hi, I passed ccie security lab yesterday. I was told that i did really well in the lab and scored nearly perfect. My advice to the folks preparing for this lab is the following, - ccie security is very modern test. in my opinion, much more real life than routing and switching test today - it is certainly doable if you put your dedicated time and equipment to it - i studied and crammed labs for about 150 hours total between CSS1(cisco security specialist 1) and ccie security and took me little less than three months to accomplish both. - if you are ccie routing and switching, you are half way there - if you are ccnp (practical, not book one), then you are 30% there - if you are css1 (practical, not book one), then you are 30% there - routing and switching is core of all three ccie tracks (r/s, security and CNS). you must know it very well - read MCNS book three times before you start on CCIE security labs - bookmark cisco's security tac site,
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/ make it your homepage while preparing for ccie security lab - work on speed. go back to the lab and test it as a one piece - scan through the whole lab start to finish two times. be careful not to spend more than 10-15 minutes though. - hardest part is to wait for results email. make sure you plan something hectic the next day of your test. i was on email every second and it was not fun to wait. -Keyur Shah- CCIE# 4799 (Routing/Switching and Security) CSS1,SCSA,SCNA,MCSE,MCP,MCP+I,CNE,MCNE,CCNA,CCDA,MCT,CNI Hello Computers "Say Hello To Your Future!" http://www.hellocomputers.com E-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Toll-Free: 1.877.79.Hello (43556) Europe: 442079003011 International: 510.795.6815 Fax: 510.291.2250 Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=23386&t=23386 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
