1.2.2 Configure a Security Appliance You are an IT security administrator for a small corporate network. You just purchased a new network security appliance (NSA) to increase the corporate network's security. Now you need to configure the device. In this lab, your task is to perform the following: • Connect the NSA as follows: o Plug the NSA into the surge protector o Power on the NSA o Use Cat5e cable to connect a LAN port on the NSA to the laptop • Configure the WAN networking settings on the NSA as follows: o Access the NSA using the following parameters: URL: 192.168.75.1 Username: cisco Password: cisco o Configure WAN settings as follows: IP address: 65.86.24.136 IP subnet mask: 255.255.0.0 Gateway IP address: 65.86.1.1 Primary DNS server: 163.128.78.93 Secondary DNS server: 163.128.80.93 • Configure the LAN IPv4 networking settings on the NSA as follows: o IP Address: 198.28.56.18 o Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 o DHCP Mode: None • (Optional) When you're finished, you can reconfigure the IPv4 configuration on the laptop to communicate with the NSA. Watch the preceding demonstration to see how to complete these tasks. After you have completed all of the assigned tasks, feel free to explore the hardware and operating system interfaces within the lab. Select Done when you are finished. In order to score 100% on the lab, make sure that all components are still connected and turned on before you select Done.

4.1.4 Implement Physical Security You work as the IT security administrator for a small corporate network. You have designed the physical security of the offices and assets in the building, and now you need to implement your plan. You plan to install smart card readers. Smart cards have the ability to encrypt access information. Smart cards can require contact or be contactless. Proximity cards, also known as RFID (radio frequency identification) cards, are a subset of smart cards that use the 125 kHz frequency to communicate with proximity readers. Proximity cards differ from smart cards because they are designed to only communicate the card's ID, but the smart card can communicate more information. You also plan to use IP security cameras because they operate over the TCP/IP network. In this lab, your task is to perform the following: • Install the smart card key readers. Install one reader at the building entrance and the other reader at the networking closet entrance. The key card readers should be contactless and record more than the card's ID. • Install the IP security cameras. Record which employees enter and exit the networking closet with security cameras. The security cameras should operate over the TCP/IP network. • Install the Restricted Access sign on the networking closet door. • Install the visitor log on the lobby desk. Create your physical security by dragging the correct items from the shelf into the various locations in the building. As you drag the items from the shelf, the possible drop locations are highlighted. Not all items on the shelf will be used.
