29
Q

NTP Stratum

A

Stratum 0 devices (including atomic and gps clocks) are the most accurate, but cannot be connected to via a network connection. A Stratum 0 device is usually used as a reference clock (or synchronisation source) for a Stratum 1 time server.

Stratum 1 devices are the most accurate ntp time sources accessible via a network connection. A Stratum 1 device would normally be synchronised via a Stratum 0 reference clock.

Stratum 2 devices are synchronised from a Stratum 1 device across a network connection. Due to network jitter and delays, Stratum 2 servers are not as accurate as Stratum 1 time servers. An NTP client synchronised from a Stratum 2 source would be a Stratum 3 device etc…

30
Q

Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)

A

Allows for numerous different mechanisms of authentication.

31
Q

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)

A

Validates a username and password combination against an LDAP server as a form of authentication.

-Commonly used Layer 2 protocol on dedicated lease lines to transmit multiple Layer 3 protocols (IP, IPX)
-directly connects two network devices at the data link layer
-WAN

33
Q

Password Authentication Protocol (PAP)

A

Performs one-way authentication between client and server

Sent in the clear

34
Q

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

A

Used to setup, maintain, and tear down calls

35
Q

Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)

A

*Lets routers know which interfaces have multicast receivers
*Allows clients to join a multicast group

36
Q

Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)

A

-Sends client a string of random text “challenge” which is then encrypted using a password and sent back to the server
-Performs one-way authentication using a three-way handshake.
-Hashed credentials

37
Q

Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
