Day 3


Today, we learnt how to use tera-term and putty.

Both of it has the same purpose which is to configure the Switch, 2960 and 3560.

We can access to the Switch and from there, able to configure the password level and such.

Basically there are 2 types of 'password'.
1. Password
2. Secret

Both of it are used for security purposes, the difference is that when you execute the sh run command :

The Password will be shown whereas if you use Secret, the Secret would not be shown, instead random letters and characters will be shown.

The experiment we did above was part of lab 6.

Today, we did not learn much as it was a friday and everyone wasnt in our study mood. Our fellow team member lost his bike key.

But as least we had a clearer idea on what we are supposed to do for our FYP.

It is to enchance the whole wireless system.

1. Qos ( Quality of service)

which simply means to learn to filter traffic and give piority to the important clients.

This alone is not enough to give us good grades so we need more functions, but first, lets get our foundation right.
