RE: Cisco Security Exam [7:19249]
Hi Steven To do the full Cisco Security thing you must take 5 exams as follows and preferably in this order MCNS Pix Firewall Fundamentals Pix Firewall Advanced Cisco Secure VPN Cisco Intrusion Detection The reason for this approach as I always tell my staff students is that the MCNS is comprehensive and gives you a great deal of material in the other exams, especially the area of IKE, IPsec, ISAKMP etc. Books Cisco Press Managing Cisco Network Security Designing Network Security Cisco IOS 12.0 Network Security Cisco Secure Internet Security Solutions There is also the McGraw Hill Implementing Cisco Secure VPN's but that is so full of holes and errors I would not bother. There is a book from cisco Press on VPN's due late 2001 written by Andrew Mason Terri Smith and if it is half as good as Terri is as a VPN course instructor then it will be well worth the money. The odd one out is CSIDS which requires a deal of Unix knowledge especially Solaris, plus some Openview stuff. The key to all the exams is understand fully IKE, ISAkmp and the security process of why how. If you have not done CCNP or the BCRAN part of CCNPO then i wopuld recommend you take a look at it as background to the IOS side of security. Good luck and if you need any further specific info email me direct.

RE: Cisco Security Exam [7:19249]
Last year, passing MCNS gave you a specialization in security if you had your CCNP or CCDP but since has changed and you must pass all the exams.. Last year I belive only the MCNS book was available to buy but since the exam format has changed, they are releasing more books.. I guess they found out that not everyone can go take all those classes... http://www.ciscopress.com/book.cfm?book=196 http://www.ciscopress.com/book.cfm?series=1book=82 http://www.ciscopress.com/book.cfm?series=1book=170 http://www.ciscopress.com/book.cfm?series=1book=79 Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=19259t=19249 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
