PoE (Power over Ethernet) is a standard established in the early 2000s that provides the convenience of eliminating power cables for low voltage devices by providing power through network cables. In order for PoE to work, the device that is powered by PoE must support the same standard as the PoE switch that is connected to the device. The switch hardware must also be configured to provide PoE service, which may require upgrading power supplies and/or port modules. PoE lowers the total cost of network installation and maintenance and is easy to enable on a Cisco 2960 switch in a few minutes.

What you need to Prepare.

1.       Cisco 2960 switch with telnet access enabled

2.       Privileged Exec mode password for the Cisco 2960 switch

3.       Telnet access password for the Cisco 2960 switch

How to Configure POE in Cisco 2960?
1. Select the "Start" button on the Windows XP computer. Click the "All Programs" icon, and then select the "Accessories" icon, and then click the command line icon. The command line window will display. 

2. Type "telnet aaa.bb.c.d" at the command prompt, replacing the "aaa.bb.c.d" with the IP address of the Cisco 2960, and then tap the "Enter" key.

3. Enter the telnet access password for the Cisco 2960 when requested, and then tap the "Enter" key.

4. Type "enable" at the command prompt, and then tap the "Enter" key. 

5. Enter the Privileged Exec password when requested at the command prompt, and tap the "Enter" key. Then enter"configuration terminal" at the command prompt, and tap the"Enter" key.

6. Type "interface fastethernet1/2," replacing the "fastethernet1/2" with the name of an interface in which you wish to enable PoE, and then tap the"Enter" key. Then, while in interface configuration mode, type"power inline auto" and tap the "Enter" key. Repeat this step for each interface in which PoE is required. 

7. Type "end" at the command prompt and tap the "Enter" key.

If you want to know the networking basics, firstly you should understand the way a network operates, which is the beginning of understanding routing and switching. Switches and routers are essential network equipment to set up a network. As essential networking basics, switches and routers enable the devices that are connected to your network to communicate with each other, as well as with other networks. 

Switches and routers look quite similar, but they perform very different functions in a network. What are the main differences? Let’s have a look.

Switches are used to connect multiple devices on the same network within a building or campus. For example, a switch can connect your computers, printers and servers, creating a network of shared resources. The switch, one aspect of your networking basics, would serve as a controller, allowing the various devices to share information and talk to each other. Through information sharing and resource allocation, switches save you money and increase productivity.

There are two basic types of switches to choose from as part of your networking basics: managed and unmanaged.

l  An unmanaged switch works out of the box and does not allow you to make changes. Home-networking equipment typically offers unmanaged switches.

l  A managed switch allows you access to program it. This provides greater flexibility to your networking basics because the switch can be monitored and adjusted locally or remotely to give you control over network traffic, and who has access to your network.

Routers, the second valuable component of your networking basics, are used to tie multiple networks together. For example, you would use a router to connect your networked computers to the Internet and thereby share an Internet connection among many users. The router will act as a dispatcher, choosing the best route for your information to travel so that you receive it quickly.

Routers analyze the data being sent over a network, change how it is packaged, and send it to another network, or over a different type of network. They connect your business to the outside world, protect your information from security threats, and can even decide which computers get priority over others.

Depending on your business and your networking plans, you can choose from routers that include different capabilities. These can include networking basics such as:

Firewall:Specialized software that examines incoming data and protects your business network against attacks

Virtual Private Network (VPN): A way to allow remote employees to safely access your network remotely

IP Phone network: Combine your company's computer and telephone network, using voice and conferencing technology, to simplify and unify your communications

The introduction of 802.11ac Wave 2 marks the first time that Wi-Fi has the throughput ability to move beyond the 1Gps barrier. The significance in not only because this is a nice large number but as the adoption of Wave 2 devices grows, Wi-Fi bandwidth will exceed the capacity of the wired infrastructure. 

That Cisco Aironet 1850 Series Access Point, due to ship in July, can offer users a data rate of 1.7Gbps using both of the main Wi-Fi frequency bands. It can also transmit to three users at a time so they don't have to share time on the network. That's far short of what 11ac Wave 2 will ultimately deliver, with a theoretical speed of 6.8Gbps, but a big step up from Wave 1, which tops out at 1.3Gbps.

