Troubleshooting and When Not to Use BGP

Compare and contrast idle state and active state troubleshooting.

Examine potential causes of each, and explain the manner in which you would reach an established state. Provide a rationale for your response.

Describe one (1) real-life situation in which a manager should not use BGP.

Document two (2) ways that managers can anticipate when not to use BGP other than conducting an assessment post-implementation.

Examine the major concerns that may prevent managers from making decisions regarding when or when not to use BGP.

Security Threats

Ascertain the manner in which authentication servers, onetime passwords (OTP), and logging are used to minimize security threats in campus-wide network architecture.

Determine if these security elements should be located in the server farm, the campus core, the building distribution, or the building access areas. Explain your rationale.

On networks using trunking protocols, there is a possibility of rogue traffic hopping from one VLAN to another, thereby creating security vulnerabilities according to the text.

Identify the most detrimental vulnerabilities that a VLAN hopping attack may expose, and suggest the way in which you would mitigate such an attack. In your response, include key mitigation strategies for VLAN hopping with double tagging.
