• Note if you enable this function you should ensure that there are multiple aps within the broadcast radius that can accept any rejected or kicked wireless clients otherwise a wireless client attempting to connect to an overloaded ap will be kicked continuously and never be allowed to connect 171
• Nxc5200 user s guide 171
• When your ap becomes overloaded there are two basic responses it can take the first one is to delay a client connection this means that the ap withholds the connection until the data transfer throughput is lowered or the client connection is picked up by another ap if the client is picked up by another ap then the original ap cannot resume the connection 171

• When numerous aps broadcast within a given area they introduce the possibility of heightened radio interference especially if some or all of them are broadcasting on the same radio channel if the interference becomes too great then the network administrator must open his ap configuration options and manually change the channel to one that no other ap is using or at least a channel that has a lower level of interferrence in order to give the connected stations a minimum degree of interference dynamic channel selection frees the network administrator from this task by letting the ap do it automatically the ap can scan the area around it looking for the channel with the least amount of interference 174

• Rules with nxc as the to zone apply to traffic going to the nxc itself by default 250
• Stateful inspection 250
• Table 88 default firewall behavior 250
• The firewall allows only lan wan computers to access or manage the nxc 250
• The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter 250
• The nxc drops most packets from the wan zone to the nxc itself except for vrrp traffic for device ha and generates a log 250
• The nxc has a stateful inspection firewall the nxc restricts access by screening data packets against defined access rules it also inspects sessions for example traffic from one zone is not allowed unless it is initiated by a computer in another zone first 250

• Nxc5200 user s guide 258
• The following table describes the labels in this screen 258
• The nxc applies nat destination nat settings before applying the firewall rules so for example if you configure a nat entry that sends wan traffic to a lan ip address when you configure a corresponding firewall rule to allow the traffic you need to set the lan ip address as the destination 258

• Configurable application policies 266
• Note the nxc allows the first eight packets to go through the firewall regardless of the application patrol policy for the application the nxc examines these first eight packets to identify the application 266
• Note the nxc checks firewall rules before it checks application patrol rules for traffic going through the nxc 266
• What you need to know 266
• Bandwidth management 267
• Custom ports for sip and the sip alg 267
• Diffserv and dscp marking 267

• Application patrol bandwidth management examples 271
• Bandwidth management is very useful when applications are competing for limited bandwidth for example say you have a wan zone interface connected to an adsl device with a 8 mbps downstream and 1 mbps upstream adsl connection the following sections give some simplified examples of using application patrol policies to manage applications competing for that 1 mbps of upstream bandwidth 271
• Chapter 19 application patrol 271
• Figure 119 application patrol bandwidth management example 271
• Ftp traffic from the lan1 to the dmz can use more bandwidth since the interfaces support up to 1 gbps connections but it must be the lowest priority and limited so it does not interfere with sip and http traffic 271
• Ftp traffic from the wan to the dmz must be limited so it does not interfere with sip and http traffic 271
• Here is an overview of what the rules need to accomplish see the following sections for more details 271
• Http traffic needs to be given priority over ftp traffic 271
• Note the following examples assume the nxc is operating in routing mode not in bridge mode in bridge mode there are only two zones lan and wlan in routing mode you can configure any of the zones described here 271
• Nxc5200 user s guide 271
• Sip traffic from vip users must get through with the least possible delay regardless of if it is an outgoing call or an incoming call the vip users must be able to make and receive sip calls no matter which interface they are connected to 271
• Chapter 19 application patrol 272
• Highest priority 1 set policies for other applications to lower priorities so the sip traffic always gets the best treatment 272
• Inbound traffic to the lan and dmz from the wan is also limited to 200 kbps the nxc applies this limit before sending the traffic to lan or dmz 272
• Manage sip traffic going to the wan zone from a vip user on the lan or dmz 272
• Nxc5200 user s guide 272
• Outbound traffic to the wan from the lan and dmz is limited to 200 kbps the nxc applies this limit before sending the traffic to the wan 272
• Setting the interface s bandwidth 272
• Sip any to wan bandwidth management example 272
• Use the interface screens to set the wan zone interface s upstream bandwidth to be equal to or slightly less than what the connected device can support this example uses 1000 kbps 272

• You could create a new monitor profile that creates logs but all actions are disabled observe the logs over time and try to eliminate the causes of the false alarms when you re satisfied that they have been reduced to an acceptable level you could then create an inline profile whereby you configure appropriate actions to be taken when a packet matches a signature 309
• You may also find that certain signatures are triggering too many false positives or false negatives a false positive is when valid traffic is flagged as an attack a false negative is when invalid traffic is wrongly allowed to pass through the nxc as each network is different false positives and false negatives are common on initial idp deployment 309
• You may want to create a new profile if not all signatures in a base profile are applicable to your network in this case you should disable non applicable signatures so as to improve nxc idp processing efficiency 309

• In a configuration file or shell script use or as the first character of a command line to have the nxc treat the line as a comment 520
• Nxc5200 user s guide 520
• Table 197 configuration files and shell scripts in the nxc 520
• These files have the same syntax which is also identical to the way you run cli commands manually an example is shown below 520
• While configuration files and shell scripts have the same syntax the nxc applies configuration files differently than it runs shell scripts this is explained below 520
• You have to run the aforementioned example as a shell script because the first command is run in privilege mode if you remove the first command you have to run the example as a configuration file because the rest of the commands are executed in configuration mode 520
• Your configuration files or shell scripts can use exit or a command line consisting of a single to have the nxc exit sub command mode 520
• Errors in configuration files or shell scripts 521

• For added security certificate based authentications eap tls eap ttls and peap use dynamic keys for data encryption they are often deployed in corporate environments but for public deployment a simple user name and password pair is more practical the following table is a comparison of the features of authentication types 642
• If this feature is enabled it is not necessary to configure a default encryption key in the wireless security configuration screen you may still configure and store keys but they will not be used while dynamic wep is enabled 642
• Key differences between wpa or wpa2 and wep are improved data encryption and user authentication 642
• Leap lightweight extensible authentication protocol is a cisco implementation of ieee 802 x 642
• Note eap md5 cannot be used with dynamic wep key exchange 642

• Table 247 comparison of eap authentication types 642
• The ap maps a unique key that is generated with the radius server this key expires when the wireless connection times out disconnects or reauthentication times out a new wep key is generated each time reauthentication is performed 642
• Wi fi protected access wpa is a subset of the ieee 802 1i standard wpa2 ieee 802 1i is a wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption authentication and key management than wpa 642

• The ap and wireless clients use the tkip or aes encryption process the pmk and information exchanged in a handshake to create temporal encryption keys they use these keys to encrypt data exchanged between them 646
