CCNAv2 Chapter 05

This chapter discusses securing network devices and remote access. It covers configuring devices for remote SSH access using passwords and secrets encrypted with algorithms like MD5, SHA-256, and scrypt. Commands are provided for setting enable secrets, username secrets, and vty access controls. The roles of next-generation firewalls and IPS are explained, including using firewalls to control inbound and outbound connections through security zones like a DMZ. IPS works with signature databases to detect threats. Next-generation firewalls can include next-generation IPS modules.
