Hi Kevin, I'm looking at sitting my exam sometime around June-July due to work travel commitments, but I did want to let you know that Piotr and Narbik have released their Security V4 book which I got yesterday looks quite good so far over 2000 pages which covers everything listed in the blueprint.
I've also got the IPExpert v4 books on order but they are taking a while on that front, but at least now I can really start focusing on the WSA, ISE etc... and of course the new way of doing nat on the ASA in 8.3+ with Piotr/Narbik's book and then I should be able to test my abilities well against the IPExpert labs when they are released. Supposedly Proctorlabs was meant to have their new V4 racks out 3 days ago (according to their facebook post), but it's not up yet :( Cheers, Warrick On Wed, Feb 13, 2013 at 7:23 AM, Kevin Sheahan <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm scheduled to take the CCIE Security v4 lab on April 9th.
