• Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable
> In this network we will use CAT5 and CAT6 patch. These closets should be used in the server room of the location at Atlanta location and we shall also create one at the Cincinati location due to the big number of hanging wires that we shall use.
>Wireless networks are much more susceptible to unauthorized use than cabled networks. We should encrypt the network by putting a password to keep out unauthorized access that may lead to network attacks. Using passwords and assigning privilege levels is a simple way of providing terminal access control in any network. To provide an additional layer of security, particularly for passwords that cross …show more content…
Not every user should have access to your network. To protect yourself from potential attacks, you need to recognize each user and each device. Then you can enforce your security policies. You can also block out the noncompliant end-point devices or provide them with limited access. This process is referred to as network access control (NAC). Some password recovery requires that a terminal issue a Break signal; we must be familiar with how your terminal or PC terminal emulator issues this signal. For example, in ProComm, the keys Alt-B by default generates the Break signal, and in a Windows terminal you press Break or CTRL-Break. A Windows terminal also allows you to define a function key as a BREAK signal. To do so, select function keys from the Terminal window and define one as Break by entering the characters ^$B (Shift 6, Shift 4, and uppercase
