Boson Notes #2 Flashcards
OSPF Maximum equal cost paths
OSPF can insert a maximum of FOUR equal-cost paths into the routing table by default.
By using maximum-paths 8 command you can override this.
Lightweight AP in bridged mode
Lightweight AP in bridged mode acts as a dedicated connection between two networks.
Needs a WLC to operate.
FlexConnect ACLs
FlexConnect ACLs are supported on the native VLAN, it is configured on wireless AP VLAN interfaces if it is operating in FlexConnect mode.
FlexConnect ACLs are applied per AP per VLAN.
FlexConnect mode enables a failsafe for lightweight AP if it’s connected to the WLC if CAPWAP tunnels goes down.
Types of Fram Size
Giant Frame exceeds 1518 bytes,
baby giant is up to 1600 bytes,
jumbo frame is up to 9216 bytes
runt frame that is fewer than 64 bytes
Collison
Collison occurs when a packet must be reset because of an interruption that occurs before the 64th byte or 512th bit.
When two devices transmit data at the same time a collision occurs.
Collisions can be caused by duplex mismatch, malfunctioning devices, or too many nodes on a network segment.
CSMA/CD
CSMA/CD – both devices will wait a random amount before resending
Autonomous AP
Autonomous AP contains interfaces for both wireless and wired networks.
Cisco hierarchical network model
Cisco hierarchical network model
Three layers: Core, Distribution (aka aggregation layer), and access layer.
Core – low latency high reliability, network backbone, fast convergence, fastest switching path.
Distribution - router filtering and inter-VLAN routing, security policies, QoS, routing, summarization, net hop redundancy.
Access – media termination points for end devices. Provides access to the network, user authentication.
Puppet
Puppet – TCP 8140, uses HTTP, client/server architecture.
Chef
Chef – client/server architecture or stand-alone client.
Chef communicates on TCP 443, configs stores in cookbook.
Ansible
Ansible -uses SSH,
configs stored in playbooks that is written in YAML.
Salt
Salt – client/server architecture, requires TCP 4505 4506
uses Python.
802.1w
802.1w – RSTP includes PortFast, UpLinkFast, BackboneFast.
PortFast enables ports for immediate access to the network.
UpLinkFast increases convergence speed for access layer SW
BackboneFast increases convergence speed for SW that detects a failure on links that are not directly connected to the Sw.
802.1D
802.1D – traditional STP.
802.1s
802.1s – Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) – creates multiple spanning-tree instances on a network.
802.3ad
LACP
Cisco lightweight AP
Cisco lightweight AP – operating in local mode and provides BSS.
BSS is a closed group of wireless devices that are dependent on a fixed device.
BSS is also the default that requires WLC.
The connection between a Lightweight AP and a WLC uses CAPWAP.
Lightweight AP in bridge mode
Lightweight AP in bridge mode – Bridge mode enables LWAP to act as a dedicated connection between two networks.
Will form a mesh network of lightweight AP

Feasible Distance
Feasible Distance – EIGRP term for best metric along a path to a destination.
