Hi Guys,

 

Can you clarify the answer #1?

 

Cause I've just tested the scenario and found out the followings:

WEP works with "encryption vlan 12 mode ciphers wep40" command. Output
of the "show dot11 ass all" actually shows that WEP is currently used.
As per Cisco command reference guide, "encryption mode wep" is a kind of
old or legacy command which can be used for clients which are not
supporting key management and cisco recommends to use "encryption mode
ciphers"instead. Hence we should not use these two commands together and
as per my understanding we can use both in that case. Am I right?

P.S. shared authentication depends on the ssid's configuration
(authentication shared) and not on the radio interface configuration I
think.

My responses are inline below.  Very good observations.  With the
updates made, the latest version number for the CCIEW Workbook Vol 1 DSG
will be v2947 (as seen in the footer of the doc.)  Give it a bit of time
for that to be posted, as the doc needs to be properly reformatted,
converted to PDF, etc by the support team.

Hi guys.

Making the tasks about the lab 3 I have some doubts about the solution
done.

Point 3.2: For the configuration of SSID Test2 on AAP2: "The least
version of WEP encryption, using a key of...."; if you are talking about
the "wep encryption" Why don't also use the command" encryption vlan
Test2 mode wep mandatory"? because if not, you only pass a passphrasse
to "authenticate" but your traffic without this command is not cipher
with WEP. 

 

***  Yes, it does require "mode wep mandatory" command.  I have updated
the DSG to reflect that.

*** Also, in looking at that, I noticed that SSID Test3 was also
partially incorrect in the DSG.  It should have the "optional" keyword
after "authentication open" and before "eap eap_methods."  Without that
keyword, the AP will attempt to use AAA instead of simply using the WEP
key.

 

        Point 3.2: For the configuration of SSID Test6 on AAP1: "Use the
highest encryption level allowed for CCKM for the version of software on
the AP". In the SSID configuration, Why not "authentication
key-management wpa cckm"?. If you are using the "highest" (aes in this
case) and CCKM I think this is correct, unless the meaning of this
command is allow both WPA and CCKM key-management allowing non CCKM
clients to connect . Is this OK?

*** There is no requirement for WPA listed.  WPA and CCKM are different
key-management methods, with CCKM adding the creation of a Base
Transient Key (BTK) to WPA (simplified version.)  For the encryption
piece, CCKM on 12.3(8)JE(X) as listed in the equipment list does support
AES as a cipher.  Normally, CCKM is listed with TKIP, because older
versions of the 7921G required CCKM wth TKIP for fast, secure roaming.

 

        Point 3.6: "On AAP2, only permit the laptop to connect". if you
use in int d0 "l2-filter bridge-group-acl" and apply in all the
sub-interfaces the command "bridge-group xx input-address-list 700" you
should apply the same commands to 5Ghz radio, because is only applied to
the sub.interfaces but not in "d1" interface (I'm assume this is a
mistake).

 

*** Yes, that was previously corrected.  Please check with our support
team if the latest version available under your account does not have
that correction.

 

         
        Thanks.
        
        Best Regards.
