About Network Security, ACLs and Firewalls

GoConqr Original

What this page covers

The resources here centre on controlling traffic and protecting devices. Access control lists are the biggest theme. Flashcards such as ACL's ask whether ACLs are permit or deny statements and how standard and extended lists differ. Access List-CCNA Training asks you to spot a standard IP ACL from a set of commands.

Around that core sit firewalls, address translation, VPNs and AAA. Several mind maps cover the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance, IPsec site-to-site VPNs and Authentication, Authorization and Accounting.

Where to start

Begin with the flashcards, because the terms come first. ACL-REVIEW and Protecting the Network are good openers. The second explains the Cisco layer where ACLs, firewalls and address translation are implemented.

  1. Read a mind map such as ACLs or Access control lists to see the structure.
  2. Work through flashcards until the vocabulary feels familiar.
  3. Take a quiz to test yourself.

Using quizzes and maps together

The CCNA Security Chapter 6 Exam quiz includes exhibit questions, such as a switch port configured with port security. CCNA 2 v5.03 chp 9 ingles asks which statements describe ACL processing and what ACLs are used for. After each attempt, return to a map and find the branch that covers the question you missed. Then try the quiz again.

For wider coverage, ACL / NAT pairs access lists with masquerading, and Securing the Local Area Network looks at protecting the switched side.

Where it fits

This unit sits in the Network Design, Security and Administration strand of Networks and telecommunications. Most material is aimed at professional candidates and university students, with a small share at school level. Teachers can use the quizzes and maps as ready-made revision material for a class.

Choose one resource that matches what you are working on today and open it. When you want to go further, make your own flashcards from the questions you find hardest.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with a flashcard deck such as ACL-REVIEW or Protecting the Network to learn the terms. Then read a mind map on access control lists, and finish with the CCNA Security Chapter 6 Exam quiz to see how well the ideas have stuck.

Are these resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so it is worth checking an answer against your own course materials.

Which exams do these resources relate to?

The listed resources mention CCNA and CCNA Security. Quizzes such as CCNA 2 v5.03 chp 9 ingles and the CCNA Security Chapter 6 Exam are good examples. Other resources have no exam named, so they suit general study of the topic.

What do the mind maps cover?

The maps cover access control lists, troubleshooting ACLs, AAA, VPNs, IPsec with a pre-shared key and the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance. There are also maps on securing network devices and the local area network, so you can move from ACLs outwards.

Who is this page for?

It suits university students and professional candidates, who make up most of the material, and teachers looking for ready-made quizzes, maps and flashcards. You can use it to revise a single topic or to check gaps before a certification exam.

What if I cannot find the topic I need?

Try a nearby resource first, such as a mind map on firewalls or VPNs, which may cover it. If it is still missing, a free account lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
