Unit Code: ECI507
Unit Name: Enterprise Security, Networking and Automation
Description: Large enterprises depend heavily on the smooth operation of their network infrastructures. This is why networking professionals are vital to every organization, and those with networking skills can land a great job and set their sights on a rewarding career! This third course in the 3-course CCNA series describes the architectures and considerations related to designing, securing, operating, and troubleshooting enterprise networks. It covers wide area network (WAN) technologies and quality of service (QoS) mechanisms used for secure remote access and the introduction of software-defined networking, virtualization, and automation concepts that support the digitalization of networks.
Learning Target Outcomes: On successful completion of this course, the student should be able to: 1. Demonstrate how single-area OSPF operates in both point-to-point and broadcast multi-access networks. 2. Verify single-area OSPFv2 in both point-to-point and broadcast multi-access networks. 3. Apply how vulnerabilities, threats, and exploits can be mitigated to enhance network security. 4. Exhibit how ACLs are used as part of a network security policy. 5. Implement standard IPv4 ACLs to filter traffic and secure administrative access. 6. Configure NAT services on the edge router to provide IPv4 address scalability. 7. Manage WAN access technologies that can be used to satisfy business requirements. 8. Implement how VPNs secure site-to-site and remote access connectivity. 9. Practice how networking devices implement QoS. 10. Implement protocols to manage the network. 11. Use the characteristics of scalable network architectures. 12. Troubleshoot enterprise networks. 13. Verify the purpose and characteristics of network virtualization. 14. Implement how network automation is enabled through RESTful APIs and configuration management tools.
