Stubby post: ROUTE Cert Kit Giveaway
Rofi at ITDualism is giving away a ROUTE cert kit to a random commenter. Swing by there and put your name in the hat.

ONT - Epic Fail
I failed the ONT test today. It was an utter lack of subject matter knowledge that did me in from the beginning. When the first three questions mention things that I’ve never even heard, it’s going to be a long test. I’ll take blame on it for
ONT Notes - WLAN Management
Elements of Cisco Unified Wireless Network
* Client devices – Cisco compatible extensions on WLAN clients
* Mobility platform – allows configuration of LWAPs through WLCs
* Network unification – integration into the rest of the network with WLCs doing RF management, IPS, etc.
* World-class network management – centralized management through WCS
* Unified advanced services – supports advanced
ONT Notes - 802.1x and Encryption on LWAPs
* Traditional WLAN weaknesses
* SSID for security
* Vulnerable to rogue APs
* MAC filtering for security
* WEP
* WEP weaknesses
* Disribution of static keys is not scalable
* WEP keys can be cracked easily
* Vulnerable to dictionary attacks
* No protection against rogue APs
* Benefits of 802.1x
* Centralized authentication through Radius via AAA
* Mutual
ONT Notes - QoS On Wireless Networks
* Wireless LANs (WLANs)
* Extensions to wired LANs
* Carrier sense multiple access collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) as media access method
* Uses distributed coordinated function (DCF) for collision avoidance
* DCF is based on RF carrier sense, inter-frame spacing (IFS), and random wait timers
* Wifi QoS standards
* 802.11e
* IEEE standard
* 0-7 priority
ONT Notes - AutoQoS
* AutoQoS benefits
* Automates QoS for most deployments
* Protects business-critical apps to maximize availability
* Simplifies QoS deployments
* Reduces configuration errors
* Cheaper, faster, and simpler deployments
* Follows DiffServ
* Allows complete control over QoS configs
* Allows modification of auto-generated configs
* AutoQoS phases of evolution
* AutoQoS VOIP – Early version that configures the basics without
ONT Notes - Pre-classify and End-to-end QoS
* VPNs (Didn’t ISCW cover this?)
* Provide
* Confidentiality
* Integrity
* Authentication
* Types
* Remote-access
* Client-initiated
* NAS-initiated
* Site-to-site
* LAN-to-LAN
* Extranet
* L3 Tunneling protocols
* GRE
* IPSec
* Pre-classify allows traffic to be classified before being sent across a tunnel or crypto-ed.
