With hands-on labs, continuous assessments, and significant savings on certification costs, this course is designed to support participants in achieving their networking certification goals.

A four-day instructor-led practical course designed to familiarise delegates with the Cisco ASA Firewall CLI and ASDM. The course details the key commands used to configure and secure networks using the ASA Firewall with v8 of the operating system and version 6 of the ASDM.

Delegates will configure the ASA using the console port, TFTP server, telnet and SSH using local and RADIUS authentication. The device will be configured to utilise Syslog and SNMP.

ASA Firewalls will also be configured to use Access-Lists, Network Address Translation and VPN's utilising IPSec protocols. The course will cover the theory of Public/Private Keys, shared secret keys and their use in forming Site to site VPN's between ASA Firewalls using IKE and IPSec. Students will configure the units to create site to site VPN's, remote access VPN's using the Cisco Secure VPN Client and Web VPN's. The course will cover the theory of failover and delegates will configure Active/Standby failover on the ASA.

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

This course will involve interfacing the ASA with other network equipment, such as routers and switches, as would be expected in a network environment.

Audience:

Course is suitable for anyone involved in ASA firewall configuration and network security

Course is approximately 50% practical

This course is divided into two complementary sections: theoretical and practical. The first section is a one-day introduction that covers the motivation, philosophy, fundamentals, and operational rules of the SIP protocol, as well as its application in implementing telecom services, with a focus on IP telephony and VoIP. The subsequent two-day section allows participants to explore the practical aspects of service operation through hands-on laboratory exercises, providing detailed insight into the configuration of SIP telephony architecture components, SIP signalling at both message sequence chart and internal message structure levels, and aiding in the understanding of typical issues and troubleshooting, including security and telecom fraud concerns. The trainers will share their experience in launching, operating, and managing SIP telephony, also covering virtualization and cloud-based solutions. The practical component is demonstrated using both SIP hardphones and softphones, along with IP telephony servers (Asterisk and Freeswitch). Participants can leverage the trainers' extensive technical and business experience in IP telephony to submit their own problems and questions. These will be incorporated into the agenda during the wrap-up session as a supplement to the training to address the current urgent needs of clients. This training is intended for participants with basic knowledge and experience in telecom services, specifically in VoIP and IP networking.
