The currrent MCNS book really isn't too bad. The beginning chapters are
generalish fluff, but the configuration chapters give you essentially
exactly what the test is going to throw at you. I used the first set of
Boson practice tests. They were riddled with errors and confusion in the
ways I'm used to from them, but they get the job done and do make you more
comfortable with the content. I don't regret the 29$ expense.
Haven't seen ANYTHING on IDS, and it's the only test I have left. Our
company doesn't really consider Cisco a big player in the IDS field, so I've
never even seen the gear to learn from. I'm thinking about reading up on
cisco.com and taking the test anyway, to see if it's doable.
