WAN security concepts, tunneling, and VPN basics are introduced. Discuss the special network services required by converged applications and an introduction to quality of service (QoS). Students will describe the impact of applications (Voice Over IP and Video Over IP) on a network; implement basic switch security (port security, trunk access, management vlan other than vlan1, etc.); configure, verify, and troubleshoot DHCP and DNS operation on a router (CLI/SDM); describe today’s increasing network security threats and explain the need to implement a comprehensive security policy to mitigate the threats; configure and apply ACLs based on network filtering requirements (CLI/SDM); configure and apply an ACLs to limit telnet and SSH access to the router using (SDM/CLI); configure NAT for given network requirements using (CLI/SDM); configure and verify a basic WAN serial connection; configure and verify Frame Relay on Cisco routers; and describe VPN technology (importance, benefits, role, impact, components).
