Learn how to use Network Address Translation (NAT) to protect your LAN
Learn anti-spoofing techniques you can put to use immediately
Learn how to use the mail and DNS guard features of the PIX firewall
Learn how to build a DMZ and enable content filtering and real-time reporting
Initial setup and configuration
In Module 4, we´ll take you step by step through the setup process. You´ll learn the proper techniques to get your PIX firewall up and running, from taking your PIX out of the box and plugging it in through initial configuration and configuration backup. In this module, you´ll take your PIX from no configuration to a working configuration, including ...

Day two: 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Maintaining the firewall
Module 5 covers the important points of maintaining your PIX. You´ll explore management through the console, the ASDM (including Web-based administration), Telnet (and why it can be dangerous!) and SSH. You´ll learn how to save your PIX configurations to a TFTP so you´ll be able to quickly recover your configuration in the event that it gets changed or corrupted. Also included in this module ...
How to add user accounts in the ASDM
Tips and techniques for management and maintenance from the firewall´s console
Web management concepts and procedures using the ASDM
How to use Telnet to remotely manage your firewall
Using Secure Shell (SSH) for secure remote management
Advanced configuration
Module 6 brings the entire workshop together as we show you how to implement NAT and PAT for maximum LAN security. We´ll also show you how to use static and conduit commands to fine-tune access control. You´ll learn how to configure various Virtual Private Network (VPN) configurations and understand the different variables involved in the process. Also in this module ...
How to set up a PIX-to-PIX VPN
Understanding and configuring Network Address Translation (NAT)
Understanding and configuring Port Address Translation (PAT)
Using the static and conduit commands to control access
How to use port scanning software to test the open ports on your firewalls and servers to verify proper configuration and function of your systems
