Seattle Cisco ASA Training: Installing, Configuring, Optimizing, and Troubleshooting the Cisco ASA Security Appliance October 1, 2008

Description:

Presented by soundtraining.net and taught by veteran I.T. trainer, writer, and speaker Don R. Crawley.

This Cisco ASA training serminar is two intensive days filled with hands-on lab exercises where you'll learn how to reset the administrator password (even when you don't know it), how to build a basic firewall configuration from scratch in the command-line and in the GUI. You'll practice backing-up and restoring your configuration files and the firewall's operating system image. We'll show you how to set up centralized logging with a syslog server. You'll practice configuring login banners. You'll configure local usernames and privilege levels, plus you'll practice using Active Directory for authentication. You'll set up a DHCP server for automatic address assignment. You'll practice building three types of VPNs including site-to-site, remote access, and a clientless Web VPN. You'll build a DMZ with a Web server and a print server. You'll practice port-scanning to test for vulnerabilities. We'll show you how to configure various types of filtering and you'll actually practice configuring filters to block Java applets. In short, this Cisco ASA training seminar is a lot of hands-on exercises and not a lot of talking! Our instructors are there to show you how to do things, answer your questions, and help you troubleshoot your configurations.

Now upgraded with even more "hands-on" lab exercises (and less lecture)!
