Micronics has a workbook specifically for ASA, I was wondering if anyone had a look at it to see if it's worth purchasing? I know Narbik is the man for R/S, but I have no info about this workbook. Any other suggestions for a workbook geared towards ASA also welcome. Thanks for any advice you guys have!

Not familiar with them, so I couldn't say... but it does look like it was written for the old FIREWALL exam, which has been retired. I wouldn't pay $100 for it...

Thanks for the replies. I didn't think it was geared for the FIREWALL exam, per se, I think it is just to get someone up to speed on configuring the ASA in a lab environment. I know I can get all the info I need from Cisco Docs, but I'm lazy and was hoping for some premade stuff that would show me the expected output of some of the configuration scenarios while I read about the technology with which I am working. Not a huge deal, I just saw it one day and thought "Oh! This might work out well! Maybe I can get up to speed on the new NAT format!" Well, as my coworker says, we have the biggest lab in the area, our customers!

It shadows the FIREWALL curriculum very closely, judging from the subject headings.

As for "new NAT format", this one will cover the 8.2/8.3 shift, but not the minor changes when going to 9.x.
