What's the difference between "login block-for X attempts X within X" and "security authentication failure rate X"?

What's the difference between, just for example, "login block-for 100 attempts 15 within 100" and "security authentication failure rate 3"?
Please ignore the numbers, I need to know what the differences are in commands and what they do, what they affect.

security authentication failure rate number_of_failed_attempts : A global configuration mode command used to specify the maximum number of failed attempts (in the range of 2 to 1024) before introducing a 15-second delay
login block-for 100 attempts 15 within 100 : Block all access after 15 failed login attempts within 100 Secs for the period of 100Secounds (1.40 Minutes).
The Cisco IOS Login Enhancements (Login Block) feature allows users to enhance the security of a router by configuring options to automatically block further login attempts when a possible denial-of-service (DoS) attack is detected.
The login block and login delay options introduced by this feature can be configured for Telnet or SSH virtual connections. By enabling this feature, you can slow down "dictionary attacks" by enforcing a "quiet period" if multiple failed connection attempts are detected, thereby protecting the routing device from a type of denial-of-service attack.

    What is the difference between LTE mode, CDMA mode, LTE/legacy 3GGPP mode, and Global mode in Preferred Network?

        Great question alczervik!
    LTE- is our 4G network.
    All CDMA/LTE Legacy are going to be related to our 1X, 3G/ EVDO network.
    Global is GSM. Meaning you can use Internationally.

  • What is the difference between Login authentication using AAA and Login Local

    Hello,
    I am currently studying my CCNA and I am curious as to what is the difference between configuring the below 2 options, which seem to achieve the same outcome to me.
    1).
    Router(config)#username user1 password pass1
    Router(config)#line vty 0 15
    Router(config-line)login local
    Or
    2).
    Router(config)#username user1 password pass1
    Router(config)#aaa new-model
    Router(config)#aaa authentication login LOCAL_AUTH local
    Router(config)#line vty 0 15
    Router(config-line)#login authentication LOCAL_AUTH
    Thanks for your replies

    When only looking at the authentication as you have configured it, you are right. Both do the same thing. But when you activate aaa new-model, you have plenty more options to control how your complete AAA is working. Most important, you can send the authentication to an external Authentication-server with RADIUS or TACACS+ or you can do Authorization where the external server controls what you are allowed to do after you have authenticated.

  • What is the difference between non-blocking and 1:1 oversubscribed?

    Could someone tell me what the difference is between a non-blocked port and one with 1:1 oversubscription?

    "non-blocking port" and "1:1 oversubscription" are the same.    It's also the same when you are saying "line rate".  

  • What are the differences between iPlanet web servers, enterprise edition 4.1 sp2 and version 6.0

     

    Hi,
    The following are the features of iPlanet Web Server 6.0 which is enhanced from iPlanet Web Server 4.1 release.
    You can implement sticky sessions by prefixing the name of the server host that generated the session to the JSESSIONID (the Servlets 2.2 API standard session cookie name). This enables the front-end load balancer to do sticky load balancing, such as forwarding future requests to the same host that generated the session.
    Keep-alive handling now thousands of keep-alive connections can be maintained.
    Added support for digest authentication as defined in RFC 2617. Digest authentication is used in conjunction with the iPlanet Directory Server 5.0 as an access authentication method that avoids passing the user name and password over the network in an unencrypted form.
    Command Line Administration Tools.
    Improved User Interface:-iPlanet Web Server 6.0 provides an improved user interface with the following features:
    Magnus Editor ,Class Manager ,.htaccess Configuration
    iPlanet Web Server currently provides support for Quality of Protection (QOP)= auth and algorithm = MD5 only.
    iPlanet Web Server 6.0 features improved SSL performance and simplified server certificate acquisition from VeriSign.
    In general, the authentication mechanisms provided by iPlanet Web Server 6.0, such as basic and digest authentication using LDAP, work across web applications (or servlet contexts). For FORM authentication, you can implement single sign-on using a cookie-based FORM login session created with a virtual-server-wide session manager. This FORM login session is available across all applications within the virtual server and is separate from the regular HTTP session which is limited to the servlet context
    You can install iPlanet Web Server 6.0 on multiple machines using templatized installation.
    Web Publishing is not supported in iPlanet Web Server 6.0.
    Server-Side JavaScript (SSJS) /LiveWire is not supported in iPlanet Web Server 6.0.
    Live Connect (LC) is not supported in iPlanet Web Server 6.0.

  • What's the difference between Netscape SDK for Java & JNDI?

