Prerequisites

Students who attend this advanced course must have experience in configuring Cisco IOS software and have met the following prerequisites:

·          Certification as a CCNA or the equivalent knowledge

·          Basic knowledge of the Windows operating system

·          Familiarity with the networking and security terms and concepts (the concepts are learned in prerequisite training or by reading industry publications.

 Course Content

·          Given an example of Cisco's defense in depth, the learner will explain how Cisco IPS protects network devices from attacks.

·          Given an IPS sensor appliance, the learner will install the appliance in the network and initialize it.

·          Use IDM to configure basic sensor settings.

·          The learner will use IDM to configure built-in signatures to meet the requirements of a given security policy.

·          The learner will describe the functions of signature engines and their parameters.

·          The learner will use IDM to tune and create signatures to meet the requirements of a given security policy.

·          Given a scenario, the learner will use IDM to tune a sensor to work optimally in the network.

·          Given a scenario, the learner will use the Monitoring Center for Security and Cisco Threat Response to maximize alarm management efficiency.

·          The learner will explain blocking concepts and use IDM to configure blocking for a given scenario.

·          The learner will install the NM-CIDS in a router and initialize it.

·          The learner will install the module in a Cisco Catalyst 6500 Switch and initialize it.

·          The learner will use a Cisco Catalyst 6500 Switch to capture network traffic for intrusion prevention analysis.

·          The learner will install and recover the sensor software image and perform service pack and signature updates.

·          The learner will use the CLI and IDM to verify system configuration.

 Course Objectives

This task-oriented course teaches the knowledge and skills needed to design, install, and configure a Cisco Intrusion Prevention solution for small, medium, and enterprise networks. The course covers Cisco IPS sensor platforms, including the 4200 series Sensors and the Catalyst 6000 series Intrusion Detection Module 2 (IDSM-2). The IPS Device Manager is used to configure and manage Cisco IPS Sensors. The Security Monitor is used to view and respond to IPS alarms.
