I've been after this one for about 3 months, and am fortunate enough to use five-pairs of ASA appliances in day-to-day duties, 5520's, 40's and 50's. IPSec VPN's, the AnyConnect SSL Client, certificates... own it all. I mostly used the Cisco Academy "Securing Networks with Cisco ASA Advanced" courseware, and cisco docs filled in the gaps, according to the blueprint. I've very familiar with MPF as it relates to ACE modules, and found that helped a lot with a couple questions on MPF application on the ASA, cause we really don't do much of it on our ASA's, except priority queue on one pair of firewalls for UC. Hey, like I said, just the IPS exam left. Gotta ask again, what did you SP's use to study for this bad boy? Unfortunately, we use TopLayer IPS's in our network, so this is gonna be the worst exam for me of them all... nothing to physically play with. Preciate any pointers to good material to get ready for this one.
