Description

An important element in the overall security posture of an organization is the security of the network infrastructure. The network infrastructure refers to the routers, switches, and other such equipment that keep a network running. The infrastructure is often the target of denial of service (DoS) and other attacks that can directly or indirectly disrupt the network operation. In order to ensure the availability of the network, it is critical to implement the security tools and best practices that help protect each network element, and the infrastructure as a whole. This course explains how Cisco Network Foundation Protection (NFP) provides an umbrella strategy for infrastructure protection using Cisco IOS security features.
Cisco Configuration Professional is an intuitive GUI tool that enables you to easily and reliably deploy and manage the services on Cisco IOS routers. Cisco Configuration Professional simplifies router and security configuration through smart wizards, which help users quickly and easily deploy, configure, and monitor Cisco routers without requiring knowledge of the Cisco IOS Software CLI. This course introduces you to the design of Cisco Configuration Professional and to the features that you can configure from it.
