Although Bob is glad that you want to expand your skills and lmowledge, he wants to assess your level of preparedness before taking you with him on WAN deployment jobs. To gauge your level of preparedness for WAN deployments, CCS provides atest. Bob tells you that the test will require you to demonstrate your knowledge of WAN devices, WAN cabling, WAN protocols, and WAN technologies. Introduction to WAN Technologies A.WAN is a data communications network that operates beyond the geographic scope of LAN. WANs wse facilities that a service provider or carrier, such as a telephone or cable company, provides. The provider comnects the locations of an organization to each other, fo locations of other organizations, to extemal services, and to remote users. WANs cary various traffic types such as voice, data, and video.‘The following are three major characteristics of WANs: + WANs generally connect devices that are separated by a broader geographic area than a LAN can serve. + WANS use the services of carriers such as telephone companies, cable companies, satelite systems, and network providers. + WANS use connections of warious types to provide access to bandwidth over large geographic areas. Introduction to WAN Technologies (Cont.) a acer ‘There are several reasons why WANs are necessary in 2 communications environment 4 Irtexconnectng isco Networking Davies: Accelerated (CCNA) 2017 Cisco Systems, neLAN technologies provide speed and cost efficiency for the transmission of data in organizations in relatively small geographic areas. You need WANS in a communications environment because some business needs require communication among remote sites for many reasons, including the following + People in the regional or branch offices of an organization need to be sble to communicate and share ata. + Organizations often want to share information with other organizations across large distances. + Employees wino travel on company busines: frequently need to access information that esis on their ‘corporate networks, Because itis not feasible to connect computers across a country or around the world in the same way that computers are connected in a LAN environment with cables, different technologies have evolved to support this need, Increasingly, the Intemet is being used as an inexpensive altemative to an enterprise WAN for some applicationsWAN Topology Options A physical topology describes the physical arranger(@)vof network devices that allows for data to move from a source to a destination network. There are three basic topologies for a WAN design. WAN Topology Options Sia, or Huang Spoke, Topology enefita: Network snp. ow number of crests {Drawoseks: Sutoptinal tate Rou. no reeundsncy Futy Meshes Toptony: tia: Anjan covectty,hgh ew otredundancy qb “Drawoacks: Confiqusion complenty number treats Pactiay Meshod Topoleny “A compromse between stand uly meshed Star or hub-and-spoke topology: This topology features a single hub (central router) that provides aocess from remote networks to a Core router. All communication among the networks goes through the core router. The advantages ofa star approach are simplified management and minimized tariff costs. However, the disadvantages are sigificant +The central router (hub) represents a single point of failure +The central router limits the overall performance for access to centralized resources. The central router is.a single pipe that manages al trafic thet is intended either forthe centralized resources or for the other regional routers, Fullly meshed topology: In this topology, each routing node on the periphery ofa given packet-switching network has a direct path to every other node om the cloud. The key rationale for creating a fully meshed environment is to provide a high level of redundancy. A fully meshed topology is not viable in large packet- switched networks. The following are the key issues of a fully meshed topology. + Many virtual circuits are required (one for every conection between router). + Configuration is complex for routers without multicast support in nonbroadcast environments, (isco Networking Davies:Partially meshed topology: This topology reduces the number of routers within a region that have direct ‘connections to all other nodes in the region, All nodes are not commected to all other nodes, There are many forms of partially meshed topologies. In genera, partially meshed approaches provide the best balance for regional topologies, which are based on the number of virtual circuits, redundancy, and performance Note Large networks usually deploy layered combination ofthese teshnologies—for example, spatial mesh in the network core, redundent hub-ang-spoke for larger branches, and simple hub-anc-speke for noneiical remote looatons| ‘Network downtime can be very expensive in terms of decreased productivity and potential loss of revenue. To increase network availability, many organizations deploy a dual-carrier (VAN design to increase redundancy and path diversity ‘Single-carrier WANs are simpler and easier to support and manage. However, network outages can be catastrophic. You should perform an analysis ofthe downtime cost. You should make sure that there are adequate penalties inthe contract with the service provider to cover the cost of downtime. Duel-carrier WANs provide better path diversity with better fault isolation between providers. The cost of downtime to your organization usually exceeds the additional cost of the second provider and the complexity of managing redundancyWAN Connectivity Options ‘You have many options for implementing WAI solutions. These options differ in technology, speed, and cost. WAN connections can be either over a prvate(@@\astructue or over a public infrastructure such asthe Intemet. WAN Connectivity Options Ee Internet Private WAN connections include dedicated and switched communication link options: + Dedicated communication