...and Study Guide CISCO SYSTEMS NETWORKING Academy CCNA 2 Chapter 1 WANs and Routers One major characteristic of a wide-area network (WAN) is that the network operates beyond the local LAN's geographic scope. It uses the services of carriers, such as regional Bell operating companies (RBOCs), Sprint, and MCI. WANs use serial connections of various types to access bandwidth over wide-area geographies. By definition, the WAN connects devices that are separated by wide areas. WAN devices include the following: • • • • • • Routers, which offer many services, including internetworking and WAN interface ports Switches, which connect to WAN bandwidth for voice, data, and video communication Modems, which interface voice-grade services and channel service units/digital service units Channel service units/data service units (CSUs/DSUs) that interface T1/E1 services and Terminal Adapters/Network Termination 1 (TA/NT1s) TA/NT1s that interface Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) services Communication servers, which concentrate on dial-in and dial-out user communication Concept Questions 1. A WAN is used to interconnect local-area networks (LANs) that are typically separated by a large geographic area. A WAN operates at the OSI reference model physical and data link layers. The WAN provides for the exchange of data packets/frames between routers/bridges and the LANs that they support. Draw a WAN that includes three LANs. 1 of 116 CCNA 2 Chapter 1 WANs and Routers 2.

The report takes an in-depth look at the technical elements and algorithms used in these protocols, such as Bellman Ford, DUAL, and the Dijkstra Algorithm; and how these algorithms are used to calculate the routing metric. The report also discusses the fact that EIGRP is the most desirable protocol to use on Cisco based routers, while OSPF can be used across different router manufacturers. While looking at the technical considerations that are needed in choosing a routing protocol for a desired network the report will also look into the CPU/memory requirements, and how difficult the protocol is to install and maintain...

...VPN Concepts A virtual private network (VPN) is used to transport data from a private network to another private network over a public network, such as the Internet, using encryption to keep the data confidential. In other words, a VPN is an encrypted connection between private networks over a public network, most often the Internet. VPNs provide the following services: Confidentiality: VPNs prevent anyone in the middle of the Internet from being able to read the data. The Internet is inherently insecure as data typically crosses networks and devices under different administrative controls. Even if someone is able to intercept data at some point in the network they won’t be able to interpret it due to encryption. Integrity: VPNs ensure that data was not modified in any way as it traversed the re Internet. Authentication: VPNs use authentication to verify that the device at the other end of VPN is a legitimate device and not an attacker impersonating a legitimate device. Cost savings - VPNs enable organizations to use the global Internet to connect remote offices and remote users to the main corporate site, thus eliminating expensive, dedicated WAN links and modem banks. Security - VPNs provide the highest level of security by using advanced encryption and advanced authentication protocols that protect data from unauthorized access. Scalability - Because VPNs use the Internet infrastructure within ISPs and devices, it is easy to add new users. Corporations...

However, these network-based applications and services can pose security risks to individuals and to the information resources of companies and governments. Information is an asset that must be protected. Without adequate network security, many individuals, businesses, and governments risk losing that asset. Network security is the process by which digital information assets...

...Summary In this chapter, I talked about the differences between switches and bridges and how they both work at layer 2 and create a MAC address forward/filter table in order to make decisions on whether to forward or flood a frame. I also discussed problems that can occur if you have multiple links between bridges (switches) and how to solve these problems by using the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). Finally, I covered detailed configuration of Cisco’s Catalyst switches, including verifying the configuration, setting the Cisco STP extensions, and changing the root bridge by setting a bridge priority. Exam Essentials Remember the three switch functions. Address learning, forward/filter decisions, and loop avoidance are the functions of a switch. Remember the command show mac address-table. The command show mac address-table will show you the forward/filter table used on the LAN switch. Understand the main purpose of the Spanning Tree Protocol in a switched LAN. The main purpose of STP is to prevent switching loops in a network with redundant switched paths. Remember the states of STP. The purpose of the blocking state is to prevent the use of looped paths. A port in listening state prepares to forward data frames without populating the MAC address table. A port in learning state populates the MAC address table but doesn’t forward data frames. A port in forwarding state sends and receives all data frames on the bridged port. Last, a port in the disabled state is virtually ...
