Implementing Cisco IOS Network Security (IINS) v1.0 is an instructor-led course presented by Cisco training partners to their end-customers. This five-day course focuses on the necessity of a comprehensive security policy and how it affect the posture of the network. Learners will be able to perform basic tasks to secure a small branch type office network using Cisco IOS security features available through web-based GUIs (Cisco Routers and Security Device Manager [SDM]) and the command-line interface (CLI) on the Cisco routers and switches.

Course Objectives

After completing this course the student will:

Develop a comprehensive network security policy to counter threats against information security
Configure rotuers to the network perimeter with Cisco IOS Software security features
Configure a Cisco IOS zone-based firewall to perform basic security operations on a network
Configure site-to-site VPNs using Cisco IOS features
Configure IPS on Cisco network routers
Configure LAN devices to control access, resist attacks, shield other network devices and systems, and protect the integrity and confidentiality of network traffic
