I completed this by self-study, and a moderate lab (3 routers at the time, a couple of PCs and the PIX 501). This sufficed for all but the IDS exam. For that, I built a FrankenIDS machine and created a Cisco Security Policy Manager to experiment/practice with. This allowed me to get a feel for that technology, although I would not recommend trying that exam without some sort of lab work. HTH
