Overview/Description
Traffic from outside a closed network that has a destination inside a closed network passes through the network perimeter. The routers at the network perimeter are an important initial point of network security. This course explains how to use the CLI to configure routers on the network perimeter with Cisco IOS Software security features, including securing the physical installation of and administrative access to Cisco routers based on different network requirements. It explores the features and uses of SDM, and how to configure a Cisco router to perform AAA authentication with a local database using the Cisco SDM. This course also covers the operation of external AAA sources such as RADIUS and TACACS+ servers, how to configure a Cisco router to perform AAA, and how to securely implement the management and reporting features of syslog, SNMP, SSH, and NTP. This course is one of a series from the IINS 1.0 SkillSoft learning paths which cover the objectives for Cisco exam 640-553 IINS 1.0.
