Based on our enhanced SASAC v1.0 and SASAA v2.1 courses, this exclusive, lab-based course, provides you with your own set of equipment, giving you the Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) 9.x and ASA SFR-based lab experience in just five days. This course provides 29 different lab scenarios using Cisco equipment such as: ASA v9.5, ASA 5515-X NGFW (Next-Generation Firewall SFR), Access Control Server (ACS 5.4), Context Directory Agent (CDA), Catalyst switch, Integrated Services Router (ISR), and ASA 55x5.
A typical day will begin with an informal white board lecture by the instructor, covering topics associated with the day's labs. Afterwards, you will be free to work on the labs at your own pace and to experiment in the lab environment. Of course, the instructor will remain available to assist as needed.
ASA 9.5 labs can be run in any order, any number of times. ASA-SFR labs will be run consecutively. With the exception of two labs that require two pods to work together, no coordination with other students is necessary.
This course includes 30 Cisco e-lab credits.áYour e-Lab credits are good for 90 days after your course ends and can be used for additional practice on the course you just completed or to explore technologies from other courses in the Global Knowledge e-Lab portfolio.áLearn more.
