CloudNetX (V1) exam objectives summary

  • Core networking concepts: applying IP addressing, routing protocols, network address translation (NAT), and networking protocols.
  • Network architectures: designing and implementing mesh, star, and spine-and-leaf topologies.
  • Hybrid connectivity: configuring virtual private networks (VPNs), software-defined wide area networks (SD-WAN), multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), and public cloud connections.
  • Availability solutions: recommending load balancing, redundancy, autoscaling, and content delivery networks (CDNs).
  • Campus installations: evaluating power, environmental factors, and physical access controls.

  • Threats and mitigations: identifying threats, addressing vulnerabilities, and applying mitigations.
  • Security technologies: configuring firewalls, encryption protocols, and network access control (NAC).
  • Access controls: defining firewall rules, security groups, and URL filtering.
  • Zero trust: implementing zero trust network access (ZTNA), secure access service edge (SASE), microsegmentation, and cloud access security broker (CASB).
  • IAM solutions: using single sign-on (SSO), multifactor authentication (MFA), public key infrastructure (PKI), and privileged access management.
  • Wireless security: applying encryption, authentication, and wireless isolation.

  • Operations management: managing risk, ensuring continuity, and optimizing service delivery.
  • Monitoring tools: using metrics, dashboards, logging, and alerting for performance.
  • Automation: applying infrastructure as code (IaC), automation tools, and scripting for hybrid environments.

  • Connectivity issues: resolving DNS, VPN, and cloud interconnectivity problems.
  • Performance problems: diagnosing latency, load balancing, and packet loss issues.
  • Security challenges: fixing firewalls, unauthorized access, and hybrid vulnerabilities.
