Preparing for the latest CCNA® Security exam? Here are all the CCNA Security commands you need in one condensed, portable resource. Filled with valuable, easy-to-access information, the CCNA Security Portable Command Guide is portable enough for you to use whether you’re in the server room or the equipment closet.
Completely updated to reflect the new CCNA Security 640-554 exam, this quick reference summarizes relevant Cisco IOS® Software commands, keywords, command arguments, and associated prompts, and offers tips and examples for applying these commands to real-world security challenges. Throughout, configuration examples provide an even deeper understanding of how to use IOS to protect networks.
Topics covered include
• Networking security fundamentals: concepts, policies, strategies, and more
• Securing network infrastructure: network foundations, CCP, management plane and access, and data planes (IPv6/IPv4)
• Secure connectivity: VPNs, cryptography, IPsec, and more
• Threat control and containment: strategies, ACL threat mitigation, zone-based firewalls, and Cisco IOS IPS
• Securing networks with ASA: ASDM, basic and advanced settings, and ASA SSL VPNs
