hey jerome et al - my first post here :) ... when i FIRST took the lab back in v2.0, i was very careful about what documentation to practice using. i had practiced and practiced with ASA and IOS docs but had forgotten switching really (had always referred back to books). i knew not to use "search" too so avoided it (i equate searching with a search engine - not that POS...)?
then there was some kind of request that i didn't know and had trouble finding it (specifically switch security-related). i found what i needed through the product navigator, but the IOS-based stuff is laid out like garbage (to this day i struggled to find it... :) ). i think i got taken to a deployment guide / white paper disguised as a config example and that was certainly off limits. i actually got really flustered and ended up asking the proctor what sites were allowed since it seemed contrary from what my study-mates and CCIEs AND the lab blueprint had said. i'll bet they were using IOS URL-filtering with regexs :p . needless to say i missed that one and spent way too much time on it and it probably affected me mentally more than it should've. long story short, now that i'm starting up again, a few days ago i started trying to memorize the clicks i needed. since you asked, i will propose the following click sequences... feel free to fill in any missing blanks or call me crazy! *starting here:* http://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/psa/configure.html *ASA* - > Products > Security > Firewall > Firewall Appliances > Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances - Configuration Guides - Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide, Version 8.0 *IOS* - > Products > Cisco IOS and NX-OS Software > Cisco IOS > Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4 Family > Cisco IOS Software Releases 12.4 T - Configuration Guides - Cisco IOS Network Management Configuration Guide (SNMP and NTP) - Cisco IOS Security Configuration Guide: Secure Connectivity (VPN) - Cisco IOS Security Configuration Guide: Securing User Services (AAA) - Cisco IOS Security Configuration Guide: Securing the Data Plane (FW and IDS) - Cisco IOS IP Routing: <ROUTING_PROTOCOL> (routing protocols) *SWITCH* - > Products> Switches > LAN Switches - Access > Cisco Catalyst 3750 Series Switches - Configure > Configuration Guides - Catalyst 3750 Switch Software Configuration Guide, 12.2(44)SE i intentionally left out ACS and VPNC because those docs will not be very helpful IMHO. hope this all helps!!! take care! andrew p.s. - i found this thread useful: https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2026168 On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 1:57 PM, Robert Gridley <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi , > > I had my first Lab experinece a week ago and I was able to use the most of > the support sites which you can see online.
