A four-day instructor-led practical course designed to acquaint delegates with the Cisco ASA Firewall CLI and ASDM. The curriculum outlines the essential commands for configuring and securing networks using the ASA Firewall with operating system version 8 and ASDM version 6.

Delegates will learn to configure the ASA via the console port, TFTP server, telnet, and SSH, utilizing both local and RADIUS authentication. The device setup includes configuring Syslog and SNMP.

The ASA Firewalls will also be configured to implement Access-Lists, Network Address Translation (NAT), and VPNs using IPSec protocols. The course covers the theory of Public/Private keys and shared secret keys, explaining their role in establishing Site-to-Site VPNs between ASA Firewalls units using IKE and IPSec. Students will configure units to create Site-to-Site VPNs, Remote Access VPNs using the Cisco Secure VPN Client, and Web VPNs. The module also covers failover theory, with delegates configuring Active/Standby failover on the ASA.

Privileged commands and protocol analyser traces will be employed, where necessary, to debug protocols and ensure the proper operation of the ASA Firewall. Students will also carry out password recovery operations.

This course involves interfacing the ASA with other network equipment, such as routers and switches, as expected in a typical network environment.

Audience:

The course is suitable for anyone involved in ASA firewall configuration and network security.

The course is approximately 50% practical.
