Course ID : EDU-JUN-IIDP
Length : Three days
About this Course
This three-day course discusses the configuration of Juniper Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) sensors in a typical network environment. Key topics include sensor configuration, creating and fine-tuning security policies, managing attack objects, creating custom signatures, and troubleshooting. This course is based upon IDP software version 4.1 and Security Manager 2007.3.
Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience in configuring, testing, and troubleshooting the IDP sensor.
Objectives
After successfully completing this course, you should be able to deploy the SA Series products to support common environments. Specific topics include the following:
- Deploy an IDP sensor on the network.
- Monitor and understand IDP logs.
- Configure, install, and fine-tune IDP policies.
- Configure the Profiler.
- Troubleshoot sensor problems.
- Create custom signature attack objects.
- Configure sensors for high availability using third-party devices.
Intended Audience
This course is intended for network engineers, support personnel, reseller support, and others responsible for implementing Juniper Networks IDP products.
Course Level
This is an introductory-level course.