links: When permanent dedicated connections are required, point-to-point lines are used with various capacities that are limited only by the underlying physical facilities andthe ‘willingness of users to pay for these dedicated lines. A point-to-point link provides a pre-established WAN communications path from the customer premises through the provider network to a remote destination. You usually lease point-to-point lines from a carrier, so they are also called leased lines Leased lines were more popular in the past. Now a company may use a provider-managed VPN or enterprise: managed VPN over the Intemet. Companies prefer enterprise- or provider-managed VPNs because leased lines are by far the most expensive solution. + Switched communication links: Switched communication links can be either circuit-switched or packet-switched, — Cirevit.switched communication links: Cireuit switching dynamically establishes a dedicated virtual comnection for voice or data between a sender and a receiver. Before communication can start, the connection through the network of the service provider must be established. Examples of circuit-switched communication links are analog dialup (PSTN) and ISDN. ~ Packet-switched communication links: Many WAN users do not make efficient ure ofthe fixed ‘bandwidth that is available with dedicated, switched, or permanent circuits because the data flow ‘fluctuates. Communications providers have data networks that are available to more appropriately service these users. In packet-switched networks, the data is transmitted in labeled frames, cells, or packets. Packetswitched communication links include Frame Relay, ATM, and X25. Intaconnacting isco Networking Davies: Acca 1d (CONAN 2017 Cisco Systems, nePublic connections use the global Internet infrastructure. Until recently, the Internet was not a viable networking option for many organizations because of the significant security risks and lack of adequate performance guarantees in an end-to-end Intemet connection. With the development of the VPN fechnology, however, the Intemet is now an inexpensive and secure option for connecting to teleworkers and remote offices where performance guarantees are not critical. Intemet WAN connection links go through broadband services such as DSI. cable modem, and broadband wireless, and they are combined with VEN technologies (for example, DMVPN, GET VPN) to provide privacy across the Internet. Broadband comection options are typically used to connect telecommuting employees to a corporate site over the Intemet | Service providers build networks by using different underlying technologies, the most popular being IVPLS. Examples of provider-manazed VPNs are Layer 3 MPLS VPN and Layer 2 MPLS VPNs (VPWS and \VPLS). MPLS is an IETF standard that defines a packet label-based switching technique, which was onginally devised to perform fast switching in the core of IP networks. This technique helped carriers and lage enterprises scale their networks as increasingly large routing tables become more complex to manage ‘The industry began using MPLS over a decade ago 28 a way to allow enterprises to ereate end-to-end circuits scross any type of transport medium using any available WAN technology ‘WAN Connectivity Options (Cont.) SPs use several diferent WAN technologies to connect their subscribers. The comnection type that is used onthe local loop, or last mile, may not be the same as the WAN comnection type that the ISP employs ‘within the ISP network or between various ISPs. Each of these technologies provides advantages and disadvantages for the customer. Not all teclmologies are available at all locations. When a service provider receives data, it must forward this data to other remote sites for final delivery to the recipient. These remote sites either connect to the ISP network or pass the data from ISP to ISP and to the recipient. Long-range communications are usually these connections between ISPs or among branch offices in very large companies.Provider-Managed VPNs Provider-managed VPNs can either offer Layer ? or Layer 3 connectivity. IMPLS is a tecimology that was designed to support efficent forwarding of packets (G\ss the network core that is based om a simplified header Provider-Managed VPNs Ha 4 Layer 2 MPLS VPN (VPLS and VPWS}: © Customer routers exchange routes directly. Some applications need Layer 2 connectivity to work Layer 3 MPLS VPN: Customer routers exchange routes with service provider routers, Ihprovides Layer 3 service aeross the backbone, Layer 2MPLS VPN is useful for customers who rin their own Layer 3 infrastructure and require Layer 2 connectivity from the service provider. In this case, the customer manages its own routing information. One advantage that Layer 2 VPN has over its Layer 3 counterpart is that some applications do not work if nodes are not in the same Layer 2 network Some typical examples of Layer 2 VPN are VPLS and PWS. Ifyou look from the customer perspective, with Layer 2 MPLS VPN, you can imagine a whole service provider network as one big virtual switch, Layer 3 MPLS VPN provides Layer 3 service across the backbone. A separate IP subnet is used on each customer site, When you daploy a routing protocol over this VPN, the service provider needs to participate inthe exchange of routes. Nejzhbor adjacency is established between your CE router and PE router (which the service provider owns). Within the service provider network, there are many P routers (service provider core routers). The job of P routers is to provide comectivity between PE routers. What this situation means is tha the service provider becomes the backbone of your (customer) network. Layer 3 VEN is appropriate for customers who prefer to outsource their routing to a service provider. The service provider maintains and manages routing forthe customer sites, Ifyou look from the customer perspective, with