CCNP BCMSN Notes – Wireless LAN Overview
Monday, November 9th, 2009Frame Transmission Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) is used in 802.11 WLANs to avoid collisions. The Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) handles the transmission of frames. If one station is currently transmitting, a station wishing to transmit must wait for the current station to finish plus the length of the DCF Inter-frame Space (DIFS) and […]
CCNP BCMSN Notes – Securing with VLANs
Monday, November 9th, 2009VLAN Access Lists (VACLs) VACLs can filter traffic within a VLAN and do not require a routed interface. A VACL can match traffic from a MAC, IP, or IPX access list. VACL configuration:

CiscoPress – Traffic Engineering with MPLS
Saturday, November 7th, 2009Almost every busy network backbone has some congested links while others remain underutilized. That’s because shortest-path routing protocols send traffic down the path that is shortest without considering other network parameters, such as utilization and traffic demands. Using Traffic Engineering (TE), network operators can redistribute packet flows to attain more uniform distribution across all links. […]

Configuring a Router to Support SDM
Thursday, November 5th, 2009Cisco SDM (Security Device Manager) is a web based management tool that works with the Cisco IOS to aid in the configuration and management of Cisco routers. The GUI (Graphical User Interface) allows engineers with little experience to configure Cisco routers, and stage large deployments. SDM is also powerful enough to help experienced engineers efficiently […]
