Materials for CCNA Security

[Deleted User]

Hey guys
So since my CCNA R&S is done (feels great btw) I am gathering study materials for the CCNA Security I plan on taking in 2017. I currently have 2 1841s with 384MB and 64MB flash and 3 2950s and 3 throw away routers. I'm just looking to get experience with CCP and get used to interface. O also have the official cert guide, live lessons DVD and Chris Bryants videos. Since I used Boson Netsim it is time to get some good equipment. Will the materials I have get me through the cert or will I need to upgrade. I also have CCP on a disc so that is no problem.

What version of the IOS do you have?

Running version 15 on both routers.

My Bad on that one. Are you using the base license or the security license. Do a " show version " and " show license feature " there re a few thing you can't do with out the security version of the IOS. Also please paste the results.

Let me power on my routers and check. With my new RAM/Flash upgrade, I will need to check that they are working properly.

I looked and I saw the k9 so I believe this is a security image. Is that what you mean? I will have to power on my routers tomorrow. Also, if that is not the case, how can I get a hold of a security based image to tftp or xmodem to my 1841s?

Razio, why did you copy and say everything I said in my previous post. It doesn't make any sense why you did that.

Just found out my 64MB flash memory I bought has failed. It will boot into Rommon mode when I put it in but when I switch back to 32MB flash, it boots IOS properly (POST, Bootstrap etc.) everything. Well, at least I got this flash for free since it didn't arrive on time and I will just have to order some new flash memory.

did you do a dir flash: at the rommon prompt to see what is on the flash card

DCD

That is correct you need the security image for the routers. The base image is missing some option you will need.

So I checked the flash and when I run dir flash, nothing happens and no output is displayed. I gave it to my friend to see with his router and he had the same problem.

it is dir flash: you do need the colon at the end. I was just thinking of checking if there was an ios on the cf. even if there wasn't one, it should tell you the size of the flash though.
