Description

Cisco IOS Software on Cisco switches provides data plane security controls that can mitigate the risks that are associated with OSI Layer 2 attacks inside a VLAN. This course enables you to configure and verify several of the Cisco IOS Software security features that you can use to reduce these risks in your switched network environment. In an OSI Layer 3 device, the data plane implements packet-forwarding functions and applies services to packets as they are forwarded through the device. The Layer 3 data plane provides various OSI Layer 3 traffic-filtering to protect both the network infrastructure and the endpoints that are connected to the network. This course introduces some effective tools that you can use to provide such protection.
