Upon completing this lesson, the student will be able to recommend an
appropriate approach to threat mitigation for network topologies containing
either single or multiple switches. The Student will also be able to discuss
the use of the SDM Security Audit wizard to provide a comprehensive Router
Security Audit.
The enterprise management of VPNs was discussed. One of
the greatest challenges to implementing large-scale Site-to-Site and Remote
Access VPNs is management. The primary role of the Router MC is to manage
Site-to-Site VPNs. The key topics associated with VPNs were explored, to give
the student a broad understanding of how Router MC operates to better manage
large-scale VPNs.
Finally, the student learned about the SNMP. The
student learned how SNMP enables network administrators to manage network
performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth. The
student learned how SNMP, although simplistic, can be used effectively to
assist the administrator in monitoring the network through its information
gathering capabilities.
