Kingsley/All,
Sorry I was away on Vacation last week so I am trying to catch up on a lot
right now. I sent the following to a student recently. (I have edited it a
bit to include some updates and things that I think are important.)
Here are my recommendations
1. Read Network Security Technologies and Solutions (Yusuf Bhaiji, CCIE
Security Program Manager). Although the book does not go into great depth for
the technologies it covers I think it is invaluable for you to be aware of the
various technologies covered by the exam. This book is perfect for preparing
for the written exam.
2. Begin working on Volume 1 Technology Focused Scenarios. As you study
take the blueprint and create a checklist of the blueprint topics. Use this
checklist to note details our material is covering and compare it to the
blueprint and use it as a guide in understanding how your knowledge is
progressing.
3. Attend the 5 Day ILT Course. This will really help to solidify the
knowledge you have been gaining working thru the technology focused labs.
4. Begin work on the Volume 2 Mock Labs. These should give you a good
feel of what you should expect going into the Lab exam.
5. By this time I should have an updated video for the Video on Demand,
and you can use this to continue to refresh yourself on the information you
learned attending the bootcamp
6. Attend a OWLE. This one is very beneficial but at this point it can
be a pretty expensive journey so if money is a restraint this is the one that I
would say based on cost you could continue without but there is no question it
would greatly benefit you.
7. If you do the OWLE I recommend it to be 2 to 4 weeks before the actual
exam. You would use this time to solidify your knowledge and work out any week
points.
8. Get the Labs of Yusuf Bahaji,
http://www.ciscopress.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=1587140268, and do them.
Take the time to read thru the explanations as he gives a great amount of
detail on how the test is graded and gives good detail on the labs themselves
which will help you in better preparation for the lab.
9. Take the Exam.
We also are going to release a study guide that is a bunch of notes taken from
the Documentation CD and condensed into a 50 page study guide that covers a lot
of advanced configuration details and should greatly benefit you in studying
for the exam. (These are the notes of one of our students, Piotr Kaluzny’s,
that he used in studying for the exam and I was really impressed by the amount
of material and information available so I wanted to make them available for
everyone else.) These will be a free update to everyone that has bought the
blended learning solution.
I should have these notes available for existing customers within a day or two.
The rest of these books I recommend but don’t need to be read in any particular
order. You can use them as reference material thru your studies
Cisco ASA (Omar Santos) – This is one that I am going to pick up and may be
even better than the Cisco ASA, PIX, and FWSM book I was recommending earlier.
I have not read this one.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/netsol/ns617/networking_solutions_sub_solution_home.html.
I recommend reading the NAC Framework configuration guide. I personally
learned a ton from this document on NAC. I would recommend this over the
Network Admission Control Volume II: NAC fraemework.
SSL Remote Access VPN’s (Frahim/Huang). The book concentrates a lot on SDM and
ASDM which isn’t very helpful for the test so it is difficult because you can’t
use these in the test. But there are a lot of new features for SSL VPN that
are only supported from GUI. So you can use the book to find out how to do
things from GUI and then go to command line and see how it was implemented.
Cisco Router Firewall Security. Personally I have not read this book but it
comes highly recommended even though it is a little out of date.
