For the full cinematic experience, find this episode on YouTube.
The detailed requirements for this exam are displayed as text,
so we highly recommend watching on YouTube for the full context.
Previously, while a new threat lurked in the system, Tanaka faced a different kind of wall.
Why are you telling me all this in such detail?
Feeling lost, he searched for a new way to prove himself. A shortcut.
The easiest way is a certification.
But the man with the real answers saw only another wall to hide behind.
A piece of paper won't make them respect you.
Real competence is built in the dark, over time, brick by painful brick.
And now, the defining moment.
Ignoring the warning, Tanaka chose the path he believed was right.
A test to prove his worth. But what he found was not an answer, but a question.
A question that would define his future.
The requirements are as stated.
All the information you need has been provided.
I would simply suggest that you try harder.
This isn't about passing a test.
It's about understanding that under pressure, even simple things become difficult.
It's about knowing what happens to your own skills in that moment.
It's about building a foundation that won't crumble when it matters most.
Now you know.
Okay, so far so good. Now for the real thing.
All right, gentlemen.
Apex Logisticsのネットワーク要件
Your task is to implement a secure on-premise network for a new client, Apex Logistics.
The core requirements involve network segmentation,
NGFW policy configuration, and detailed reporting.
All specific requirements are now displayed on your screen.
For those of you following along remotely,
it is crucial to review the on-screen text carefully.
Your time starts now.
Task on-premise network implementation for Apex Logistics Inc.
Scenario.
You are a network engineer for Global Secure Solutions.
A new client, Apex Logistics Inc., requires you to design and implement
a secure network for their new branch office.
Core requirements.
Network segmentation.
Internal LAN VLAN 10 for employee workstations.
Must be able to access the internet and the DMZ.
Guest Wi-Fi VLAN 20 for visitors.
Must only have access to the internet.
Inter-VLAN communication to the internal LAN and DMZ is strictly prohibited.
DMZ VLAN 30 to host a public-facing web server.
ネットワークセキュリティと設計
The server must be secured with a valid SSL-TLS certificate for HTTPS communication.
Security policy via NGFW.
Allow HTTP and HTTPS traffic from the internet to the web server in the DMZ.
Deny all other inbound traffic from the internet.
Log all denied traffic for security auditing.
Implementation and reporting.
Build this topology in GNS3 using the provided device images router, switch, NGFW.
Configure all devices, including IP addressing, routing, VLANs, and firewall policies.
Submit a comprehensive report detailing your design, configurations, and verification steps.
As evidence that the security policies are functioning correctly,
the report must include Wireshark captures showing, for example,
that HTTPS traffic is successfully reaching the web server in the DMZ.
Wait, what is this? What are they even talking about?
NGFW, router, switch, I know the words.
I could probably configure each one if I had enough time.
But what are these requirements?
Multiple VLANs, DMZ segmentation, complex policies to allow only specific traffic,
and on top of that, an SSL certificate?
And to top it all off, a Wireshark capture is evidence?
試験の苦悩
I've heard the name, but I've never used it properly.
Excuse me, a question about the certificate requirement.
For the SSL or TLS certificate, is a self-signed certificate acceptable for this simulation, or...
The requirements are as stated.
All the information you need has been provided.
I would simply suggest that you try harder.
Try harder?
That's not an answer to my question.
This is a rejection.
That's right, this isn't a school.
No one is going to help me.
He's telling me to get over this wall on my own.
Does everyone else get it?
The way out of this labyrinth?
Am I the only one who can't see it?
Liam's face flashes in my mind.
Fundamentals matter.
Now I understand what he meant, and it hurts.
I was trying to build a house without even knowing how to lay the bricks.
Liam-san, I... I failed the exam.
It was much harder than I expected.
So, the shortcut wasn't so short after all, was it?
I told you.
Fundamentals matter.
This isn't about passing a test.
It's about understanding that under pressure, even simple things become difficult.
It's about knowing what happens to your own skills in that moment.
It's about building a foundation that won't crumble when it matters most.
Now you know.
