Discussion 7

"Troubleshooting and When Not to Use BGP"  Please respond to the following:

• 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" Please respond to the following:

• 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.
