Cisco® Secure Access Control Server (ACS)
Length: 2-day Workshop
This course teaches you how to provide secure access to your network using the Cisco® Secure Access Control Server (ACS), interoperating with security features in Cisco IOS® Software. You will gain a thorough understanding of the operation of the Cisco® Secure ACS to control access to network services and devices. Course subjects include the principles of authentication, to restrict user access to networks, services, and devices; authorization, to restrict the functions users can perform on services and devices; and accounting, to track the activities of users. The RADIUS, TACACS+, Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), and 802.1x protocols are discussed in theory and practice as the basis of network security. Specific methods and configurations are shown that can be used in your production networks to achieve targeted and detailed restrictions. The course includes hands-on labs to provide personal experience in configuring Cisco® ACS and Cisco® network devices.
You will learn to:
- Describe the importance of network access security and the security needs and challenges associated with a network
- Understand the features, functions, and benefits of Cisco® Secure ACS
- Understand the considerations in deployment of Cisco® Secure ACS
- Understand the protocols used to establish network security, including RADIUS, TACACS+, 802.1x, and EAP protocols
- Understand the methods that can be used to secure a network and the services that operate over the network
- Effectively use the Cisco® Secure ACS to:
- Control access to the network and network services by remote, dial-in, wireless, or wired users
- Control the authority to perform specific functions
- Record and audit the activity of users on the network and on services
- Restrict access to network devices to authorized users or programmatic interfaces
- Configure network devices to implement authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) features and network admission control (NAC)
Recommended for:
This course is for network administrators, network operators, and system administrators responsible for securing their networks to assure authorized access only by authenticated users, with accounting of their activities.