But the 1850 Series AP doesn't come with the new multigigabit Ethernet ports that are expected to help make Wave 2 Wi-Fi reach its potential. Instead of the new interfaces that can operate at 2.5Gbps or 5Gbps, the new Cisco APs come with two regular Gigabit Ethernet ports.

The 1850 Series is designed for medium-size customers or the lower end of large enterprises. The size of their deployments and the density of use at their sites isn't likely to generate more than 2Gbps of uplink traffic through the AP, Cisco said.

The APs will balance the traffic load between the two Gigabit Ethernet ports to take advantage of their combined capacity, Cisco says. However, making that work would require two Ethernet cables out to the AP.

What are the main features of the new Aironet 1850 Series? Let’s check what the Aironet 1850 Series can offer customers:

Flexible deployment modes.

u  Controller-based deployments support small and medium networks

u  Integrated and external antenna models are available for various deployment environments

Better Wi-Fi coverage and performance with the latest Wi-Fi technology.

u  Supports 802.11ac Wave 2 (dual radio, 80 MHz channel size) and 4X4 MIMO

Improved client performance with multi-user multiple input and multiple output (MU-MIMO).

l  Get MU-MIMO with three spatial streams for 802.11ac Wave 2 clients

l  Transmit beam-forming for a better client experience

Fast offload to a wired network.

The 1850 Series provides two Gigabit Ethernet ports to support Link Aggregation Group (LAG).

Tunneling provides a mechanism to transport packets of one protocol within another protocol. The protocol that is carried is called as the passenger protocol, and the protocol that is used for carrying the passenger protocol is called as the transport protocol. Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is one of the available tunneling mechanisms which uses IP as the transport protocol and can be used for carrying many different passenger protocols. The tunnels behave as virtual point-to-point links that have two endpoints identified by the tunnel source and tunnel destination addresses at each endpoint.

The below diagram shows encapsulation process of GRE packet as it traversers the router and enters the tunnel interface:

Configuring GRE Tunnel:

Configuring a GRE tunnel involves creating a tunnel interface, which is a logical interface. Then you must configure the tunnel endpoints for the tunnel interface.

To configure the tunnel source and destination, issue the tunnel source {ip-address | interface-type} and tunnel destination {host-name | ip-address} commands under the interface configuration mode for the tunnel.

The below example explain about how to create simple GRE tunnels between endpoints and the necessary steps to create and verify the GRE tunnel between the two networks.R1's and R2's Internal subnets(192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24) are  communicating with each other using GRE tunnel over internet.Both Tunnel interfaces are part of the 172.16.1.0/24 network.

First step is to create our tunnel interface on R1 and R2:

Since GRE is an encapsulating protocol, we adjust the maximum transfer unit (mtu) to 1400 bytes and maximum segment size (mss) to 1360 bytes. Because most transport MTUs are 1500 bytes and we have an added overhead because of GRE, we must reduce the MTU to account for the extra overhead. A setting of 1400 is a common practice and will ensure unnecessary packet fragmentation is kept to a minimum.

After configuring tunnel,two tunnel endpoints can see each other can verify using an icmp echo from one end.

R1# ping 172.16.1.2

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.16.1.2, timeout is 2 seconds:

!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/4 ms

Workstations on either network will still not be able to reach the other side unless a routing is configure on each router.Here We will configure static route on both router.

R1(config)# ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.1.2

R2(config)# ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.1.1

Now both networks (192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24) are able to freely communicate with each other over the GRE Tunnel.

What's the difference between a router and a multilayer switch?

Back in simpler times, a router was a device that forwarded packets based on their IP addresses and offered a variety of interface types: Ethernet, T1, serial, OC-3, and others. Conversely, a switch was a device which forwarded packets (or frames, if you prefer) based on their MAC addresses and included only Ethernet ports.

Since the early 2000s the industry has seen two major trends which have greatly upset this understanding. First, the introduction of the multilayer switch meant it was possible for a switch not only to forward packets based on IP addresses, but to participate in dynamic routing protocols just like a router. Second, carriers began migrating away from legacy long-haul circuit technologies in favor of Ethernet for its speed and lower cost. In fact it's fairly common for routers today to consist entirely of Ethernet interfaces, just like their switch counterparts.

