1. Overview
This document provides configuration guidance for users of Cisco® IOS SSLVPN. This feature is
designed to terminate SSL VPN connections on Cisco IOS Software-based routers (1800, 2800,
3700, 3800, 7200, and 7301). SSL VPN is comparable to and complements the popular IP
Security (IPsec) remote-access VPN.

The testing was performed at the NSITE lab in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina (RTP) on
the devices defined above. The objective of the testing was to configure and test interaction of
Cisco IOS SSLVPN with authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) policies using the
backup authentication setup. This is typically used by a provider with redundant AAA servers.
Advantage: The primary advantage of backup AAA authentication is the provider can have
redundant AAA servers. In the event of failure, users will still be authenticated. This setup can be
used with any of the AAA designs, and will work with authentication domains.
Note: All Cisco IOS SSL VPN/WebVPN features are included in a single, cost-effective license
that would be purchased separately. You can purchase the feature license in packs of 10, 25, or
100 simultaneous users directly from the Cisco.com configuration tool. If you already have a
router, use the following SKUs to order the license: FL-WEBVPN-10-K9=, FL-WEBVPN-25-K9=,
FL WEBVPN 100-K9=. Check the data sheet to find the maximum supported users for your platform.

2. Audience
This configuration guide is intended for customers and partners working to provide configuration
guidelines and best practices for smaller SSL VPN deployments.

3. Network Topology
Figure 1 shows a Cisco IOS SSL VPN topology that uses redundant AAA servers.
Figure 1. Cisco IOS SSL VPN Topology with Redundant AAA Servers



4. Basic Configurations
4.1 Global AAA Configuration
When the primary AAA server is unreachable, the service provider will typically have a backup
AAA server. When the router does not get a pass/fail response from the primary server, it will
eventually time out. Next it will send the request to the secondary server. It will work with the
authentication domains as well, but this will need to be set up on both servers.

QUESTION 1
What causes echo or reverberation in the room during a call?

A. too many acoustic panels
B. too many hard surfaces
C. too many people
D. too many devices

Answer: B

Explanation:
A common problem with rooms larger than the Cisco recommended dimensions is excessive
reverberation. Large rooms with smooth surface areas such as glass or long parallel walls reflect
more sound and in some cases create a noticeable echo, giving the room a ‘boomy’ or ‘echoy’
effect. Additionally, rooms with hard floors or hard-finished ceilings have more reverberation due to
the increased hard-surface areas present. Generally reverberation is more of a concern for
participants in the room than for the audio being shared with the other side of the Immersive Cisco
TelePresence meeting.

QUESTION 22
A receiving host computes the checksum on a frame and determines that the frame is damaged. The frame is then discarded. At which OSI layer did this happen?
A. session
B. transport
C. network
D. data link
E. physical

Answer: D
Explanation:
The Data Link layer provides the physical transmission of the data and handles error notification, network topology, and flow control. The Data Link layer formats the message into pieces, each called a data frame, and adds a customized header containing the hardware destination and source address. Protocols Data Unit (PDU) on Datalink layer is called frame. According to this question the frame is damaged and discarded which will happen at the Data Link layer.


QUESTION 23
A router has two Fast Ethernet interfaces and needs to connect to four VLANs in the local network. How can you accomplish this task, using the fewest physical interfaces and without decreasing network performance?
A. Use a hub to connect the four VLANS with a Fast Ethernet interface on the router.
B. Add a second router to handle the VLAN traffic.
C. Add two more Fast Ethernet interfaces.
D. Implement a router-on-a-stick configuration.

Answer: D
Explanation:
A router on a stick allows you to use sub-interfaces to create multiple logical networks on a single physical interface.

QUESTION 25
In an Ethernet network, under what two scenarios can devices transmit? (Choose two.)
A. when they receive a special token
B. when there is a carrier
C. when they detect no other devices are sending
D. when the medium is idle
E. when the server grants access

Answer: C,D
Explanation:
Ethernet network is a shared environment so all devices have the right to access to the medium. If more than one device transmits simultaneously, the signals collide and cannot reach the destination.
If a device detects another device is sending, it will wait for a specified amount of time before attempting to transmit.
When there is no traffic detected, a device will transmit its message. While this transmission is occurring, the device continues to listen for traffic or collisions on the LAN. After the message is sent, the device returns to its default listening mode.

QUESTION 28
VLAN 3 is not yet configured on your switch. What happens if you set the switchport access vlan 3 command in interface configuration mode?
A. The command is rejected.
B. The port turns amber.
C. The command is accepted and the respective VLAN is added to vlan.dat.
D. The command is accepted and you must configure the VLAN manually.

Answer: C
Explanation:
The “switchport access vlan 3” will put that interface as belonging to VLAN 3 while also updated the VLAN database automatically to include VLAN 3.


QUESTION 29
Which term describes a spanning-tree network that has all switch ports in either the blocking or forwarding state?
A. converged
B. redundant
C. provisioned
D. spanned

Answer: A
Explanation:
Spanning Tree Protocol convergence (Layer 2 convergence) happens when bridges and switches have transitioned to either the forwarding or blocking state. When layer 2 is converged, root bridge is elected and all port roles (Root, Designated and Non-Designated) in all switches are selected.
