Hi all, I am a newbie to posting here and am unsure of the conventions etc, so please bear with me Looking for SF Bay Area study partners for Security CCIE lab. I recently finished the Security Specialist tests and Security qualifier 350-018 that just came out, and plan to fail the lab in early August. I'll be putting 50 % of my time for next 6 weeks into preparation and would love to do some cooperative team work. Mostly concerned about CCIE Security lab preparation, but open to working with people focused on any of the Security Specialist tests, especially if you have software we could use to demonstrate IDS, ACS on Unix etc. I am something of a Cisco Newbie, and have little hands on Cisco time, but I am comfortable with the theory and concepts. I am actually mostly a evil Win 2000 MCSE instructor, and I am really studing Cisco so I can do a better job teaching the advanced Microsoft networking and security classes. My home lab has a ratty PIX and some misc 2500's I would cheerfully kill to gain some insight into what the lab will be like, and the amount of hands on knowledge of Unix needed, ( I am sad to admit I am a Unix idiot ) Does anyone know if we will be using our own RADIUS, TACACS, ACS or NT ACS for Unix servers in our own racks for the lab or will be access common servers for the entire lab or will Cisco emphasize just communications between routers and PIX boxes. What about CAs, will we use one per rack, one for the entire lab or will the lab demonstrations just emphasize preshared keys Are they looking for a clear understanding of fundamentals of IPSEC or will they go into manual key exchanges, dynamic policies etc. I don't mind failing the lab the first time but I'd like to avoid extreme embarrasment Hope others have similiar concerns Thanks Drew Gansmiller [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=10565&t=10565 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
