Hi everyone
I’ll be taking over a firewall at work soon, even though I haven’t worked with one hands-on before. Right now, I have read-only access to get familiar with the system before officially starting.
My course starts next week, and I’m planning to go for NSE5 after that, so I want to make sure I’m on the right track from the beginning. How was your experience with the course and the exam? What should I focus on?
Any advice from real experience would be really appreciated!
Hi!
My advice would be to follow the course from the Fortinet Trainings Portal.
Make good use of the example questions included.
Some interesting topics:
FSSO
HA
UTM
VDOM
My advice would be to practice some of these topics on a test firewall, can be a physical or virtual appliance.
