To secure Cisco-based networks, professionals must keep track of scores of commands, keywords, command arguments, options, and prompts - and Cisco's new CCNA® Security exam (Implementing Cisco IOS Network Security, v2.0) tests most of these. Getting familiar with all these commands is a daunting task. CCNA® Security Portable Command Guidebrings them all together in one concise, portable, easy-to-use reference. Packed with configuration examples, real-world scenarios, and expert tips, it's the perfect take-anywhere guide to securing small-to-medium sized networks consisting of Cisco ISR routers, Catalyst switches, and/or ASA adaptive security appliances. Coverage includes: * Implementing best-practice secure network topologies * Developing comprehensive network security policies to counter threats * Enforcing security from Cisco's CLI and GUI * Configuring perimeter routers with Cisco IOS software security features * Configuring a Cisco IOS zone-based firewall to provide basic network security * Mitigating Layer 2 attacks * Configuring VPNs using Cisco IOS features * Configuring IPS on Cisco network routers * Configuring LAN devices to provide identity-aware access control, resist attacks, and protect network traffic integrity and confidentiality, and more Designed throughout for fast access to information, this book also provides a Quick Reference index on the inside cover that will help readers instantly identify solutions that work.
