In CSSA I (1-day) of the CSSA
Instructor-led Training, emphasis is on gaining familiarity with the
SonicWALL security environments, using the SonicOS Standard firmware.
This module is intended for students not already familiar with SonicOS
security, or for those who require experience using SonicOS Standard
firmware. Students will be introduced to network modes, product
registration, NAT configuration, User Level Authentication, Proxy Relay
and Routing, basic VPN configurations and layered security services.
Prerequisites:
• All students should have a basic knowledge of networking concepts
including network topologies and an understanding of the OSI model of
networking protocol stacks. Familiarity with Microsoft Windows
Networking is helpful.
• SonicWALL recommends that attendees have an understanding of TCP/IP,
network addressing, subnet masks, and Network Address Translation, as
well as knowledge of basic router concepts. Familiarity with Virtual
Private Networking and IPSec functionality would also be helpful.
• Students are assumed to have a basic conceptual knowledge of firewalls
and their role within a network.
• Students who do not meet course prerequisites may have difficulty
completing classroom labs.

The newly expanded 2-day CSSA II
Enhanced module is redesigned and updated with the new features and
functionality of the next major release—SonicOS 4.0. In Module 2 of the
CSSA Hands-On Training, emphasis is on building a comprehensive network
that demonstrates most of the commonly used features in SonicOS Enhanced
firmware. Students will build a network consisting of a LAN, DMZ, and
VPN tunnels. Using this network, they will create NAT policies and
layered security, access rules, LDAP/AD integration, WAN ISP Failover
and Load Balancing, Policy Based Routing, apply port address
translations, interpret logs and generate reports, and use
administrative features.
Prerequisites:
• Completion of CSSA I or equivalent knowledge basis
• All students should have a basic knowledge of networking concepts
including network topologies and an understanding of the OSI model of
networking protocol stacks. Familiarity with Microsoft Windows
Networking is helpful.
• SonicWALL recommends that attendees have an understanding of TCP/IP,
network addressing, subnet masks, and Network Address Translation, as
well as knowledge of basic router concepts. Familiarity with Virtual
Private Networking and IPSec functionality would also be helpful.
• Students are assumed to have a basic conceptual knowledge of firewalls
and their role within a network.
• It is highly recommended students complete the SonicWALL Technical
e*Training courses prior to attending instructor-led courses. The
Technical e*Training courses are: Securing Networks with SonicOS and
Virtual Private Networking with SonicWALL and Securing SonicWALL
Wireless Networks.
• Students who do not meet course prerequisites may have difficulty
completing classroom labs.
