Any free firewall training out there? (not cisco gear)

Hello,

Does anyone know of any up to date youtube/website videos on firewall training for brands like Sonicwall, Fortinet, Checkpoint, or Watchguard?

We will have a firewall class in the summer for Cisco Firewalls but looking to learn sonicwall or fortinet.

How much networking experience do you have? You might be better served by learning the concepts first then learn how each vendor implements them.

It could be because I support SMB business but Sonic wall has been 100% google-foo since all the ones I have worked on were 100% GUI. Need to block everything outbound on port 25 except the exchange server? That will be a completely different process in the GUI on the Sonicwall, Watchguard, Sophos, etc...too different to bother memorizing each.

Like iBrokeIT said, learning the foundations / fundamentals is probably a good place to start. Then its just a matter of remembering what each vendors calls that process and applying the fix after you google for the how-to.
