Students will also learn about many different features commonly found on next-gen firewalls such as routing, NAT, traffic control, logging, SNMP, deep packet inspection, and packet filtering. A significant portion of the course is spent learning about virtual private networks (VPNs), including different types of VPNs and how to configure and implement them.
