Description
The Network Security module tests the learners knowledge of secure network installation, monitoring, and troubleshooting using Cisco security hardware and software solutions. The module content gives the student the advantage of complete coverage, real–world application, and extensive learning aids to help you pass with confidence.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Describe the security threats facing modern network infrastructures
2.
Implement AAA on Cisco routers using a local router database and external ACS
3.
Mitigate threats to Cisco routers and networks using ACLs and implement secure network design, management, and reporting
4.
Mitigate common Layer 2 attacks and implement the Cisco IOS firewall feature set
Teaching and Learning Strategies
Classroom lectures and computer laboratory practical sessions
Module Assessment Strategies
Contineous assessments comprising ongoing lab notes, closed booked assignment and practical open book lab exam. The final exam then would be a closed book two hour written exam.
Repeat Assessments
A project would be set over a two month period.
