If you can quit your job and have the discipline to study, that would
be a very sweet deal.  If I could have done that, I probably would
have.  Now the thing that I will caution is that it is very easy to
under estimate the CCIE Exam.  I am surprised by the amount of time
that I have invested at this point.  In any case, I would put together
a game plan and schedule and stick to it.

> SCENARIO :
>
>
>
> *         I have simple NAC setup with 1 NAC MGR "CAM" and 1 NAC SRVR "CAS"
>
>
> *         My users are running network 10.10.10.x/24 , and I wanna implement 
> in L2 VG mode. Both NAC MGR and NAC SRVR can ping each other.
>
>
> *         CAM VLAN 55 = 10.10.55.x/24 , and CAS VLAN 66 = 10.10.66.x/24
>
>
> *         NAC MGR "CAM"  has only 1 cable going to the core switch and NAC 
> SRVR has 2 cables going to the core switch ( one is trusted trunk end and 
> another is untrusted trunk end) . Created two VLANS 999 and 998 and put each 
> of them on each link as blackhole prevention mechanism described in Cisco 
> docs.
>
>
> *         I have a Windows 2008 DHCP Server who is giving the pool of IPs for 
> users from 10.10.10.x/24 and it is working fine. Routing in the core switch 
> is also ok.
>
> *         I have SSH and web access to both CAM and CAS boxes.  They are also 
> updating online smoothly.
>
>
> *         From the GUI, I have created the AV Rules also and CAM shows CAS as 
> connected as well !!!!  My version is 4.1.8  (upgraded from 4.1.3 )
>
> INT VLAN 100 (USER VLAN)  SVI is on core switch = 10.10.10.254 /24
>
> INT VLAN 55 ( MGMT ) SVI is on core switch = 10.10.55.254/24
> INT VLAN 66 (MGMT) SVI is on core switch = 10.10.66.254/24

> PROBLEM :-

> 1.       I am not able to download or get the NAC Client software MSI or stub

>
> 2.       I don't know how to start troubleshooting at this stage. Please note 
> that My client PC is windows XP machine and the port is already configured to

>
>
> I have 1 CORE switch only and my NAC boxes and client are connected to the 
> same CORE switch.
