As soon as the security policy has been defined, the next step is implementing the policy in the form of a network security design. We will discuss various security principles and design issues throughout this book. The first step to take after a security policy has been created is to translate it into procedures. These procedures are typically laid out as a set of tasks that must be completed to successfully implement the policy. These procedures upon execution result in a network design that can be implemented using various devices and their associated features.

Generally, the following are the elements of a network security design:

• Device security features such as administrative passwords and SSH ...
