Trusted network
The term trusted network refers to users or devices of an area which is
considered particularly secure or protected. Typically, this area is a private
section of a network. This private section of the network must be protected
from attacks by hackers and other security-related threats.
Untrusted network
The term untrusted network refers to users or devices of an area which is
considered not secure or not protected. Typically, this area is a network
outside the trusted network.
UTNW

VLAN 1
Cisco switches have a factory configuration in which default VLANs are
preconfigured to support various media and protocol types. The default
Ethernet VLAN is VLAN 1. It is a security best practice to configure all the
ports on all switches to be associated with VLANs other than VLAN 1. This
is usually done by configuring all unused ports to a black hole VLAN that is
not used for anything on the network. All used ports are associated with
VLANs distinct from VLAN 1 and distinct from the black hole VLAN. It is
also a good practice to shut down unused switch ports to prevent
unauthorized access.
VPN
Virtual Private Network. It extends a private network across a public
network and enables users to send and receive data across shared or
public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the
private network.
VPN-EP
VPN endpoint.
ZBP
