These lectures contain information vital to fulfilling many of the 200-301 CCNA and Network+ exam goals.

Part 2

In part 2 of this course, we configure a DHCP server to operate over a WAN comprised of our SOHO network, cloud network, and a data center. Then we add in cybersecurity measures via Trusted Ports to protect our networks against a man-in-the-middle attack. We add in the ability for our client to log in remotely using SSH, along with other configurations that fulfill 200-301 CCNA and Network+ exam goals. You will also learn new show commands for monitoring and troubleshooting.