Layer 3 MPLS VPN, you can imagine the whole service provider network as one big virtual router. (isco Networking Davies:Enterprise-Managed VPNs Organizations need secure, reliable, and cost-effective ways to comnect corporate headquarters, branch offices, and teleworkers working in home offices and other remote locations. A VPN is usually a bridge betnveen two private networks. You build that bride((@ era public network, typically th Intemet. VEN enables headquarters and branch office devices to send and receive dats as if they were directly connected. Enterprise-Managed VPNs = alle ate © Regen Once win Home Oise win Mbe Worker wh ‘SEacoRcuer Chaco AmySonnact en aapinp Compt | Ea Aoworscomon A.VPN is a virtual private network that is constructed within a public network infrastructure, such as the ¢global Internet. VPNs provide an inexpensive altemative to private WAN connections. They are particularly: hhelpfil in organizations whose workforce is highly mobile and frequently needs to connect remotely to the conporate network and access sensitive data. ‘As shown in the figure, there are two types of VPN networks: + Site-to-site VPN: A siteto-site VPN is an extension ofa classic WAN network. End hosts send and receive traffic through 2 VPN device, which could be a router or Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (Cisco ASA). This device is responsible for encapsulating and encrypting outbound traffic for all traffic ‘rom a particular site and sending it through a VPN tunnel over the Interzet to a peer VPI device on the ‘target site. Upon receipt, the peer VPN gateway strips the headers, decrypts the content if it was ‘encrypted, and relays the packet toward the target host that is inside its private network. Many site-to- site VEN options are available + Remote-access VPN: Remote-access VPNs can support the needs of telecommuters, mobile users, and ‘extranet, consumer-to-business traffic. In a remote-aocess VPN, each host typically uses the Cisco AuyComnect VPN Client software, Whenever the host ties to send any traffic, the Cisco AnyConnect ‘VEN Client software encapsulates the traffic before sending it over the Internet to the VEN gateway at the edge of the target network. The VEN client may also encrypt the traffic before sending it over the Intemet to the VPN gateway. Upon receipt, the VEN gateway behaves as it does for site-fo-site VENs.‘VPNs provide the following benefits: + Cost savings: VPNs enable organizations to use a cost-effective, third-party Intemet transport to conmect remote offices and remote users to the main corporate site. The use of VPNs therefore eliminates expensive, dedicated WAN links, Furthermore, with the advent of cost-effective, bandwidth technologies such as DSL organizations can use VPNs to reduce their connectivity costs ‘while simultaneously increasing remote comection bandwidth. + Scalability: VPNs enable comporations to use the Internet infrastructure, which makes new users easy to add. Therefore, comporations can adil large amounts of cepacity without adding sienificant infrastructure. For example, « corporation with an existing VPN between a branch office and the headquarters can securely connect new offices by simply making a few changes to the VPN configuration and ensuring that the new office has an Internet connection. Scalability is a major benefit of VPNs, + Compatibility with broadband technology: VPNs allow mobile workers, telecommuters, and people ‘who want to extend their work day to take advantage of high-speed, broadband connectivity, such as DSL and eable, to gain access to their corporate network. This ability provides workers with significant flexibility and efficiency. Furthermore, high-speed, broadband comections provide a cost-effective solution for connecting remote offices + Security: VPNs can provide the highest level of security by using advanced encryption and authentication protocols that protect deta from unauthorized access. The two available options are [Psec and SSL. ‘There are many site-to-site VPIN options. However, each option isa litle bit different than the other. Enterprise-Managed VPNs (Cont.) Site-to-site VPN options: = IPsec tunnel: IPsoc is a tameworkf open secunty standards, + GRE over IPsec: ‘Addlton of GRE to HPeac enables routing and multicast + DMVPN (Cisco proprietary): Simple hub-and-spoke configuration. —Zero-touch caniguraton or naw spokes. ¥¢c VT (Cisco proprietary): = Sinpliiad [Pees tunnel mode configuration ~_Natively supports features that previously equied GRE (outing, multicast) (isco Networking Davies:IPsec Tunnel Psee provides a tunnel mode of operation that enables you to use it as a standalone connection method. ‘This option isthe most fndamental IPsec VPN design model. IPsec provides four important security services: + Confidentiality (encryption): The sender can encrypt the packets before transmitting them across 2 network. By doing so, nobody can eavesdrop on the communication. If nother device intercepts the ‘communication, it cannot reat + Data integrity: The receiver can verify thatthe data was transmitted through the path without being ‘changed or altered in any way. IPsec ensures dats integrity by using checksums, which isa simple sedmdancy check, + Authentication: Authentication makes sure that the comnectiom is made with the desired ‘communication partner. The receiver can authenticate the source ofthe packet by guaranteeing and ‘certifying the source of the information. IPsec uses IKE to authenticate users and devices that can carry ‘out commuication independently. IKE uses several types of authentication including usemames and. passwords, one-time passwords, biometrics, PSKs, and digital certificates. + Antireplay protection: Antireplay protection verifies that each packet is unique and not duplicated ‘IPsec packets are protected by comparing the sequence number of the received packets with a