Summary of content This module aims to provide students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to determine appropriate design choices for virtual private network and security solutions, implement them and verify their operation.
Module details Syllabus arrow_forward Tunneling Implement and troubleshoot MPLS operations (Label stack, LSR, LSP, LDP,MPLS ping, MPLS traceroute). Implement and troubleshoot basic MPLS L3VPN (L3VPN, CE, PE, P, Extranet (route leaking)). Implement and troubleshoot encapsulation (GRE, Dynamic GRE). Implement and troubleshoot DMVPN single hub (NHRP, DMVPN with IPsec using pre-shared key, QoS profile, Pre-classify). Encryption Implement and troubleshoot IPsec with pre-shared key (IPv4 site to IPv4 site, Virtual tunneling interface (VTI)). Troubleshooting VPN technologies Use IOS troubleshooting tools (debug, conditional debug, ping, traceroute with extended options, Embedded packet capture). Apply troubleshooting methodologies Diagnose the root cause of networking issue (analyze symptoms, identify and describe root cause) Design and implement valid solutions according to constraints Verify and monitor resolution Interpret packet capture (Using wireshark trace analyzer,Using IOS embedded packet capture). Secure connectivity with password authentication protocol and challenge handshake authentication protocol on point-to-point over ethernet links.
Learning outcomes arrow_forward On successful completion of this module a student should be able to:
Teaching / learning strategy arrow_forward Flipped classroom teaching aims to maximise the direct and digitally mediated contact time with students by practicing teaching and learning strategies that use real world scenarios and encourage action learning, enquiry based learning, problem based learning and peer learning. All these approaches aim to directly involve the students in the process of learning and to encourage sharing of learning between students. The module team will determine the level and accuracy of knowledge acquisition at key points in the delivery, inputting when necessary either directly or with the support of external experts who will add to the authenticity, the credibility and application of the education and learning in the workplace.
