port Qasim. Located on the western end of Baluchistan coast, Gwadar has 600km long coastal belt with beaches and bays. It lies just 624 nautical km to the east of Strait of Hormuz, which is an important rout of oil tankers bound for Japan and western countries out of Persian Gulf. Once a small fishing town along the Makran Coast is now set to be become a mega seaport which will fulfill the requirement of three strategically important regions the oil rich Middle East, heavily populated…

VC Peter Thiel: You can either invest in ‘bits’ or ‘atoms’

VC Peter Thiel: You can either invest in ‘bits’ or ‘atoms’

Investor Peter Thiel believes that you can either invest in companies that deal in bits or companies that deal in atoms. Right now Thiel seems to think there’s already too many “bits” companies and not enough “atom” companies. He may be right. Thiel, who spoke at the Techcrunch Disrupt conference Monday, gave the example of digital health. There are companies that run big data analytics trying to predict who will develop Alzheimer’s. “Then there is another company that is trying to cure Alzheimer’s.” The first company is dealing in bits, while the other is dealing in atoms, Thiel says. Thiel hit a home run…

Reducing the Energy Usage of Today’s Air Conditioning Systems

Reducing the Energy Usage of Today’s Air Conditioning Systems

Reducing the Energy Usage of AC As energy costs rise and climate change looms, more people are become concerned about the use of energy in their homes. Many of these homeowners are asking : How much energy do air conditioners use? The answer? Air conditioning likely accounts for more than 50 percent of energy costs during the summertime. Here is a new technology that will connect with most existing commercial air conditioning systems and reduce the energy used. It acts much a hybrid technology much like a battery and electric more work with a hybrid vehicle to reduce its average…

Pakistanis who are shaping the Tech Industry of Pakistan

Pakistanis who are shaping the Tech Industry of Pakistan

We’ve all seen the dot com bubble blow and burst. We’ve also all seen and read the success stories of the likes of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Larry Ellison and Michael Dell. Somewhere in the middle of this process, however, a lot of us have either ignored or simple never taken out the time to research into the people who are working with us and among us to rocket Pakistan into the global technological community. It is with that understanding that the team at TechJuice decided to publish a list of these very people in order…

Solar Energy – German Researchers Look to Replace Silicon in Solar Modules with Photosynthetic Proteins

Solar Energy – German Researchers Look to Replace Silicon in Solar Modules with Photosynthetic Proteins

A cooperation between chemists and biologists from the Ruhr-University Bochum resulted in a new method for the very efficient integration of photosynthetic proteins in photovoltaics. Their recent report in Chemistry – a European journal, selected as a very important paper (VIP) by the journal, offers a new immobilization strategy that yields electron transfer rates exceeding for the first time rates observed in natural photosynthesis. This discovery opens the possibility for the construction of semi-artificial leaves functioning as photovoltaic devices with drastically increased performance. Photosystem 1, a robust and efficient light harvesting protein In leaves, photosystem 1 (PS1) absorbs light and…