sliding ‘window on the destination host. A packet that has 2 sequence number that is before the sliding window 4s considered either a late or duplicate packet. Late and duplicate packets are dropped. GRE over IPsec Although IPsec provides a secure method for tunneling data across an IP network, it has limitations. Psec does not support IP broadcast or IP multicast, preventing the use of protocols that rely on these features, such as routing protocols. Psec also does not support the use ofthe multiprotocol traffic. GRE is protocol that can be used to cary other passenger protocols, such as IP broadcast or IP multicast, and non-[P protocols. Using GRE tunnels with IPsec will give you the ability to nm a routing protocol, IP multicast, or rultiprotoeol traffic seross the network between the headend or headends and branch offices, With a generic huib-and-spoke topology, you can typically implement static tumnels (typically GRE over Psec) between the central hub and remoie spokes. When you want to add a new spoke to the network, you need to configure it on the hub router. Also, the trafic between spokes has to traverse the hub, where it must eit one tumnel and enter another. Static tunnels may be an appropriate solution for small networks, but this solution becomes unacceptable as the mumber of spokes grows larger and larger.Cisco DMVPN The Cisco Dyuamie Multipoint Virtual Private Network (DMVPN) enables you to better scale large and small IPsec VPNs. The Cisco DMVPN provides simple provisioning of maniy VPN peers. It also easily supports dynamically addressed spoke routers by its design, if you use an appropriate peer authentication method, such as PKI-enabled peer authentication, The DMPVN enables you to configure a sinzle mGRE, tunnel interface and a single IPsec profile on the hub router to manage all spoke routers. Thus, the size of the configuration on the Hub router remBins constant even if you add more spoke routers to the network. The DMIVEN also allows IPsec to be immediately triggered to create point-to-point GRE tunnels without any IPsec peering configuration. Cisco IPsec VTI ‘The VII mode of an IPsec configuration simplifies a VPN configuration. There are two types of VII— static and dynamic. With VTI, you implement the IPsec session as an interface. Simple configuration and routing adjacency directly over the virtual interface are great benefits. But keep in mind that all traffic is encrypted and thet it supports, like standard IPsec, only one protocol ([Pvd or IPv6), The IPsec tunel protects the routing protocol and multicast traffic, like with GRE over IPsec. The only difference is that with ‘VII, you do not need GRE and the overhead that it brings. (conan Cisco SystemsWAN Devices Several types of devices are specific to WAN envire(@\nts, including CSUDSU devices, modems, and certain types of routers and switches, WAN Devices + Router: A router provides internetworking and WAN access interface ports that are used to connect to ‘the service provider network. These interfaces may be serial connections or other WAN interfaces. With some types of WAN interfaces, you need an extemal device such as a CSU/DSU or modem (analog, ‘cable, or DSI) to connect the router to the local POP of the service provider. + Core router: A core router resides within the middle or backbone of the WAN, rather than at its periphery. To full the role of the core router, a router must be able to support multiple ‘telecommunications interfaces of the highest speed in use in the WAN core. It must also be able to ‘forward IP packets at wire speed on al these interfaces. The router must support the routing protocols ‘that are being used in the core. + CPE: Devices on subscriber premises are referred to as CPE. A subscriber to a service provider owns ‘the CPE or leases the CPE from the service provider. A copper or fiber cable comnects the CPE to the nearest exchange or OO of the service provider. This cabling is often called the local loop or last mile. ‘CSUIDSU devices, DSL modems, and optical fiber converters are just three of many WAN connection ‘pes (Cisco Systems, Ine Intrconnectng isco Networking Devioes: Accelerated (CCNAWAN Devices (Cont.) ore) cayosu igtal cater tine tephone o Coma Cale) CSUMDSU: A CSUDSU is a device thatis used to connect DTE to a digital ciruit, suchas a TI carrier line. A device is considered DTE ifitis either a source or destination for digital data. Examples of DTE, include PCs, servers, and routers. In the figure, the router is considered DTE because it passes data to the CSUDSU, which will forward the data to the service provider. Although the CSUIDSU connects to the service provider infrastructure using a telephone or coaxial cable, such as a TI or El line, it connects to the router with a serial eable. A CSU:DSU is actually two devices in one box. The CSU provides termination forthe digital signal and ensures connection integrity through error correction and line monitoring. The DSU converts the T-carier line frames into frames that the LAN can interpret and vice versa. You can also implement a CSU/DSU as a module within a router, so that a serial cable is not necessary. A CSUDSU is sometimes referred to as DCE because it provides a path for communication. DCE is amore general label for devices that provide interfaces for DTE into communication links on the WAN cloud: When the links are digital, the DCE is 2 CSU-DSU. When analog telephone lines are used, the DCE is amodem. (isco Networking Davies:WAN Devices (Cont) Telephone Cobee + Modem: A modem is a device that interprets digital and analog signals, enabling data to be transmitted ‘over voice-grade telephone lines. At the source, digital signals are converted to 3 form that is suitable ‘for transmission over analog communication facilities. At the destination, these analog signals are xetumed to their digital form. There are various types of modems.

