COURSE CONTENT

The primary focus of this course is on accessing wide area networks (WAN). The goal is to develop an understanding of various WAN technologies to connect small- to medium-sized business networks.

The course introduces WAN converged applications and quality of service (Q o S). It focuses on WAN technologies, including Point-to-Point Protocol (P P P), Frame Relay, and broadband links. WAN security concepts are discussed in detail, including types of threats, how to analyze network vulnerabilities, general methods for mitigating common security threats, and types of security appliances and applications. The course then explains the principles of traffic control and access control lists (ACL's) and describes how to implement IP addressing services for an enterprise network, including how to configure network address translation (NAT) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). IPv6 addressing concepts are also discussed. During the course, you learn how to use Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) to secure a router and implement IP addressing services. Finally, you learn how to detect, troubleshoot, and correct common enterprise network implementation issues.
