Don't forget the IPS documentation. I actually use the ACS documentation a lot and find it very helpful. The more your familiar with the more helpful it will be with the lab.

There was no search, but the normal support stuff was available. reagards, bobby ----- Original Message ----- From: Jerome Dolphin <mailto:[email protected]> To: OSL Security <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2011 9:56 PM Subject: [OSL | CCIE_Security] Documentation access in the lab Hi Folks, I know this has been done to death, and I know Tyson posted a question to Yusuf ( https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/136214?tstart=0 <https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/136214?tstart=0&viewcondensed> &viewcondensed ) and Yusuf responded stating that tech notes, config gudies and command references are available in the lab. But, a colleague recently say the CCIE Security lab and said that the documentation access is heavily filtered and much of the useful content is not available. I think Tacack reported a similar experience some time ago.Does anyone else have any recent experience with this?