At one branch, the customer is running HDILC for the WAN protocol for the connection back to the corporate site. At the other branch, itis rmning PPPoE. You ‘wil be the primary technician forthe deployment. Would you like to go onsite now to complete the job or study the training before the deployment? Serial Point-to-Point Communication Links ‘A poluto-poit (or seria) communication ink provides sil, established WAN communication path from the customer premises through a carrier network to a remote network. ‘Serial Point-to-Point Communication Links Serial point-to-point links use leased lines to provide a dedicated connection. sence Pro —— —D won :‘When permanent dedicated connections are required, a point-to-point link is used to provide a pre- established WAN communications path from the customer premises through the provider network to a remote destination. A serial line can connect two geographically distant sites, such as a corporate office in ‘New York and 2 regional office in London. Point-to-point lines are usually leased from 2 carrier and are therefore often called leased lines. For a point-to-point line, the carrier dedicates fixed transport capacity and facility hardware to the line that the customer is leasing. However, the carrier will still se multiplexing teclologies within the network, Point-to-point links are usually more ekpensive than shared services such as Frame Relay. The cost of leased-line solutions can become significant if you use them to connect many sites over increasing distances. However, there are times when the benefits outweigh the cost ofthe leased line. The dedicated capacity removes latency or jitter between the endpoints. Constant availability is essential for some applications such as VolP or video over IP. ‘You need a router serial port for each leased-line connection, Ifthe underlying network is based on the ‘North American (T-care”) or European (Fcarzie) technologies, the leased line comects to the network of the carrer through CSU/DSU. The purpose of the CSU:DSU is to provide a clocking signal to the customer equipment interface ffom the DSU and terminate the chamnelized transport media of the carrier on the CSU. The CSU also provides diagnostic fimctions such as a loopback test. Most Tl or El TDM interfaces on current routers include approved CSU/DSU capabilities, Leased lines provide permanent dedicated capacity and are used extensively for building WANs. They have been the traditional choice of connection but have several disadvantages. Leased lines have a fixed capacity However, WAN traffic is often variable and leaves some of the capacity unused.

PPP also established a standard for the assignment and management of IP adiiresses, asynchronous (start and stop bit) and bit oriented synchronous encapsulation, network protocol multiplexing, link configuration, link quality testing, error detection, and option negotiation for such capabilities as network layer address, negotiation and data compression negotiation. PPP provides router-to-router and host-to-network comections over both synchronous and asynchronous cireuts. An example of an asynchrong)s conection is a dialup connection. An example of @ synchronous connection is a leased line. ‘There are many advantages to using PPP, including the fact that it is not proprietary. Moreover, it includes many features thet are not available in Cisco High-Level Data Link Control (Cisco HDLC), including the link-quality management feature.

Enter the global configuration mode, and use the configure terminal commend, 2. When in you are in the global configuration mode, enter the interface configuration mode. In this, ‘example, you would use the interface serial 0/0/0 command. ‘Ifa DOE cable is atached, use the clock rate Js interface configuration command to configure the ‘lock rate for the hardware connections on serial interfaces, such as network interface modules and ‘interface processors, to an accfptable bit rate. Be sue to enter the complete clock speed. For example, a ‘lock rate of 64,000 cannot be abbreviated to 64. On serial links, one side ofthe link acts as the DCE, ‘and the other side ofthe link acts as the DTE. By default, Cisco routers are DTE devices, but you can ‘configure them as DCE devices. In a "back-to-back" router configuration in which a modem is not used, ‘yoummst configure one ofthe interfaces as the DCE to provide a clocking signal. You must specify the ‘lock rate for each DCE interface that is configured inthis type of environment. The clock rates in bits per second are as follows: 1200; 2400: 4800; 9600; 19,200; 38,400; 56,000; 64,000; 72,000: 125,000; 148,000; 500,000; 800,000; 1,000,000; 1,300,000: 2,000,000; and 4,000,000.

The bandwidth Kips command overrides the defrult ‘bandwith that the show interfaces command displays. It is used by some routing protocols, such as EIGRP, for routing metric calculations. The router also uses the bandwidth for other types of ‘calculations, such as those calculations that are required for RSVP. The default bandwidth for serial ‘ines is the T1 speed (1 544 Mbps).

The lnk is activated only after the proper eredentials have been given and accepted. IF PPP authentication fails for any reason, access is denied and the lik is prompt terminated. Although you may configure proprietary authentication methods to work with PPP. the two main types of PPP authentication methods are PAP and CHAP. PAP is a two-way handshake that provides 2 simple method for a remote node to establish its identity. PAP is performed only upon initial link establishment, There sno encryption. The usemame and password are sent in plaintext. After the PPP link establishment phase is complete, the remote node repeatedly sends a username and password pair to the router until authentication is acknowledged or the connection is terminated.PAP is not a strong authentication protocol, but it may be adequate in environments that use token-type passwords that change with each authentication, PPP is not secure in most environments. Also, there is no from playback or repeated trial-and. ‘remote node is in control ofthe ffequency and timing of the login attempts. Configure PAP Authentication for PPP PAP authentication for PPP works in the following manner: Usemame HO Username Branch Password Ciscot23 Pasaword Ciscot23 Inthe example, the Branch router frst sends its PAP usemame and password to the HO router.

CHAP involves a three- ‘way exchange ofa shared secret. When authentication is established with PAP, it essentially stops working, ‘which leaves a network vulnerable to attacks. Unlike PAP, which only authenticates once, CHAP conducts periodic challenges to make sure thatthe remote node still has a valid password value. CHAP, which uses 2 ttyee-way handshake, occurs at the startup of ink and periodically thereafter to verify the identity ofthe remote node, ‘After the PPP link establishment phase is complete the local router sends 2 challenge message to the remote node. The remote node responds with a value that is calculated using a one-way hash fmction, typically D5, based on the password and challenge message. The local router checks the response azainst its own calculation of the expected hash value, the values match, the authentication is acknowledged. Otherwise, the comection is terminated immediately CHAP protects against a playback attack by using a variable challenge value that is unigue and unpredictable. Because the challenge is unique and random, the resulting hat value will also be unique and random. The use of repeated challenges is intended to limit exposure to any single attack. The local router ora third-party authentication server is in contol of the frequency and timing ofthe challenges. ‘Configure CHAP Authentication for PPP.

