not for the beginners - By: Alex S, 07 May 2008
I bought Cisco ASA 5505 lately & didn't know how to configure the thing so I picked up this book hoping it would guide me through complete configuration of the device. Well, I ended up with buying another book on Cisco technologies (Cisco: A Beginner's Guide, Fourth Edition) which is absolute must if you have never dealt with Cisco before. I used to own Cisco 871 router & it was a charm to run & configure: easy wizards to run out of the box. Not the ASA & as a result not this book. You've reallly got to have some time spent with Cisco IOS prior to configuring something more sophisticated than 800 series. I gave this book 5 stars rating as I believe it contains extensive material on the subject especiallly firewalll & security, but it won't guide you through ASA's setup initial wizards & configs as you might expect. I wish the author(s) included that part too since I was not reallly into buying & reading another 900 pages of how IOS started as I simply wanted to get things configured & running as with 800 series router & move on.
