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 also earns you 32 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.    

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