The MLP feature supports the fragmentation and packet-sequencinz specifications that are described in RFC 1990. Interconnectng Cisco Networking Devios: Accserted (CCNA) 2017 Cisco Systems, neMLP allows packets to be fragmented and fragments to be sent atthe same time over multiple point-to-point links to the same remote adress. Multiple links come up in response to a defined dialer load threshold. The load can be calculated on inbound or outbound traffic, as required, for the traffic between specific sites. MLP provides bandwidth on demand and reduces transmission latency across WAN links, MLP can work over synchronous and asynchronous serial types of single or multiple interfaces that have been configured to support both dial-on-demand rotary groups and PPP encapsulation. MLP combines multiple physical finks into a logical bundle that is called an MLP bundle. An MLP bundle isa single, virtual interface that connects to the peer system. Having a single interface (MLP bundle interface) provides a sinale point to apply hierarchical queueing. shaping, and policing to traffic flows. Individual links in a bundle do not perform any hierarchical queueing. None ofthe links have any Innowledge about the traffic om parallel links. Hierarchical queueing and QoS cannot be applied uniformly to the entire ageregate traffic between 2 system and its peer system. A single, virtual interface also simplifies the task of monitoring traffic to the peer system (for example, all traffic statistics rum on one interface). MLP works with fully functional PPP interfaces. An MLP bundle can have multiple links connecting peer devices. These links can be serial links or broadband links (Ethemet or ATM). As long as each link behewes like a standard serial interface, mixed links work properly in a bundle ‘The MLP over serial interfaces feature enables you to bundle interfaces into a single, logical connection called an MLP bundle. This feature also provides the following imctionalities: + Load balancing: MLP provides bandwidth on demand and uses load balancing across all member links ‘ap to ten) to transmit packets and packet fragments. MLP mechanisms calculate the load on inbound or ‘outbound trafic between specific sites, Because MLP splits packets and fragments across all member ‘inks during transmission, MLP reduces transmission latency across WAN links, Ideally, all member ‘inks ina bundle would be ofthe same bandwidth (for example, Ts). Load balancing and ‘fragmentation and interleaving also allow for a mix of unequal cost member links for situations where a ‘suall increment in the bundle bandwidth is required. + Increased redundaney: MLP allows traffic to flow over remaining member lines when 2 port fails. ‘When you configure an MLP bundle that consists of T! lines from more than one line card and if one ‘ine card stops operating, a part of the bundle on other line cards continues to operate. + Link fragmentation and interleaving: The MLP fagmenting mechanism fregments large, nonreal- ‘time packets and sends fragments at the same time over multiple point-to-point links to the same remote address. Smaller, real-time packets remain intact. The MLP interleaving mechanism sends real-time packets betveen fragntents of nonreal-time packets, thus reducing real-time packet delay.

The figure shows a typical network topology for PPPoE client deployment PPPOE is 2 commonly used application in a DSL deployment. The PPPOE client feature expands the PPPoE functionality by providing support for PPPoE on both the client and the server. ISPs often provide their customers with a DSL modem that has one Ethemet interface to comnect to the customer Fthemet segment, and another interface for DSL line connectivity. ATM is typically rm between the customer modem and the DSLAM Tn such acase, the DSL modem acts as abridge only when the CPE isnot configurable for any IP connectivity or enhanced features over DSL. This situation limits your connectivity to only one PPPoE client PC. With the addition of a Ciseo 10S router that connects tothe Ethemet of the DSL modem, you can run the PPPoE client IOS feature on the Cisco router. This way, you can connect multiple PCs on the Ethemet segment that is connected to the Cisco 10S router. With the use of the Cisco 108 router, you can enhance your DSL connectivities and all IOS features, such as Security, NAT. and DHCP to internal hosts ‘The PPPoE client initiates a PPPoE session. Ifthe session has a timeout or is disconnected, the PPPoE client ‘will immediately attempt to reestablish the session. The following four steps describe the exchange of packets that occurs when a PPPoE client initiates a PPPoE session: 1, The client broadeaste a PADI packet 2. When the access concentrator receives a PADI that it can serve, itreplies by sending 2 PADO packet to the client (isco Networking Davies:3. Because the PADI was broaclcast, the host may receive more than one PADO packet. The host looks ‘through the PADO packets that itreceives and chooses one. The choice can be based on the arcess ‘concentrator name or on the services that ae offered. The host then sends a single PADR. packet tothe ‘access concentrator that it has chosen, 4. The access concentrator responds to the PADR by sending aPADS packet. At this point, a virtual access interface is created that will ten negotiate the PPP, and the PPPOE session will run on this, ‘virtual access Ifa client does not receive a PADO for a preceding PADI, the client sends out a PADI at predetermined intervals. That interval length is doubled for every successive PADI that does not evoke a response, until the interval reaches a configured maximum. If PPP negotiation fails or the PPP line protocol is brought down for any reason, the PPPOE session and the virtual access will be brought down. When the PPPoE session is brought down, the client waits for a predetermined number of seconds before trying again to establish a PEPOE. Configure a Dialer Interface on a PPPoE Client Configure a Dialer Interface on a PPPoE Client ‘To configure a dialer interface on a PPPOE client, perform the following actions: Define a dialer interface. ‘Specify that the IP address for the dialer interface is obtained via PPP/IPCP address negotiation. ‘Set the encapsulation mode to PPP.Configure a Dialer Interface on a PPPoE Client (Cont.) ‘Specify the dialing poo! that the dialer interface uses to connect to a ‘specific destination subnetwork. ‘The PPPoE client configuration is relatively simple.

