ISCW introductory post…

by Branko Santo

well I have been reading up a bit on the topics, looking over book contents and some CBTs.

All in all it seems that IPSec + VPN, network/device hardening and MPLS are around 90% of the material. There are topics on connections (DSL, Cable and such) but from the first look it does not seem all that in depth.

Here are the topics from the Cisco site:

  • Implement basic teleworker services
  • Implement Frame-Mode MPLS
  • Implement a site-to-site IPSec VPN
  • Describe network security strategies
  • Implement Cisco Device Hardening
  • Implement Cisco IOS firewall
  • Describe and configure Cisco IOS IPS

I already watched some videos on MPLS and I like it :)    IPSec and VPN I am familiar with from Microsoft networking so this should be an easire one as I have a solid foundation on some of the topics.

Will be reporting soon and hopefully much more than for BCMSN.
