Preparing for SISAS

mitchflossin

Hey there!

I'm hoping to tackle SISAS in the next couple of months, and wondering if some of you experts could give me some advice.

I have the OCG and access to CBT Nuggets, but from what I've been reading, this may not be enough. I also have ISE at work, and am in the process of deploying it from the ground up.

Anyone have any thoughts on Baldev's videos on Udemy? Are they a good resource for any of the CCNP Security exams?

Are there any other resources I should look into? I appreciate any and all advice.

Thanks!

I almost purchased Baldev's videos, but I held off for now. They were on sale for $10, so I probably should have done it.

INE has a course for this exam, and labminutes.com has a ton of videos on ISE. TE member IrisTheAngel also has ISE content on her blog Networking fun

Cool. Thanks for the advice!

Still curious about Baldev's videos if anyone else has any thoughts on that

INE has a decent series for SISAS.

Deploying ISE from the ground up will cover most of the exam, TBH. INE's series is good. The OCG is good.

Thanks for all the advice guys - much appreciated!

Yeah, I got pretty lucky because I deployed 802.1x with ISE in a decent sized environment (11k nodes). Other than that, I didn't read a single book or take a single class. I went in and passed the exam after deploying ISE. I barely passed, but still.

Nice BuhRock.

I understand my concepts of ISE now. I have configured Authentication,Authorization, SSL certifcates, Adding it to the domain and couple of more things even before reading the book. I have CISCO ISE 1.4 patch 10 in Two node deployment.
I have configure Wifi policy with EAP-TLS. The plan is to do more with weird. I am reading the book now but I guess version 2.x is out and I am not sure how much it will effect the new exam as I am preparing for it. Any advice will be help ful.
