Suggested prerequisites
Cisco Certified Network Administrator (CCNA) training and/or knowledge of networking fundamentals, devices, cables, and topologies
Projects
- Practice core networking skills using self-grading examples from Packet Tracer.
- Configure a clientless SSL VPN that allows a remote user to securely access predefined corporate resources from any location using a browser.
- Configure basic device settings and a site-to-site virtual private network (VPN).
Virtual private networks (VPNs) provide a way for remote workers and sales staff to communicate over an insecure public network. In this course, join instructor Lisa Bock for an overview of core strategies you can use to secure a network with a VPN and ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and authentication.
Learning objectives
- Review VPN topologies and components, including hairpin, split tunnel, always-on, and NAT Traversal (NAT-T), along with corresponding protocols.
- Work with the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) in Packet Tracer to secure networks using firewall features, malware defense, intrusion prevention, and content monitoring.
- Utilize the IP security (IPsec) framework to both encrypt and authenticate each IP packet between hosts, and secure IPv4 and IPv6 communications.
- Compare key functions of the IPsec Authentication Header (AH) and Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) protocol that can be used in either transport or tunnel modes to secure data.
- Connect with an always-on VPN, compare hairpin and split tunnel connections, and translate network addresses using Network Address Translation (NAT) and Port Address Translation (PAT).
- Configure Cisco AnyConnect VPN, assess endpoint posture, ensure Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS), and set up an IPsec site-to-site VPN.
