Virtual Private Networking with SonicWALL Training Services
SonicWALL offers three high-quality, in-depth e*Training courses. Each course is designed to teach you key security technology fundamentals, along with specific SonicWALL design, configuration, implementation and troubleshooting topics.
Each technical e*Training course is self-paced and is approximately 6-8 hours in duration. However, courses do not need to be completed in one session. You have unlimited access to courses for a 90-day period from initial activation date.
A critical follow-on to Securing Networks with SonicOS, Virtual Private Networking with SonicWALL will give you a comprehensive education in core VPN technology, design and implementation considerations. You will also learn about SonicWALL-specific configuration and deployment as well as troubleshooting techniques. Like Securing Networks with SonicOS, you will be able to practice key activities through online simulations.
The Virtual Private Networking with SonicWALL eTraining course covers general VPN design concepts and technologies, their application via SonicWALL firewall products, installation, configuration and diagnostics. It also covers a general overview of Cryptography and IPSec implementation. Emphasis is placed upon underlying technologies, common configuration, and troubleshooting issues.
