Probably shouldn't bother

This book is pretty much worthless. Anyone with an ounce of experience configuring any type of network device with a web-based interface could have written it. It's not a book that explains cause and effect relationships of configuration options. Basically what it does is tell you what to click in order to enable or change the different options on the firewall. Example: "Click the check box next to the VPN Policy to enable it"... No kidding, I wouldn't have guessed that's how it works! Brilliant! This book is chock-full of great, insightful gems like that. Someone buying a book to learn how to configure a device like this needs practical examples and descriptions of what the options actually do, not hand-holding for basic interface paradigms.
