“The book has two interesting aspects that helps the reader to better understand the Cisco Firewalls, the author could align theory and practice with examples in a very deep details. This approach is perfect in order to consolidate Firewalls concepts and its applications in the real world.
I really liked how Alexandre consolidates in a single book virtualization applied in three different technology areas: network (VLANs and VRFs), security (ASA and FWSM contexts) and servers (“Firewalls and Virtual Machines”). This last part, explained on a chapter named “Firewall Interactions” specially shows how vibrant and broad the subject “Firewall” still is.If you have to choose one book to learn about Cisco Firewalls this is definitely the one. ” – enio alves
