The WPS push button (center, blue) on a wireless router showing the symbol defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance for this function. Wi-Fi Protected Setup ( WPS) originally, Wi-Fi Simple Config, is a network security standard to create a secure wireless home network . Created by Cisco and introduced in 2006, the purpose of the protocol is to allow home ...
A VLAN access control list (VACL) provides access control for all packets that are bridged within a VLAN or that are routed into or out of a VLAN. Unlike regular Cisco IOS access control lists that are configured on router interfaces and applied on routed packets only, VACLs apply to all packets. The technology was developed by Cisco on the ...
Access-control list. In computer security, an access-control list ( ACL) is a list of permissions [ a] associated with a system resource (object or facility). An ACL specifies which users or system processes are granted access to resources, as well as what operations are allowed on given resources. [ 1] Each entry in a typical ACL specifies a ...
Zero-configuration networking. Zero-configuration networking ( zeroconf) is a set of technologies that automatically creates a usable computer network based on the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) when computers or network peripherals are interconnected. It does not require manual operator intervention or special configuration servers.
In computer networking, Point-to-Point Protocol ( PPP) is a data link layer (layer 2) communication protocol between two routers directly without any host or any other networking in between. [ 1] It can provide loop detection, authentication, transmission encryption, [ 2] and data compression . PPP is used over many types of physical networks ...
In computer networking, a routing table, or routing information base ( RIB ), is a data table stored in a router or a network host that lists the routes to particular network destinations, and in some cases, metrics (distances) associated with those routes. The routing table contains information about the topology of the network immediately ...
The Cisco 2500 series routers are a series of 19" rack mount access routers typically used to connect Ethernet or Token Ring networks via ISDN or leased serial connections (i.e. Frame Relay, T1 etc.). The routers are based on a Motorola 68EC030 CISC processor. [1] This line of routers is no longer sold or supported by Cisco Systems. [2]
Network Admission Control ( NAC) refers to Cisco 's version of Network Access Control, which restricts access to the network based on identity or security posture. When a network device ( switch, router, wireless access point, DHCP server, etc.) is configured for NAC, it can force user or machine authentication prior to granting access to the ...
