Review title: Good but...
Product review: I bought this book recently and have read around 75% at the time of this review. My feeling is that it is a good reference book only. If you are looking for a straight and forward way to get start up with PIX, forget about it. There are more valuable information on Cisco web site and on the web.The author goes deep in explaining the syntax and each parameter but the examples come much too late to digest all the complexity he has gone through.It would have been easier for the reader to understand, if after each syntax is explained, a one line example is given.But once you get a good feel of your system and have your PIX up and running, you can use it, to understand how things work under the hood and implement more advanced features like VPN and IPSec.
