My college just opened up a cisco security class, thats only 2 1/2 months long, its prereq is ccna 2 routers and routing basics, it doesn't require all 4 ccna classes, does this sound like a good time frame plus would it be best I just do all 4 first? I know for the certs you need a ccna before getting ccna:s but just curious.

You just need access to a supported IOS image with the proper feature set (probably at least the advsecurityk9) and at least version 12.4(6)T for the zone firewalls -- but 12.4(9)T or greater is even better.:mike: Cisco Certifications -- Collect the Entire Set!

jjbrog Member Posts: 149Thanks for the reply,. how about a pix firewall, would that be something I should invest in at all or is that more of a ccsp thing?
