TE 272 - Enterprise Networking, Security, and Automation

Credit Hours: 4

Enterprise Networking, Security, and Automation, describes the architecture, components, operations, and security to scale for large, complex networks, including wide area network (WAN) technologies. The course emphasizes network security concepts and introduces network virtualization and automation. Students learn how to configure, troubleshoot, and secure enterprise network devices and understand how application programming interfaces (API) and configuration management tools enable network automation. The course includes activities using Packet Tracer, hands-on lab work, and a wide array of assessment types and tools.

Course Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

Configure single-area OSPFv2 in both point-to-point and multiaccess networks.
Explain how to mitigate threats and enhance network security using access control lists and security best practices.
Implement standard IPv4 ACLs to filter traffic and secure administrative access.
Configure NAT services on the edge router to provide IPv4 address scalability.
Explain techniques to provide address scalability and secure remote access for WANs.
Explain how to optimize, monitor, and troubleshoot scalable network architectures.
Explain how networking devices implement QoS.
Implement protocols to manage the network.
Explain how technologies such as virtualization, software defined networking, and automation affect evolving networks.
