        • Vulnerability scanning
        • Penetration testing
  • Review how TCP closes connections
    • Sends FIN
  • Security:
    • Review smurf attack
    • Encryption:
      • Review asymmetric encryption
        • What are two examples of asymmetric encryption?
          • Elliptic Curve Cryptography
          • Rivest-Shamir-Adleman
  • Wireless:
    • WPS is used for what purpose?
      • Automatically configures a wireless device to connect to a WAP
  • Ethernet standards:
    • Review what the letters mean at the end of the designation:
      • 10GBaseSW: S stands for short-range and W stands for WAN
      • 10GBaseSR: S stands for short-range and R means it works with existing Ethernet standards.
      • Does L stand for long-range?
    • 1000BaseSX:
      • supports runs of up to 500 m over MMF.
      • Doesn’t support 10km runs.
      • Remember S stands for short-range
    • 1000BaseLX:
      • Runs MMF and has maximum length of 550 meters
    • What networking technology is also known as Fast Ethernet?
      • 100Base_XY_
      • Anything with 100 in it is good for Fast Ethernet
    • Gigabit Ethernet standards
      • 1000Base-CX
        • uses copper cabling and is limited to 25 meters
  • Port forwarding allows outside access to hosts on the LAN side of the NAT router.
  • Fiber-optic:
    • Review multi-modal distortion
  • Protocol analyzers:
    • Wireshark:
      • Protocol analyzers can’t generate packets and frames. Can only capture and display them.

      • PDU’s
      • The commands and responses passed between SNMP managers and devices are sent as protocol data units (PDU).
      • Review SNMP
      • Review PDU
  • Review HA
    • Common techniques to acheive HA are?
      • Install RAID
