Implementing Secure Converged Wide Area Networks (ISCW)
Dikarenakan buku-buku yang membahas secara khusus tentang materi ISCW begitu minim, maka solusi tepatnya adalah googling di internet mencari materi-materi yang relevan. Menurutku ada salah satu buku wajib yang harus dipelajari untuk dapat menguasai ilmu tentang ISCW yaitu file yang bernama "Student Guide Implementing Secure Converged WIde Area Networks" volume 1 dan 2 dari Cisco.
Untuk overview secara keseluruhan, ISCW mencakup beberapa pelajaran penting seperti kutipan referensi "Student Guide" di bawah ini.
"Implementing Secure Converged Wide Area Networks (ISCW) is an advanced course that introduces techniques and features enabling or enhancing WAN and remote access solutions. The course focuses on using one or more of the available WAN connection technologies for remote access between enterprise sites.
This course includes cable modems and DSL with Network Address Translation (NAT), Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), virtual private networks (VPNs), and network security using VPNs with IPSec encryption and Internet Key Exchange (IKE) keys. After taking this course, learners will be able to secure the network environment using existing Cisco IOS security features, and configure the three primary components of the Cisco IOS Firewall Feature set: firewall, intrusion prevention system (IPS), and authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA). This task-oriented course teaches the knowledge and skills needed to secure Cisco IOS router networks using feature and commands in Cisco IOS software, and using a router configuration application. ISCW is part of the recommended learning path for students seeking the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP)."
Di lihat dari rangkuman di atas, ada sebagian besar yang sering ditemui dalam implementasi kerja sehari-hari seperti materi MPLS, VPN, dan AAA ada pula yang harus dipelajari lebih jauh.
Jadi dengan terus belajar, kita akan lebih mengetahui teori yang sebenarnya.
Hope it will be better than before.
