Description

The Cisco DoD Comply-to-Connect (C2C) training teaches you how to implement and deploy a Department of Defense (DoD) Comply-to-Connect network architecture using Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE). This training covers implementation of 802.1X for both wired and wireless devices and how Cisco ISE uses that information to apply policy control and enforcement. Additionally, other topics like supplicants, non-supplicants, ISE profiler, authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) and public key infrastructure (PKI) support, reporting and troubleshooting are covered. Finally, C2C specific use case scenarios are covered. 

This training will help you: 

  • Learn how to operate, manage, configure, and troubleshoot the Cisco C2C solution 
  • Gain an understanding of how the Cisco ISE security components relate to the C2C architecture 
  • Earn 32 CE credits towards recertification
 

Objectives

  • Define DoD C2C, including its steps and alignment with ISE features/functions and Zero Trust 
  • Describe Cisco Identity-Based Networking Services 
  • Explain 802.1X extensible authentication protocol (EAP) 
  • Configure devices for 802.1X operation 
  • Configure access for non-supplicant devices 
  • Describe the Cisco Identity Services Engine 
  • Explain Cisco ISE deployment 
  • Describe Cisco ISE policy enforcement concepts 
  • Describe Cisco ISE policy configuration 
  • Explain PKI fundamentals, technology, components, roles, and software supplicants 
  • Troubleshoot Cisco ISE policy and third-party network access device (NAD) support 
  • Describe Cisco ISE TrustSec configurations 
  • Describe the Cisco ISE profiler service 
  • Describe profiling best practices and reporting 
  • Configure endpoint compliance 
  • Configure client posture services 
  • Configure Cisco ISE device administration 
  • Describe the four main use cases within C2C