So where do we draw the line? Is there even a line anymore? The practical distinction between router and switch boils down to a few key functions:

• Port density. Enterprise-level switches typically come in 24- and 48-port variants, either as standalone devices or as modular chassis. Some are designed as separate physical chassis which can be stacked via a flexible external backplane connection. The goal is to fit as many physical interfaces in as dense a space as possible. A router, by contrast, might have have far fewer individual interfaces split across several field-replaceable modules.
• Speed. Switches are built primarily for speed, which is a function of the hardware chipset sitting behind the ports. It is common for even modest access switches today to support non-blocking line-rate connectivity.
• Intelligence. This is the key reason you might need a router instead of a switch. A router serves as a point of intelligent policy enforcement. This includes functions like network address translation, deep packet inspection (looking beyond the outer protocol headers), stateful firewalling, encryption, and similar more involved operations not supported on a multilayer switch.

That's the current theory regarding purpose-built hardware, anyway. With the current push toward virtual appliances, commodity hardware is being re-purposed for a variety of roles.

Patch or Straight through cables, are used to connect almost all networking components together and are the most common cable as a result.

Some examples of connections made with patch cables would include:

• Patch Panel to Computer
• Computer to DSL/Cable Modem
• Computer to Hub
• DSL/Cable Modem to Router
• DSL/Cable Modem to Hub
• DSL/Cable Modem to Wireless Access Point
• Wall Plate to Computer

Crossover cables are used in situations where two devices have the same interface, for example, connecting a hub to a hub, or a switch to a switch, or patching a hub or switch into a wall plate.

Some examples of connections made with crossover cables would include:

• Switch to Switch
• Computer to Computer (peer-to-peer network)
• Hub to Hub
• Access point to Access point

These types of cables also come in shielded versions. Shielded Cable or STP(Shielded Twisted Pair) has a protective “foil” that surrounds the cable. Shielded cable was designed to prevent strong sources of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI), from affecting the ability of the cable to transmit data. Generators, Elevator motors, and many types of lighting will produce strong EMI that can pass through the cable, corrupting your data and shutting down communication.

The shielding in the wire blocks this energy from getting through.

Does Cisco ASA 5500-X Series Support Both IPS and AVC/WSE in One Box?

EoS and EoL Announcement for the Cisco ASA 5512-X and ASA 5515-X

“Every wireless LAN deployment is different. The type and quality of antenna you use with your access points can make a huge difference in Wi-Fi data throughput and, in turn, the quality of the experiences your users enjoy.”

Why Select Cisco Antennas for Aironet Wi-Fi Access Points?

Cisco has the widest range of antennas, cables, and accessories available from any wireless manufacturer. In addition:

● Cisco antennas go through complete electrical, mechanical, and environmental testing.

● Cisco has long-standing relationships with other antenna suppliers who understand that Cisco customers require world-class antennas.

● All Cisco wireless network features are tested with Cisco antennas to help ensure consistent, repeatable performance. Examples of these wireless features are the Cisco radio resource management (RRM), Cisco CleanAir , rogue access point detection, and location services.

● You get the full support of the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) when you use Cisco antennas.

With directional and omnidirectional antennas, low-loss cable, mounting hardware, and other accessories, installers can customize a wireless solution that meets the requirements of even the most challenging applications.

Options for Every RF Environment You can order Cisco Aironet 802.11n and 802.11ac access points with built-in antennas or with RF ports for connecting to external antennas.

External antennas can improve your wireless coverage and data rates in certain situations. For example, building materials, floor layouts, distances, and usage patterns sometimes require concentrating radio signals in particular directions or at certain angles to get the fastest data throughput.

An extensive family of single- and dual-band antennas and mounting options for use with Cisco Aironet 802.11n and 802.11ac access points helps you optimize wireless performance in each unique situation. Indoors. Outdoors. Around corners. In open areas. Down hallways and mine shafts. And in places where aesthetics are important.

Benefits

• Improve wireless data throughput

• Match radio signal strength to desired coverage patterns and building layouts

• Manage performance of dualband implementations (5 GHz and 2.4 GHz) with full MIMO support

• Get the most out of your 802.11n and 802.11ac access point investments

Types of Available Wi-F AP Antennas* and Typical Uses

* Indoor APs require RP-TNC connectors; outdoor APs require N-Type connectors.

Use Cases and Considerations

The following Table lists guidelines for deploying antennas in different environments.
