    I'm partial to the Cisco ASA, PIX and FWSM Firewall Handbook by Hucaby.

    Edit: I should have mentioned, the 2nd Edition. It uses ASA 8 and FWSM 3.2, so you'll find it relevant.
    There are only 10 kinds of people... those who understand binary, and those that don't.

    I really liked Deal's book -
    Cisco ASA Configuration


    It has the best explanation on MPF.
    Get JNCIA-Junos by Dec 31st.
    Then pursue the loftiest goal ever.

    Make that +2. I finally got around to reading it last month. It's definitely top of my list now. You'll find it better coming from a R&S background, he starts with the ASA's routing functions which is totally at odds with most other guides. I found this odd at first and then it clicked that he was aiming to ease people in from CCNA level, start with familiar material.
    We responded to the Year 2000 issue with "Y2K" solutions...isn't this the kind of thinking that got us into trouble in the first place?