Because the comnection is over the Intemet ‘and running 2 routing protocol, CCS has determined thatthe customer needs a GRE tunnel. You are the technician Who is assigned to do the deployment and you need to know how to establish a GRE tunnel and ‘verify its proper operation. Would you like to go onsite now to complete the job or would you like to finish the traning? GRE Tunnel Overview Generic Routing Encapsulation, also known as GRE, is a tmeling protocol which provides a secure path for transporting packets over a public network by encapsulating packets inside a transport protocol. GRE supports multiple Layer 3 protocols such as IP, [PX, and AppleTalk. It also enables the use of multicast routing protocols across the tunnel. GRE adds a 20-byte IP header and a 4-byte GRE header, hiding the existing packet headers. The GRE header contains 2 flag field and a protocol type field to identify the Layer 3 protocol being transported. It may contain a tunnel checksum, tunnel key, and tunnel sequence number. GRE does not encrypt traffic or use any strong security meanures to protect the traffic. GRE can be used along with IPsec to provide data source authentication and data confidentiality and ensure data integrity. GRE over IPsec tumels are typically comfigured in a hub-and-spoke topology over anGRE Tunnel Overview The following are the main GRE characteristics: + GRE is one of many tunneling protocols. + IP protocol 47 dofines GRE packets, + Itallows routing information to pass between connected networks, * No eneryption is used.

Interdomain Routing ‘The Intemet is a collection of autonomous systems that are interconnected to allow communication between them, An autonomous system is by definition a collection of networks under a single technical administration domain, EGP provides the routing between these autonomous systems.

ISPs exchange routes with other ISPs ‘Scalable Secure ‘Supports routing policies BGP uses TCP as the transport mechanism, which provides reliable commection-oriented delivery. BGP uses TCP port 179. Two routers that are using BGP form a TCP connection with one another. These two BGP routers are called peer routers, or neighbors, When BGP is ruming between routers in different autonomous systems, it is called EBGP. When BGP is running between routers inthe same autonomous system, it 8 called IGP. IBGP is used between routers in the same autonomous system mostly for redundancy and load-balancing purposes, Different customers are using EBGP for route exchanges between their local environments and their ISPs. The IANA is responsible for the global coordination and assignment of AS numbers and public IP addresses (usualy through a local ISP). Each customer has to place a request for an AS number and a set of public space IP prefixes. The customer then establishes an EBGP session with its ISP and they exchange routing information ISPs are also interconnected, Each ISP has its owm AS number. ISPs can communicate directly or they can use IXP for route distribution ‘The Intemet is expanding with high speed and the size of all outing information is extremely large. In 2015, more than $70,000 routes exist in a fall BGP table, and the number of routes is still expanding ‘Therefore, scalbility isa very important feature of BGP. BGP enables reliable information exchange and is capable of batching the routing updates. These two characteristics allow BGP to-scale to large, Intemet- sized networks. BGP also has security features. You can configure peer authentication and route filtering. For more advanced networks, BGP also provides routing policies for route update manipulationsDiscovery 51: Configure and Verify Single-Homed EBGP Introduction In this discovery, you will leam how to configure extemal BGP between the service provider and customer. ‘The service provider (ISP!) has two different customers (Ri and R2).

