SFP devices added to routers plus random stuff Flashcards
FXO card
Card that allows us to connect analog phone loines to the router
EHWIC
card that allows us to connect a T! internet connection to the router
switch module
allows us to connect up to 24 ethernet based devices directly to the router. Turs router into a router and a switch.
flooding
if a switch doesn’t have a matching MAC it sends the frame out of all the ports.
security steps include for new switches
create vlan and shut it doen
Move unused ports to unused vlan
shut down unused ports.
block devices not on the mac list.
Layer 3 switches
can connect vlans and contain ACL
ONT
Optical network terminal -converts fiber optic to TP
PoE
power over ethernet
EAP
(Extensible Authentication Protocol): Runs within the 802.1X framework to support various authentication methods
- EAP-TLS: Uses certificates on both the client and the server for strong mutual authentication.
- PEAP (Protected EAP) and EAP-TTLS: Encapsulate EAP within a secure tunnel, allowing the use of simpler credentials like usernames and passwords while still providing strong security.
AirMagenet Survey Pro or ekahau
software used to plan wireless networks and oiptimize the placement of each access point.
Cisco Meraki
Cloud based access point controller for wireless networks.
DCF
Distributed Cordinated Fuction
Ensures signals don’t collide.
SDN - Northbound interface
Southbound interface
Of Control layer
Connection between controller and application is called Northbound
Connnection between controller and infrastructure is called Southbound interface.
