#Day11learningchallengeA wireless network is a computer network that uses wireless data connections between network nodes. Wireless networking allows homes, telecommunications networks and business installations to avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations.Wireless network security is a subset of network security that involves designing, implementing, and ensuring security on wireless computer networks to protect them from unauthorized access and breaches. It involves strategies designed to preserve the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of wireless networks and their resources.Types of Wireless Network Security Protocols1. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)WEP developed in 1997, was designed to secure wireless networks using encryption and access restriction. However, its reliance on the insecure RC4 encryption and shared key authentication made networks vulnerable to attack.2. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)WPA, launched in 2003, emerged as an effective successor to WEP, addressing its flaws. WPA uses the temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP) encryption to improve key management and integrity checks. It has two modes: WPA-Personal for home networks and WPA-Enterprise for enterprises that use RADIUS servers. WPA’s 128-bit encryption provides enhanced protection over WEP’s weaker encryption standards. 3. Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2)WPA2, released in 2004, is the most popular wireless security standard that uses the AES encryption technique to provide strong security. Its advantages over WPA include better administration and lower vulnerability to assaults. WPA2 is widely adopted as the industry standard, ensuring device interoperability. 4. Wi-Fi Protected Access III (WPA3)WPA3, launched in 2018, provides greater encryption, protection against dictionary brute force attacks, and simpler device configuration via Wi-Fi Easy Connect. WPA3 comes in three types: WPA3-Personal for home use, WPA3-Enterprise for organizational settings, and Wi-Fi Enhanced Open for non-password-protected networks. How to secure Wi-Fi Networks1. Use encryption methods2.Activate the router firewall3. Protect your service set identifier (SSID)4. Utilize virtual private networks (VPNs). 5.

    #Day14learningChallengeThis about reviewing all the previous topics learnt and practising configurations in Cisco Packet Tracer. And I did that. I only tool online quizzes to access my knowledge on what I have learnt so far. CyberPatron Network #Learning#Networking

    #Day13LearningChallengeThe challenge is learning about DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client/server protocol that automatically provides an Internet Protocol (IP) host with its IP address and other related configuration information such as the subnet mask and default gateway. Benefits of DHCP* Centralized management of IP addresses.* Centralized and automated TCP/IP configuration.* Ease of adding new clients to a network.*Reuse of IP addresses reduces the total number of IP addresses that are required.* Simple reconfiguration of the IP address space on the DHCP server without needing to reconfigure each client.* The DHCP protocol gives the network administrator a method to configure the network from a centralized area. I also learnt about the DHCP handshake which include Discover, Offer, Request and Acknowledge. I also learnt about the configuration of DHCP server using the Cisco Packet Tracer.

    #Day12LearningChallengeVLAN is a custom network which is created from one or more local area networks. It enables a group of devices available in multiple networks to be combined into one logical network. The result becomes a virtual LAN that is administered like a physical LAN. How VLAN worksVLANs in networking are identified by a number.A Valid range is 1-4094. On a VLAN switch, you assign ports with the proper VLAN number.The switch then allows data which needs to be sent between various ports having the same VLAN.Since almost all networks are larger than a single switch, there should be a way to send traffic between two switches.One simple and easy way to do this is to assign a port on each network switch with a VLAN and run a cable between them.VLAN RangesHere are the important ranges of VLAN:VLAN 0-4095: Reserved VLAN, which cannot be seen or used.VLAN 1:This is a default VLAN of switches. You cannot delete or edit this VLAN, but it can be used.VLAN 2-1001:It is a normal VLAN range. You can create, edit, and delete it.VLAN 1002-1005:These ranges are CISCO defaults for token rings and FDDI. You cannot delete this VLAN.VLAN 1006-4094:It is an extended range of VLANs.Types of VLAN1. Port-Based VLANPort-based VLANs groups virtual local area network by port. In this type of virtual LAN, a switch port can be configured manually to a member of VLAN. Devices that are connected to this port will belong to the same broadcast domain that is because all other ports are configured with a similar VLAN number. The challenge of this type of network is to know which ports are appropriate to each VLAN. 2. Protocol Based VLANThis type of VLAN processes traffic based on a protocol that can be used to define filtering criteria for tags, which are untagged packets. In this Virtual Local Area Network, the layer-3 protocol is carried by the frame to determine VLAN membership. It works in multi-protocol environments. This method is not practical in a predominately IP based network.3. MAC Based VLANMAC Based VLAN allows incoming untagged packets to be assigned virtual LAN and, thereby, classify traffic depending on the packet source address. You define a Mac address to VLAN mapping by configuring mapping the entry in MAC to the VLAN table.This entry is specified using source Mac address proper VLAN ID. The configurations of tables are shared among all device ports.Application/Purpose of VLANVLAN is used when you have 200+ devices on your LAN.It is helpful when you have a lot of traffic on a LAN.VLAN is ideal when a group of users need more security or being slow down by many broadcasts.It is used when users are not on one broadcast domain.Make a single switch into multiple switches.CyberPatron Network #learning#Networking

    #Day10learningChallengeThe challenge is learning how to configure a switch using Cisco Packet Tracer. I learnt the command for configuring the switch and I successful configure the switch and connected four PCs to the switch. I enjoyed learning new things everyday. The learning challenge has improved my knowledge in networking. CyberPatron Network #Learning#Networking

    #Day9learningChallengeI learnt about the commands and configuration of router using Cisco Packet Tracer. I connected a router to two PCs and I assigned IP addresses to each PC. I selected the router and choose CLI (Command Line Interface) to do type in the commads for the configuration. Upon successful connection, the arrow color will change from red to green.
