Excellent material for someone who cannot attend the high priced Check Point training, but must maintain or install CP Firewalls. You will learn all you need to know about Check Point and their Firewall and VPN products to successfully manage those devices. A must read!

This review is from: Ccsa Cp2000 Exam Cram (Paperback)
This is a great book, but not enough for the test unless you have significant experience with FW-1.

Good Study Resource, Feb 6 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Ccsa Cp2000 Exam Cram (Paperback)
The author presents the material well. Covers all the relevant information for the CCSA. The book was not a difficult read and very understandable. It would help if the reader has some networking knowledge and has worked with Firewall-1 previously. Some of the things readers should know are NAT, IP Routing (understanding IP Addressing), Basic Firewall concepts (what a Firewall does, etc), and some computer skills with NT 4.0 or Unix.
Anyone who might have his MCSE, CCNA, Unix experience, etc should not find the concepts difficult to understand and with a little hard work can learn how to install and configure and maintain Firewall-1.
If you already work with Firewall-1 then this book should suffice as a resource for the CCSA. Although I personally feel that the more resources you use the better off you will be when it comes time to take the exam.
In conclusion the book is a condensed version of the material you need to cover for the CCSA. If you are new to this field then you may want to use it as a supplement with other study materials. If you're already working with Firewall-1 then it should suffice.
4 STARS...(it would need to have the actual exam questions to rate 5 STARS).
