Cards

Term

Remote networking

Definition
_____ is a type of networking that enables users who are not at their physical locations to access network resources.
Term

remote desktop

Definition
A _____ is a connection mode that enables users to access any network system from their workstation and perform tasks on the remote system as if they were working locally. Remote desktop control uses a special software package that enables a remote client to control a host computer on the network, or run applications from a server.
Term

Remote Access

Definition
_____ is a feature that allows an administrator to access client systems from any location on the network.
Term

Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS)

Definition
____ is a protocol that enables a server to provide standardized, centralized authentication for remote users.
Term

remote access protocol

Definition
A ____ enables a user to access a remote access server and transfer data. Remote access protocols can provide direct dial-in connections via modems, or they can provide connections via ISPs and the Internet.
Term

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)

Definition
The _____ is a remote networking protocol that works on the Data Link layer of the TCP/IP protocol suite. It is used to send IP datagrams over serial point-to-point links. It is used by clients to connect to networks and the Internet. It also provides encryption for passwords, paving the way for secure authentication of remote users.
Term

PPPoE

Definition
____ is a standard that provides the features and functionality of PPP to DSL connections that use Ethernet to transfer signals from a carrier to a client.
Term

EAP

Definition
____ is a protocol which is an extension of PPP and provides support for additional authentication methods, such as tokens, smart cards, and certificates.
Term

PEAP

Definition
____ is a protocol that secures EAP by creating an encrypted channel between a remote client and a server. It can also be used with Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol v2 (MS-CHAPv2) to strengthen the protocol's password authentication.
Term

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

Definition
A ____ is a private network that is configured by tunneling through a public network such as the Internet. Because tunneling is used to encapsulate and encrypt data, it ensures that connections between endpoints, such as routers, clients, and servers are secure.
Term

Secure Socket Layer VPN (SSL VPN)

Definition
A _____ is a VPN format that works with a web browser. Ensures that a connection can only be made by using HTTPS instead of HTTP.
Term

tunnel

Definition
A ____ is a logical path through the network that appears like a point-to-point connection.
Term

Tunneling

Definition
____ enables data from one network to pass from one endpoint of a tunnel to the other through the infrastructure of another network.
Term

Access VPNs

Definition
____ provides remote access to single users via dial-up, ISDN, xDSL, or cable modem connections.
Term

Intranet VPNs

Definition
____ connects sections of a network, such as remote offices tying into a corporate headquarters.
Term

Extranet VPNs

Definition
____ connects networks belonging to different companies for the purposes of sharing resources.
Term

IPSec

Definition
____ in Tunnel mode is often used with Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP). Can be used on its own to provide both tunneling and encryption of data.
Term

VPN concentrator

Definition
A ____ is a device that incorporates advanced encryption and authentication methods to handle a large number of VPN tunnels.
Term

Password Authentication Protocol (PAP)

Definition
The ______ is a remote-access authentication method that sends client IDs and passwords as cleartext. It is generally used when a remote client is connecting to a non- Windows PPP server that does not support password encryption
Term

Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)

Definition
The _____ is a RAS protocol that uses an encryption method to transmit authentication information. Generally used to connect to non-Microsoft servers.
Term

MS-CHAP

Definition
____ is a Microsoft extension of CHAP that is specifically designed for authenticating remote Windows workstations.
Term
Terminal Access Controller Access Control System Plus (TACACS+)
Definition
____ provide centralized authentication and authorization services for remote users. It accepts login requests and authenticates the access credentials of the user.
Term

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)

Definition
The ____ is a layer 2 Microsoft VPN protocol that increases the security of PPP by providing tunneling and data encryption for PPP packets.
Term

L2TP

Definition
____ was specifically designed to provide tunneling and security interoperability for client-to-gateway and gateway-to-gateway connections. It employs IPSec as the transport mode for authentication, integrity, and confidentiality.
