Before you start
You should understand basic networking, including IP addressing, the role of routers and switches, and the difference between user and admin access on a device. Some knowledge of how traffic flows between networks will make the VPN and firewall lessons easier. If you are new to networking, start with a CCNA or Network+ course and come back to this one.
About the 210-260 exam
The 210-260 Implementing Cisco Network Security (IINS) exam was issued by Cisco for the CCNA Security certification. It tested your ability to install, monitor and troubleshoot a secure network that keeps data and devices safe and available. Cisco retired 210-260 in February 2020 and pointed learners to the 200-301 CCNA exam. The security skills in this course still apply to any Cisco network. They also give you a strong base for CompTIA Security+ and other security courses.
