in CCNP
I bought the discount voucher from getcertify4less.com and scheduled my ISCW for the 9th at 1:15. There is a testing center two lights down from my work so I'll take an extended lunch. Wish me luck!! I've used my home lab, Transcender, CBTNuggets, the CCNP Quick Reference book, and I read the CCNP library book twice. I also have been using the Cisco web site a lot. I also had to configure an IPsec tunnel to connect two of my cousin's company's sites together so that was helpful. I love ISRs. The SDM is really convenient as well.

*****update*****

I passed today. The testing center was pretty nasty. I'd equate it to a goodwill for IT testing. The mouse kept breaking and the machine lagged like crazy. They didn't take my picture like I've heard a lot of people had to do. It was A LOT tougher than I thought. I finished the test with 1 minute and 44 seconds to go. I underestimated this guy. Let's just say surprises are in store... Anyway, here's my score report:


Score: 815

Implement Basic teleworker services - 50%
Implement Frame-Mode MPLS - 71%
Implement a site-to-site IPSec VPN - 77%
Describe network security strategies - 100%
Implement Cisco Device Hardening - 66%
Implement Cisco IOS firewall - 66%
Describe and configure Cisco IOS IPS - 87%

    As always, thanks Mike! I think I will take a week off in between. I was trying to finish this whole cert within the year, but I'm thinking ONT will be like late January, early February.

    it definitely does!! It's been 10 months of nonstop work and dedication, but it'll be worth it.
