In the high tech world of business today, staying on top of the latest software advancements is of continuous importance to individuals who wish to succeed. Microsoft dominates the industry when it comes to desktop and server software applications, which is why keeping up to date on the latest Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) certifications is crucial. Professionals in all areas of business practices will benefit from the various MCSE training programmes that are available, and can use these certifications to command higher salaries, advance their positions, or even start new careers.

Hiring managers and IT professionals understand the extremely high level of discipline and knowledge required to obtain the MCSE certification, and do recognize the achievement of their candidates or employees. One might acquire the skills and knowledge they need on the job, but unless they are backed by an official certification these attributes mean very little when seeking a new job or promotion. Employers want to fill their open positions with candidates they know already possess the skills required to perform their jobs, and not with people who claim they have the knowledge but later prove themselves to be untrained. An applicant with completion and certification in a MCSE training programme will stand out over those without, and will have an edge on landing the job because they have proof to back up their skills.

Because wireless networks can be accessed by anyone with a compatible wireless network adapter, most models of wireless network adapters and WAPs provide for encryption options. Some devices with this feature enable you to set a security code known as an SSID on the wireless devices on your network. This seven-digit code prevents unauthorized users from accessing your network and acts as an additional layer of security along with your normal network authentication methods, such as user passwords. Other wireless network adapters and WAPs use a list of authorized MAC numbers to limit access to authorized devices only.

All Wi-Fi products support at least 40-bit encryption through the wired equivalent privacy (WEP) specification, but the minimum standard on newer products is 64-bit WEP encryption. Many vendors also offer 128-bit or 256-bit encryption on some of their products. However, the WEP specification is insecure. It is vulnerable to brute-force attacks at shorter key lengths, and it is also vulnerable to differential cryptanalysis attacks, which is the process of comparing an encrypted text with a known portion of the plain text and deriving the key by computing the difference between them. Because WEP encrypts TCP headers, hackers know what the headers should contain in many cases, and they can attempt to find patterns in a large body of collected WEP communications in order to decrypt the key. The attack is complex and difficult to automate, so it is unlikely to occur for most networks, especially at key lengths greater than 128 bits. Furthermore, WEP does not prevent an intruder from attaching a hidden WAP on the network and using it to exploit the network.

This article will cover a few points that you will be tested for the CCNA regarding the configuration of basic Cisco IOS router operation. IOS (Internetwork Operating System) is the software operating system running on most Cisco network devices, including switches and routers. To configure any Cisco network device you need to master the Cisco IOS Configuration Commands and use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to configure and troubleshoot a Cisco device.

How to connect to a Router in order to Configure it:

You can connect to a Cisco IOS Router either directly or remotely. For the first time when the device is not configured yet, you usually connect directly with a console cable via the CON port or remotely by dialing into a modem connected to the AUX port. These are called “out-of-band” connection methods. After you configure the router and assign IP addresses to its interfaces, you can connect to the router from the network with an “in-band” connection method using Telnet or SSH.
