Cisco Security Specialist’s Guide to PIX Firewall
The
firewall has come to exemplify network security. While an overall
security strategy requires a harmonious integration of people, process,
and technologies to reduce risk, there’s no doubt that firewalls can be
a very valuable security tool. Cisco Systems’ PIX firewalls have gained
market leadership by demonstrating a mix of functionality, performance,
and flexibility. The objective of this book is to help you gain a
deeper knowledge of Cisco PIX Firewalls. Whether you have
administrative responsibilities or are studying to pass an exam such as
the Cisco Secure PIX Firewall Advanced (CSPFA), this comprehensive
guide will be of value to you.
This is the only book in the market
that focuses on covering (and going well beyond) all of the objectives
of the latest CSPFA 3.0 exam (9E0-111). Through the use of detailed
examples, this book provides step-by-side instructions on how to
configure, maintain, and troubleshoot PIX firewalls running software
version 6.2 and PIX Device Manager (PDM) version 2.1. All the latest
and greatest features of PIX firewall software version 6.2 are covered,
including TurboACLs, object grouping, NTP, HTTP failover replication,
command level authorization, downloadable ACLs, LAN-based failover, and
PPPoE.
