Course programme

The Knowledge Academy Deploying Cisco ASA VPN Solutions (VPN) 5 day course covers the following topics:

Introduction

The Deploying Cisco ASA VPN Solutions (VPN) 2.0 course is part of the curriculum path leading to the Cisco Certified Network Professional Security (CCNP Security) Certification.

It is a five-day instructor-led course aimed at providing network security engineers with the knowledge and skills needed to implement and maintain Cisco ASA-based perimeter solutions.

Successful graduates will be able to reduce risk to the IT infrastructure and applications using Cisco ASA features, and provide detailed operations support for the Cisco ASA.

This course is an update to the Cisco ASA VPN Solutions (VPN) 2.0 intended to introduce new features in the Cisco ASA version 8.3 and 8.4 software.

In addition, the course has been restructured to steam line the content in the course while still building performance standards on job task analysis (JTA) claims and evidence criteria.

The course also focuses on Cisco Any Connect 3.0 features and management from ASDM. In addition, it has additional coverage of IKEv2. The hardware covered in this course includes the ASA 5520s.