This area is where SNMP can help. SNMP was introduced to meet the growing need fora standard of managing IP devices. SNMP exposes the environment and pe}formance parameters of a network device, allowing an NMS to collect and process data. SNMP Overview ‘SNMP is a management protocol mono that supports message exchange: | + SNMP manager: Polls agents on the network and displays information, ===, + SNMP agent: Siores information ‘and responds to manager requests, It generates traps, — "You can set thresholds to tigger iteaion procoas when they fare exceeded. MIB: Contains a database of ‘objects (information variables), ‘SNMP is an application layer protocol that defines how SNMP managers and SNMP agents exchange ‘management information. SNMP uses the UDP transport mechanism to retrieve and send management information, such as MIB variables. SNMP is broken down into these three components: + SNMP manager: Periodically polls the SNMP agents on managed devices by querying the device for data, The SNMP manager can be part of an NMS such as Cisco Prime Infrastructure. + SNMP agent: Runs directly on managed devices, collects device information, and translates it info a compatible SNMP format according to the MIB. + MIB: Represents a virtual information storage location that contains collections of managed objects. ‘Within the MIB, there are objects that relate fo different defined MIB modules (for example, the interface module). 12 Interconnectng isco Networking Davies: Acca 1d (CONAN 2017 Cisco Systems, neRouters and other network devices keep statistics about the information of their processes and interfaces locally. SNMP ona device nuns a special process that is called an agemt. This agent can be queried, using SNMP. SNMP is typically used to gather environment and performance data such as device CPU usage, memory usage, interface traffic, inferface error rate, and so on. By periodically querying or “polling” the SNMP agent on a device, an NMS can gather or collet statistics over time. The NMS polls devices periodically to obtain the values of the MIB objects that it is setup to collect. It then offers a look into historical data and anticipated trends. Based on SNMP values, NMS triggers alarms to notify network operators. | To obtain information from the MIB on the SNMP agent, you can use several different operations: ‘+ Get: This operation is used to get information from the MIB to an SNMP agent + Get-next: This operation is used to get the next object from the MIB to an SNMP agent. + Get-bulk: This operation allows a management application to retrieve a large section of a table at once, + Sets This operation is used to get information to the MIB from an SNMP manager. + Trap: This operation is used by the SNMP agent to send a triggered piece of information to the SNMP manager + Inform: This operation is the same as a trap, but it adds an acknowledgment that a trap does not provide. SNMP Versions ‘New fimetionalities have been added to SNMP. There are currently three versions of SNMP, SNMP Versions ‘SNM Planted avmentcaton th No onan erage ‘sume Panto athetcalon mth Yee ‘oneneniy mg umes ‘Seong matenscaten, Yar content, ar negity 17 Cisco Systems, Inc Intrconnectng Cisco ring Devices Aosslaratad (CCNAX) 119‘The following list describes the different versions of SNP. + SNMP version 1: SNMPv is the initial version of SNMP. SNMPv1 security is based on communities that are nothing more than passwords: plaintext strings that allow any SNMP-based application thet [now the strings to gain aoceas to the management information of a davice. There are typically three communities in SNMPv'I: reacLonly, read-write, and trap, A key security flaw in SNMPv! is thatthe only authentication available is through @ community string. ‘Anyone who knows the community string is allowed access. Adding to this problem is the fact that all SNMPv1 packets pass across the nbtwork unencrypted. Therefore, anyone wito can sniffa single SNMP packet now has the community string thet is needed to get access + SNMP version 2c: SNMPv? was the first attempt to fix SNMPv'I security laws. However, SNMPv2 never really took off. The only prevalent version of SNMPv2 today is SNMP 2c, which contains SNMP\2 protocol enhancements but leaves out the security features that no one could agree on. The "c" designates v2c as being "community based," which means thet it uses the same authentication mechanism as vl—community strings + SNMP version 3: SNMPv’ is the latest version. Itadds support for strong authentication and private communication between managed entities. You can define 2 secure policy for each group, and optionally you can limit the IP addresses to which its members can belong. You have to define encryption and hashing algonthms and passwords for each user. The key security additions to SNMPv3 areas follows: ~ Can use MDS or SHA hashes for authentication ~ Can encrypt the entire packet Can guarantee message integrity SNMPV3 introduces three levels of security: + noAuthNoPriv: No authentication is required, and no privacy (encryption) is provided. + anthNoPriv: Authentication is required, but no encryption is provided. + authPriv: In addition to authentication, encryption is also used. Note Neither SNMPW nor SNMFVZe ofer secunityfestures. Specifealy, SNFv1 and SNNFV2e can neither _alihantioate the source of a management message ner provide encryption.

He is really busy this week, so_he would like you to explain to one of the customers what switch stacking is and also discuss its benefits. Bob also informs you that the manager heard that intelligent networks are becoming increasingly popular, so the customer is ‘wondering if you can use them in the corporate networks. Bob asks you sit down with the manager and explain what an intelligent network really means—including cloud computing, “You can decide when during ths week you will nish thee two taske—you can either doit today, or you ccan first do some research about the topics. Switch Stacking A typical switch topology on the access and the distribution layers has two (or more) access switches that are placed next to each otter in the same rack in order to provide enough access ports forall network. devices. Each access switch has two redundant comections to each of the distribution switches. This topology introduces certain ovethead in terms of management, resiliency, and performance. The Cisco StackWise technology is typically used to unite access suitches that are mounted in the same rack, Multiple switches are used to provide enough access ports. The stack, which consists of up to nine switches, is managed as a single unit, reducing the mumber of units you have to manage in your network, All switches in the tack share configuration and routing information, creating a single switching wait.

The network topology and routing information are updated continuously through the stack interconnect. All stack members have full access to the stack interconnect bandwidth. A master switch manages the stack as a single unit. The master switch is elected from one ofthe stack member switches. You can join up to nine separate switches. Each stack of switches has a single IP adress and is managed 2s a single object. This single IP management applies to activities such as fault detection, VLAN creation and modification, security, and QoS controls.
