Cisco CCNP Security Cert Guide: Implementing and Configuring Cisco IOS Routed Data Plane Security

  • Sample Chapter is provided courtesy of Cisco Press.
  • Date: Jun 27, 2011.

Chapter Description

Several different parts of a network need to be secured from internal and external attack. This chapter addresses the routed data plane, including the Cisco IOS Software features that can be used to secure the network user data that traverses the network, and discusses how to configure these features on the network devices within the network.

Exam Preparation

As mentioned in the section, "How to Use This Book," in the Introduction, you have several choices for exam preparation: the exercises here, the memory tables in Appendix D, the final exam preparation chapter, and the exam simulation questions on the CD-ROM. The following questions present a bigger challenge than the exam itself because they use an open-ended question format. By using this more difficult format, you exercise your memory better and prove your conceptual and factual knowledge of this chapter. You can find the answers to these questions in Appendix A, "Answers to the DIKTA Quizzes and Fill in the Blanks Questions."

Review All Key Topics

Review the most important topics in this chapter, noted with the Key Topics icon in the margin of the page. Table 8-6 lists a reference of these key topics and the page numbers on which each is found.

Complete Tables and Lists from Memory

Print a copy of Appendix C, "Memory Tables" (found on the CD), or at least the section for this chapter, and complete the tables and lists from memory. Appendix D, "Memory Table Answers," also on the CD, includes completed tables and lists to check your work.

Define Key Terms

Define the following key terms from this chapter, and check your answers in the Glossary:

  • access control list (ACL), stateless

Use Command Reference to Check Your Memory

Table 8-7 lists the important commands from this chapter. To test your memory, cover the right side of the table with a piece of paper, read the description on the left side, and then see how much of the command you can remember.
