Summary

You have now covered all the pieces that go into the SAFE exam: the background that Cisco assumes you already have (Chapter 2, "Information Assets"; Chapter 3, "Threats"; and Chapter 4, "The Security Policy"), the management protocols and their functions (Chapter 5, "Management Protocols and Functions"), the SAFE Blueprints (Chapter 6, "The SAFE Security Blueprint"; and Chapter 7, "The Extended SAFE Blueprints"), and the products as they might be configured in the campus (Chapter 8, "Products in the Campus") and the edge (this chapter).

You can finally put all these pieces together to see how they make a network that is designed for security as well as information exchange. In Chapter 10, "The Small Network Implementation," you do this for the small network; in Chapter 11, "The Medium Network Implementation," you do this for the midsize network; and in Chapter 12, "The Remote-User Design," you do this for the Remote User Design. After that, it's time to take some practice exams and see if you are ready for the real thing.
