C-compiler Reference manual

PCH, like the other CCS compiler products, is capable of generating highly efficient and extremely tight object code for Microchips 18F family of PIC Microprocessors. While the PCH is a command line compiler it can easily be stitched into Microchips MPLAB IDE for those who want a graphic IDE or if you prefer to use Microchip's development tools for debugging.
If you are looking for a completely integrated PIC development solution checkout the PCW or PCWH version of the CCS compiler. These versions incorporate all the same features and functions as the PCB compiler plus additional PIC controllers, and a Windows IDE that is fully integrated with CCS’s in-circuit debuggers (ICD-u40, ICD-S40, Mach-X).

CCIE: Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert Study Guide (Hardcover)

In a world where most CCIE books are as dense and understandable as a phone book in a language you just started learning last week, the CCIE Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert Study Guide is a breath of fresh air–readable, clear, and admirably concise. Unfortunately, that readability comes at a price, and that price is a lack of depth.

You can’t fault the authors, though–the CCIE is a daunting exam, covering a wide range of topics in a sometimes-terrifying depth. And given that books tend to fall apart under their own weight if they get over twelve hundred pages, any book publisher has to choose between packing friendliness or information into those compressed slices o’ wood pulp. For the CCIE Study Guide, they chose readability, making it perhaps the only beginners’ guide to the most advanced certification available.

But since you’re going to be buying more than one book for this exam anyway, why not get one you’ll enjoy reading? And the CIEE Study Guide functions as a stellar overview, explaining the CCIE topics with deft aplomb and some of the best writing you’re likely to see in this advanced arena, where technical wizardry is often valued more highly than clarity.

The amazing thing about the CCIE Study Guide is the cleanness of the writing: it gets the essentials of large unwieldy concepts across in a few sentences. Which is not to say that you won’t have to reread it a couple of times to understand some of the rough spots, but the amount of rereading is drastically minimized from what it could be. Carefully thought-out diagrams spotlight various routing issues, and definitely help with visualization.

But even considering the clear writing, the detail is fairly sparse. The responses you’ll get to various command lines are sometimes truncated for space, which may cause problems for those who aren’t used to sorting through pages of output to find the critical data. The sections on Ethernet frames contain information, but they’re not comprehensive. In short, there’s a heck of a lot here, but the CCIE will require a bit more in almost every case.

There are 20 questions at the end of every chapter, and they’re all right–but they’re definitely a step down from what you can expect to see on the actual CCIE, and they’re all simple multiple-choice questions. No scenario-style questions to be found here, buddy. The answers, sadly, are terse and don’t always explain why the other options are wrong.

In short, backed with some Web research and a couple of other books, this could be the foundation for a real passing grade–but it’s not quite enough. However, if you’ve lost your way during all of the individual exams and need an overview–or want a refresher course that is technically accurate as far as it goes and is comparatively fun to read–then you won’t regret it. This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. –William Steinmetz

Cisco Press ACS User Guide

This chapter contains an overview of Cisco Secure Access Control Server Release 4.0 for Windows,
hereafter referred to as ACS.
The following topics are presented:
• Introduction to ACS, page 1-1
• ACS Features, Functions and Concepts, page 1-2
• Managing and Administrating ACS, page 1-15
• ACS Specifications, page 1-19
Introduction to ACS
ACS is a scalable, high-performance Remote Access Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) and Terminal
Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+) security server. As the centralized control point
for managing enterprise network users, network administrators, and network infrastructure resources,
ACS provides a comprehensive identity-based network-access control solution for Cisco intelligent
information networks.
ACS extends network-access security by combining traditional authentication, authorization, and
accounting (AAA - pronounced “triple A”) with policy control. ACS enforces a uniform network-access
security policy for network administrators and other network users.
ACS supports a broad variety of Cisco and other network-access devices (NADs), also known as AAA
clients, including:
• Wired and wireless LAN switches and access points
• Edge and core routers
• Dialup and broadband terminators
• Content and storage devices
• Voice over IP
• Firewalls
• Virtual private networks (VPNs)
Figure 1-1 on page 1-2 illustrates the role of ACS as a traditional network access control/AAA server.

User Guide for Cisco Secure Access Control Server for Windows

Chapter 1 Overview
ACS Features, Functions and Concepts
ACS as the AAA Server
From the perspective of the NAD, ACS functions as the AAA server. You must configure the device,
which functions as a AAA client from the ACS perspective, to direct all end-user host access requests
to ACS, via the TACACS+ or RADIUS protocols.
TACACS+ is traditionally used to provide authorization for network administrative operations on the
network infrastructure itself; RADIUS is universally used to secure the access of end-users to network
resources.
Basically, the NAD serves as the network gatekeeper, and sends an access request to ACS on behalf of
the user. ACS verifies the username, password and possibly other data by using its internal database or
one of the configured external identity directories. ACS ultimately responds to the NAD with an access
denied or an access-accept message with a set of authorization attributes. When ACS is used in the
context of the NAC architecture, additional machine data, known as posture, is validated as well, before
the user is granted access to the network.
AAA Protocols-TACACS+ and RADIUS
ACS can use the TACACS+ and RADIUS AAA protocols.
Table 1-1 compares the two protocols.
TACACS+
ACS conforms to the TACACS+ protocol as defined by Cisco Systems in draft 1.78. For more
information, refer to the Cisco IOS software documentation at http://www.cisco.com.
RADIUS
ACS conforms to the RADIUS protocol as defined in the draft of April 1997 and in the following
Requests for Comments (RFCs):
• RFC 2138, Remote Authentication Dial In User Service
• RFC 2139, RADIUS Accounting
• RFC 2284
