INE - Implementing Cisco ASA Firewalls - Brian McGahan

This course is designed for network engineers who want to quickly get up to speed on deploying and supporting Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Firewalls in production environments. This class is also applicable to candidates for Cisco security certifications such as CCNA Security, CCNP Security, and CCIE Security. This class takes a hands-on approach to implementing technologies such as stateful firewall filtering, deep packet inspection, DoS prevention, and IPsec & SSL VPN termination on both the Cisco ASA 8.x and 9.x Command Line Interface (CLI) and the Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) GUI interface. Students will follow the instructor through the detailed configuration, verification, and troubleshooting of ASA 5500 series firewalls, and also learn the advanced theory behind topics such as stateful firewall filtering and IPsec VPNs.
