G-2 System Administrator's Guide
Cisco Systems® introduced this authentication protocol and provides mutual
authentication with unique WEP keys for each user. New keys are issued based on a
time limit. Changing the WEP key time limits provides additional security.
A printer protocol that uses TCP/IP to establish connections between printers on a
network. Also known as Line Printer Daemon/Line Printer Remote.
A hardware address (6-byte) that uniquely identifies each node of a network. The MAC
address is set during manufacturing and does not change. Also, two Network Interface
Cards (NIC) will not have the same value.
The Microsoft® version of CHAP. It is a three-way handshake protocol that is more
secure than PAP.
It provides mutual authentication between devices.
An adapter (board or card) that can be inserted into a device, so the device can be
connected to a network.
The NIC converts data from the device into the form transmitted or received from the
network
A processing location on a network. The location can be a workstation, computer, or
printer. Each Node has a unique MAC address.
This allows any device to authenticate and then attempt to communicate with the
access point. Any wireless device can authenticate with the access point, but if WEP is
used, the device can communicate only if its WEP keys match the access point's.
There is no challenge that occurs, you either have the correct key or not when you
communicate with the access point. By eliminating the challenge process, it actually
makes this more secure than shared key authentication.
A simple authentication protocol used with PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol). It is a plain
text password system, which is not very secure.
The location of a particular file or directory that includes the full path to the needed
filename or directory. This is a combination of path and filename.
Authenticates clients into a network using only server-side certificates, which makes
implementing and administering a wireless LAN easier.
A way to determine if a device is accessible. It sends a packet to the specified address
and waits for a reply.
This is the way two devices transmit data between each other, including error checking,
data compression, and how messages start and end.
Authentication mode of WPA used in SOHO environments. The key value (or pass-
phrase) is used for network authentication only (not data encryption). It does not use a
RADIUS server like the other modes, but uses a shared key to provide the initial
authentication with the access point or host.
This is an authentication server, such as the Cisco® ACS, Microsoft® IAS, etc.
One of the available boot methods. The device sends an RARP request and the RARP
server responds with an IP address. The device knows its MAC address and the server
responds with the IP address for it.
The file or directory location on the user's system relative to the user's current location
on the system (what directory the user is currently in). For example, c:\\program files\
monarch softw are\mpcl toolbox\9460.phu
Any device that forwards data along networks. Routers are located at gateways.
The access point sends an unencrypted challenge text string to any device attempting
to communicate with it.
The device requesting authentication encrypts the challenge text and sends it back to
the access point. If the challenge text is encrypted correctly, the access point allows
the requesting device to authenticate. Both the unencrypted challenge and the
encrypted challenge can be monitored; however, this leaves the access point open to
attack. Because of this weakness, shared key authentication can be less secure than
open authentication.
