640-554 notes to come soon for those who want an outline for their studies

Just checking in guys to let you know I plan to take the NA Security in the next couple of weeks as I have just finished Chris Bryant's videos. I would probably go for it sooner, but I have promotion testing due within this next week, so I'm caught in between two lines of studying. Here are my goals in the next couple of weeks:
-(Currently) Overviewing the lab guide (While playing with CCP a couple more times. I'm used to the CLI)
-Run through OCG and brush up on that which is still foreign to me
-Rewrite all the notes I already wrote in my notebook on Evernote so it will stick and share.
I'll post the link as I accumulate the bulk of the notes. Probably won't be all in one setting, but I'll try laying it out in an appropriate order.
I'd like to say thanks to this forum for all the support and unsurpassed troubleshooting skills! You guys rock!

Thats great you will be sharing notes as well. I am just starting CCNA security today actually. I heard it only uses CCP and is more of an multiple guess type of test. Is that correct?
#ip http server (Or ip http secure-server if you add ssh. I'd just stick with telnet)
#ip http authentication local
#username *username* privilege 15 (You MUST have privilege 15 for it to work) secret *password*
#line vty 0 4
#login local
There is documentation to get this working on the net. Just type "CCP in GNS3" and you should have something come up. If I can I'll add a tutorial when I write the notes.
One thing I did not find in the OCG that I found in the exam topics on Cisco's website is PVLANs (Private VLANs). Make sure you check that out as well.
Configuring Isolated Private VLANs on Catalyst Switches - Cisco
Basically, private vlans are a L2 feature that allows you to prevent communication to some devices and allow to others (Not necessarily on the same vlan).
-Promiscuous ports can communicate with everyone (Also called "primary" private vlan)
-Community ports can communicate with promiscuous ports and themselves
-Isolated ports can ONLY communicate with promiscuous ports
I'll add it into my notes, but I don't think they require the configs. Just the concept.
Well if your name comes from where I think it comes... I believe the force has been strong with you as well looking at your cert track @Master of Puppets. I hunt, therefore I am!
FYI notes are almost complete. Got VPN, IPv6, and defense-in depth to complete and that should be it. Book overview is two-thirds complete. CCP overview about halfway.
You obviously know what you will need for the exam so I don't think there is anything I can add besides emphasasing on being comfortable with CCP because it really is needed for the test.

Update: CCP labbing's been consistent. Gonna do a little more labbing and overview the vids, books and notes before the test next Thursday.

labbing came in handy though!
For me, I basically setup a router on GNS3 and applied EVERYTHING to the router I could (Making sure I didn't lock myself out with either the audit wizard or the firewall lol
