Overview/Description To support high availability on the Cisco ASA Adaptive Security Appliance, you can use several high-availability features on the appliance. EtherChannel enables you to improve the bandwidth from the Cisco ASA Security Appliance to a switch that also supports EtherChannel and it provides logical interface redundancy. Other high-availability features are redundant interfaces, in which you can pair two physical interfaces to provide interface-level redundancy. One interface in a pair is designated as active and one is waiting as a standby member. If the active interface...

Overview/Description The Cisco ASA Adaptive Security Appliance provides the administrator with a rich set of access control methods that can tightly control access between networks. This course discusses the most fundamental of these controls: interface access rules that enforce a basic Layer 3 and Layer 4 policy, permanent automatic antispoofing mechanisms, and temporary host-blocking mechanisms that may be required for incident response. Target Audience Anyone wishing to obtain the Cisco Certified Network Professional CCNP Security designation. Cisco Network Security Engineers responsible...

Overview/Description It is important to understand how to deploy basic management features on the Cisco ASA. These device management features include configuring: the device name, the system time, event and session logging, the device software, and the device licensing. This course identifies how to select management access choices, procedures, input parameters, and design and implementation guidelines. It also explains how to configure and verify time settings and support for NTP and logging settings and NetFlow on the Cisco ASA. The course covers the file system and configuration management...

Overview/Description Some small deployments and most medium- to large-size deployments require the Cisco ASA Adaptive Security Appliance to forward traffic to hosts that are not on directly connected networks. For the Cisco ASA Security Appliance to forward traffic correctly, it must have current routing information from which it can make a path selection. This course examines how routes are added to the routing table of the Cisco ASA Security Appliance and it examines the need for multicast support in secure environments. When you need to integrate the Cisco ASA Adaptive Security Appliance...
