Networking Training Overview

This course is designed to provide the student with the introduction to working with the Cisco ASA and Cisco PIX platforms.

The course is based on practical objectives. The student will begin by learning how to configure Interfaces to get the Firewall connected to the network. This will then lead the class into a discussion about using Access-Lists and how to filter and secure traffic coming through the Firewall. Lastly, the class will discuss the various methods to apply Network Address Translation on the Firewall as well as how to configure all the different types of NAT. The class will end by bringing it all together to show how each of the individual topics can be used to create a DMZ configuration.

By the end of class, the student will be able to:

• Understand and Configure Security Levels on the ASA and PIX Platform
• Configure interfaces and VLANs to connect a Firewall to the network
• Build Access-Lists
• Use and apply Object-Groups in Access-Lists
• Apply ACLs to Interfaces
• Understand and Explain the different types of NAT that exist on a Firewall:
  • Static NAT
  • Dynamic NAT
  • Policy NAT
  • NAT Exemption
• Build a Firewall with a Inside and DMZ interface
