Good Reference book

This is a good reference book if you are using version 7 or below of the Pix firewall. Most of the syntax is geared for v7. There are a few slight deferences in v6.3 command syntax that aren't covered. IE generating keys for ssh use. Overall the book seems to cover all the basics and the more advanced topics like failover configurations and firewall contexts (virtual firewalls). It should serve well as a Pix certification resource although I haven't used it as such.

May be used as either a classroom text or a PIX work reference

If it sounds familiar, that's because Cisco PIX Firewalls: Configure, Manage, & Troubleshoot updates a prior popular edition for Cisco PIX version 7.0, providing the same popular format along with new chapters on how to migrate to 7.0 with minimum hassle. From application inspection function charts and access control lists for ASA uses to configuring a virtual HTTP and adding solutions to common problems, Cisco PIX Firewalls may be used as either a classroom text or a PIX work reference.
