This tutorial has been recently updated to cover the most important changes in the newest Cisco ASA software version 8.3. Among other things, in version 8.3 the Network Address Translation (NAT) configuration has been completely redesigned. This ebook covers all Cisco ASA versions (7.x, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 as well). It is currently the only tutorial online that provides so many real-life configuration examples and practical guidelines for configuring ANY Cisco ASA model (5505, 5510, 5520, 5540, 5550, 5580).


Dear Network Security Professional,

Thank you for visiting my website. You are a few steps away from learning the Fundamental Configuration Details of one of the Best and most popular Hardware Firewall in the market... The Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA).

Network security threats are exploding. Numerous security technologies, and software or hardware products have been developed to mitigate these threats. However, the good old hardware firewall is still the cornerstone of any security implementation.

Cisco, with the older PIX Firewall 500 series models and with the new 5500 series ASA models, holds one of the top positions in the firewall appliance market. Learning therefore to deploy, configure, and administer the Cisco ASA Firewall will give you a competitive advantage as a professional in the networking/security field.

The "Cisco ASA Firewall Fundamentals - 2nd Edition" eBook
below will help you achieve just that.

Unes - November 9, 2009
"Cisco ASA Firewall Fundamentals book is well worth the cost. Its contents were just right for me.

I understand intermediate networking but I don't work on Cisco ASAs often enough to remember everything and I didn't know much about the new 8.3 changes. I use Cisco ASA Firewall Fundamentals more than any other Cisco ASA book as a quick reference and a reminder if I have a Cisco ASA question. This book quickly showed me what the significant changes in 8.3 are.

Cisco ASA Firewall Fundamentals isn't dense like most Cisco books. It's very accessible. It doesn't contain every detail but it's the most used Cisco ASA book in my library (including all the books on O'Reilly Safari). It's easy to quickly read through, digest, and also good to refer back to later. It has excellent examples and explanations with helpful diagrams along with the command line commands.

Harris, thanks for writing this book and making it available at a reasonable price. If you write more books I will buy them too."

Lance - July 2, 2010
"We upgraded from a 10 year old Netscreen NS100 to a Cisco ASA5510 and this book was a great asset in learning how to recreate our firewall rules. It's a very short read and right to the point! I found it much easier to follow than Cisco's own book and would definitely recommend it as your main or companion reference."

John Mello - July 2, 2010
"Hello Harris,
I can't thank you enough for the the information you provide in your book. Even though I have taken both ICND courses and have a firm grasp of Cisco OS, I find myself referencing your work quite often.
Thanks again,
Paul."

Paul Belter - July, 2010
