In my own lab a I have a 506. I would like to have another pix with a dmz interface. I am sure pretty sure they will cover pix to pix and dmz in the ccie security. But even on ebay to buy a 520 with three interfaces usually runs over $2k. I have a full lab at home - atm, token ring, isdn, frame - ten routers and three switches. Another $2k to $3k for a pix with three interfaces is beyond my reach.
So how do you practice pix to pix and dmz? >From: "Scott Morris" >Reply-To: >To: "'Wes Stevens'" >Subject: RE: How to get the activation key for my clone Pix? >Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2002 08:32:24 -0500 > >Somebody's already been selling 'em on EBay. > >And I never said legal action should be brought against anyway...
