Networking Concepts: Network and Security Appliances for CompTIA Network+

Although routers and switches are the core of data networking, there are many more networked devices which help improve usability and security. Learn about the hardware used in networking and network security needed for the CompTIA Network+ exam.

The job of routers and switches is to move network traffic as quickly as possible. However, in order to provide a robust network, additional appliances are needed for performance and security. In this course, Networking Concepts: Network and Security Appliances for CompTIA Network+, you’ll learn about networking and security hardware used in modern networks. First, you’ll explore how firewalls provide a strong first line of defense for data networks. Next, you’ll discover other network and security appliances used to support network functions. Finally, you’ll learn about different network topology types and how they are applied. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of network and security hardware needed for the CompTIA Network+ exam.
