WAN Flashcards
connectionless WAN system
i.e. internets
carries full addressing info in each packet
connection oriented WAN system
- predetermines packet’s route
- each packet only carries an identifier such as Data Link Connection Identifiers (DLCIs)
metro ethernet
use IP aware ethernet switches in the service provider’s network cloud to offer converged voice, data, and video services at ethernet speeds
3 classes of VPN protocols
carrier protocol-protocol over which info travels (frame-relay, ATM, MPLS)
encapsulation protocol-protocol that is wrapped around data (GRE, IPsec, L2F, PPTP, L2TP_
passenger protocol-protocol over which original data was carried (IPX, Appletalk, IPv4/6)
HMAC
keyed hashed message authentication code
-data integrity algorithm used by VPNs
VPN Authentication methods
PSK (pre-shared key) secret key is shared between 2 parties using secure channel
RSA signature: uses exchange of digital certificates
4 IPsec squares administrators must fill
- IPsec protocol
- encryption algorithm
- authentication algorithm
- DH (diffie-hellman) group which handles key exchange
CPE
Customer premises equipment, self explanatory
Demarcation point
Where service providers responsibility ends and CPE begins
Local loop
Connects demarc to central office
Digital signal 0(DS0)
64 Kbps
T1
DS1, containes 24 DS0 circuits, 1.544 Mbps
E1
European equivalent of t1, 2.048 Mbps
T3
DS3
28 DS1’s or 672 DS0’s
44.736 Mbps
OC-3
Optical carrier 3
Fiber
3 DS3’s
155.52 Mbps
OC-12
4 OC-3’s
622.08 Mbps
OC-48
4 OC-12’s
2488.32 Mbps
Frame relay
Packet switched
ISDN
Integrated services digital network
Uses phone lines
Faster than pots
HDLC
High-level data-link control
Data link protocol
PPP
Point to point protocol
Uses link control protocol(lcp)
To manage data link connections
Network control protocol(ncp) is used to allow multiple upper layer protocols to be used
PPPoE
Point to point protocol over ethernet
LCP
Link control protocol
Method of establishing, configuring, and maintaining and terminating point to point connections
NCP
Network control protocol
Method of establishing and configuring different network layer protocols for transport across the PPP link
LCP configuration options
Authentication Compression Error detection Multilink PPP callback
PPP session establishment steps
Link-establishment phase
Authentication phase(if used)
Network layer protocol phase
Frame relay access rate
Maximum speed at which frame relay interface can transmit
Frame relay CIR
Committed information rate
Max bandwidth of data guaranteed to be delivered
Configure frame relay on Cisco router
Use encapsulation frame-relay command on serial interface
DLCI
Data link connection identifiers
Identifies the virtual circuit in frame relay circuita
