Hi,

Can your elaborate a bit what you mean?

I am not sure do you mean something related to the actual Flash memory on the ASA or some material to learn about the actual ASA.

Sry for Incomplete commands..

I dont know anything about ASA firewall. I need to know how it works. I am not intersted to learn only therotical., its difficult for me as self learner. So i need a documents should be in flash type step by step or good videos for easy understanding starting from basic.

hi,

i remember this flash-based curriculum in CCNA 640-802. however, to my knowledge, there aren't many materials of this kind for professional level certs (642-xxx).

you can refer to these materials, which i'm currently using or reading at the moment:

edit: if you don't wanna stick with just theory stuff, i recommend either buying an ASA 5505 or emulate it in GNS3

Hi,

To be honest I havent used that many online resources of the type you are after.

I would imagine that the CCNP Security - Firewall certification book current version would have a lot of usefull information related to the Cisco firewalls.

The CSC also has some videos related to firewalling

There is also the Cisco Live 365 site which has all the documents from the Cisco Live events around the world. You will need to register to get access to my understanding. There are also videos of the presentations there (atleast for some). Naturally the documents dont go deep into theory but they do have some helpfull information

You can also find a lot of guide videos on Youtube for example like this one

Sadly I cant help you much in this case. I personally learnt most about the Cisco firewall the hard way, basically without any supporting material and education (we only had CCNA and CCNP Routing&Swithching wihtout any course on the PIX firewall that was in use at that time and ASAs were still new). Eventually I learned what I needed and nowadays I just tend to refresh information from documents and mostly refer to the ASA Configuration Guide and Command Reference if I need to check on some command or confirm how something worked.

Hope this helps

i would recommend elearning with a cisco learning partner like skillsoft or other.

It's not for free but in my opinion its a good start into Cisco ASA and other platforms.

There you have live sessions but also good study material like interactive flash videos.
