Cable and DSL, particularly ADSL for teleworker connectivity are addressed and IPsec, GRE and MPLS VPN technologies are presented. Various methods to prevent attacks with intelligence and non-intelligence are proposed. Cisco IOS Firewall is also introduced. As an alternative to configuration from Cisco IOS CLI, SDM (Secure Device Manager) is deployed. The course is run in the UTS Cisco Systems Network Academy.
