RE: FW: PIX advanced exam [7:24478]
None, because there have not been any until recently, check out: Cisco Press - Cisco Secure Internet Security Solutions. I did it the hard way, bought a 506, 515 & 520 and got loads of hands on experience. There is also a lot of theory in the exams about IKE, IPsec etc so for this use cco and finally went on the PIX traing courses which helped to clarify any misunderstandings. As to the courses forget the basics just go for the advanced course as there is way to much overlap in the courses.

RE: FW: PIX advanced exam [7:24478]
I agree with Matthew above. I am taking the Advanced PIX tomorrow and fortunely I had the course materials so All I needed to do was study that. Honestly speaking, that Cisco Secure Internet Security Solutions is damn good! I use it to enforce what I learned from the official training materials. It is very percise. Given that my boss has passed all 4 tests and taught the official MCNS course I have simply followed his recommendations and it always works. Know the points from the following link: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/10/wwtraining/certprog/testing/current_exams/9E0-571.html They aren't joking when they list the points to study for. On each point make sure that you know the theory and know the real commands. Then read the official training materials. Then read Cisco Press After that if you got the money and you are still worried, get Boson. This also assumes that you are working with PIXs everyday. I just had my PAT-VPN-PIX nightmare solved and it was with a solution which Cisco said would not work!

RE: FW: PIX advanced exam [7:24478]
I took the test today and failed. 731 but 751 necessary. I can not believe that I failed it. I thought I had studied everything perfectly and with work and all There is a secret section...I can not say it because of that stupid NDS but that it not been for that one section I would have passed. just on that section I got 33%. Of well, I can take it again on Monday. Why is this so much the case? Every time I take these tests I am always like 20 or 30 points away on the first attempt. I even took the CISSP. Got 682 but 700 was necessary out of 1000 points and 225 questions. Another weekend poor because all of my money is going to these tests and lonely because all I do is study study study. Blah!

Theodore If you want some extra pointers from a CCSI on this stuff contact me offline, obviously we keep within the NDA, but I may be able to help.
