Understand & Configure Cisco ASA Firewalls

Description

In this course, we will cover both concepts and configuration commands of Cisco 5505 and Cisco 5506-X ASA firewalls. The concept is reinforced through Packet Tracer activities that are like real life situations.

The basic configurations of the ASA include:

1- Renaming of ASA devices

2- Exploring default configurations of both 5505 and 5506-X Cisco ASA devices using variety of show commands.

3- Creating Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) on Cisco 5505 ASA

4- Creating security network objects

5- Assigning IPv4 addresses

6- Assigning different security levels

7- Configuring Dynamic and Static Network Address Translations (NAT)

8- Configuring Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name System (DNS), and HTTP (Web) servers in Cisco Packet Tracer.

In addition to basic configuration commands of both 5505 and 5506-X firewalls, advanced access control lists (ACLs) are covered for situation when:

1- There is a Web server in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) of the network for public access.

2- There are Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS) servers in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) of the network for private access.

3- There is a public server on the Internet, where you like to allow your Local Area Network (LAN) devices access to it.

Who this course is for:

• Learners who have completed the first Cisco CCNA course.
