The PIX Firewall Specialist is a combination
of the Cisco Secure PIX Firewall Advanced
(CSPFA) course and the Securing Cisco IOS
Networks (SECUR) course, both delivered
together in one 5-day class. Because of
the accelerated nature of the course, be
prepared for long days in class -- 8:00
AM to 6:00 PM -- and a heavy study load.
Also, not all material in the student manuals
for each course will be reviewed in class.
Students will have opportunities to ask
questions on the material covered in the
course kits that is not presented in class.
The following are the descriptions of both
included curricula presented separately.
