CCNA Security, Implementing Network Security Packet Tracer Skills Assessment

High Level Design Phase:

Purpose: Design Approach: The purpose of this Cisco Packet Tracer Skills Assessment (PTSA) is to support student success by providing additional student practice of security technology and features included in the CCNA Security course using the Command Line Interface (CLI). This PTSA is designed to provide the student with practice prior to taking the course online final exam. In addition, it provides limited coverage of the CLI commands that accomplish the same tasks as the SDM tasks in the SBA. This PTSA is design to be an integrated practice assessment covering all the major concepts and CLI configurations introduced in the CCNA Security (CCNAS) course. The Table of Specification (TOS) is a high-level design template for a given assessment. It identifies the claims, components skills, targeted number of tasks needed, and the knowledge or skill level desired for each task. Scoping information is also provided in most cases, and indicates the environment, features and details associated with the specified claims. Assessment design specifications in the TOS allow us to make inferences about what the students can actually do. Because some outcomes are more important than others in making those judgments, each claim is weighted based on course content, required job skills and certification coverage. Using the TOS helps to ensure that assessed tasks are relevant to the environment in which the student will work. The TOS claims coverage for this exam is as follows: Claim# Compound Observable/Assessment Objective Statements
Basic Router Security Configuration 00.02.01; 00.02.02 The student can implement basic router security including configuring, strong encrypted passwords, and secure lines. Network Management Security Configuration 00.02.03; 00.02.04; 00.03.03; 00.03.04; 00.04.02; 00.05.02; 00.05.03; 00.05.04 The student can secure network management including configuring privilege levels, secure IOS images and configuration files, AAA, SSH, Syslog, and NTPv3. Basic Switch Security Configuration 00.06.02 The student can implement basic switch security including configuring port security and storm control. 10% 13%