    I know I can use either JNDI or Netscape SDK to access iDS. So whats their differences basically?
    Why would I need JNDI/Netscape SDK if I can just use either of them to access iDS?
    Thanks!

    Netscape SDK for JAVA developed only for iplanet Directory Server but JNDI for any directory server.
    JNDI has classes provided by Sun that will help your application interact with an LDAP server.JNDI applications work similarly to JDBC applications - write applications once and be free to use "drivers" from different vendors. Sun provides the "driver" that will help interact with the LDAP server. Sun also provides "drivers" for other naming services (like CORBA, Netscape).
    The Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) allows Java applications to use a single set of methods to access multiple naming and directory services such as LDAP and NIS.
    JNDI is a Java API that provides a common way for programmers to access a variety of naming and directory services. The API consists of several packages:
    javax.naming for naming operations (access entries)
    javax.naming.directory for directory operations (access attributes)
    javax.naming.event for requesting event notification
    javax.naming.ldap for LDAP-specific features.
    JNDI operates through a layer of software called a Service Provider. The Service Provider implements the JNDI operations in terms of a particular underlying protocol.
    JNDI's Service Provider Interface (SPI) allows you to select Service Providers at runtime. In many cases you can use the same JNDI methods regardless of whether the Service Provider is talking to an LDAP server or using another protocol such as NIS. In order to access all of the functionality of the LDAP protocol, however, you will have to use methods outside of this abstraction.

  • What is the difference between a pki digital certificate received in pkcs7 format and what iplanet refers to as a pkcs#11 module?

     

    A lot of NSS-related jargon is defined on mozilla.org, including the different PKCS standards:
    http://mozilla.org/docs/jargon.html#PKCS5
    To summarize (and simplify), PKCS #7 is a standard for digital certificates while PKCS #11 is a standard for communicating with cryptographic devices (e.g. SSL hardware accelerators).

  • What is the difference between String Constant and Empty String Constant

    What is the difference between string constant which does not contain any value and the Empty string constant?
    While testing a VI which contain a normal string constant in VI analyzer, it gives error to change string constant with the empty string constant?
    Please Reply

    Readability.
    Functionally, they are the same. From a coding standpoint, the Empty String Constant is unambiguous.
    It is empty and will always be; good for initialization. Also, because you can not type a value into and Empty String Constant, someone would need to conciously replace it to set a 'default' value that is something other than NULL.
    Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T

  • What is the difference between a Serial ATA 3 TB Drive and 3 TB Fusion Drive

    What is the difference between a Serial ATA @ 7200 rpm 3 TB Drive and 3 TB Fusion Drive

    A Fusion Drive is a proprietary combination of a hard drive and a solid state drive (SSD) engineered to dynamically move data you use most onto the fast SSD - so it's a lot faster than the equivalent hard drive, but much cheaper than a pure SSD storage solution would be.

  • What is the difference between mp4 for iphone and mp4 for ipod ?

    I have converted some videos to mp4 and there is a choice to convert to iphone or ipod.
    But what is the difference between them ?
    It cant just be something simple like screen size / resolution.
    Because I have some mp4 videos that will sync with itunes onto my iphone, but not onto my ipod 5th gen.
    Do you have to have both types of mp4 videos, one for the iphone and one for the ipod ?
    If so then thats a right pain the in arse.
    I would have thought mp4 is mp4 and would work on both the iphone and the ipod ?

    There is no difference because as you said Java is platform independenec. However, the installer is platform-dependent so we needed to package the Beans differently.
    All the java classes and libraries are identical

  • What's the difference between Application ID and Product ID for WP App?

    Anyone know what's the difference between the Application ID on Marketplace and the
    Product ID in WMAppManifest.xml?  Can I get the Application ID before I sumbit the app to Marketplace? Thank you.

    Hello the ApplicationID is the ProductID on the WMAppManifest.xml, when you create a new project, a generic
    ProductID is assigned to your app, and once you send your app to the store, the generic
    ProductID is replaced with a new one (which will be assigned permanently to your app
    unless you do a new App Submission, which means each update will have that same ID). AFAIK once your app is certified you'll get the ApplicationID, you can send it and publish it manually, so you could
    have the AppID before people start downloading the app.
    (if you need the AppID for testing IAP, you may want to try sending your App as a Beta version)
    I hope it helps
    Yassine,
    Now I think I understand them, thank you!

  • What's the difference between OEM and standart licensing of VMware vSphere for users?

    Good day,
    Could you please explain me,
    What's the difference between OEM and standart licensing of VMware vSphere for users?

    The difference is usually the support you get. With OEM versions you'll often get support from the OEM and not from VMware directly.
