CCNA Security Done

in CCNA Security
Wrote the exam this morning, despite all of the weather issues. I had to drop the wife off at work, and then I thought I might be able to take it earlier today (was scheduled for 12:30), so I went by the testing center and it was CLOSED! So I called VUE and had it transfered to another nearby center and I sat it.

Not as bad as I had anticipated, but I did spend a lot of time preparing. Seems to map up well to the CCNA in that it is half general security concepts and half Cisco specific things.

    Congrats man!!! What were your study materials?

    I ask because I'm thinking of taking it May this year. Right now, I have Packet tracer, the IINS book by Paquet, Chris Bryant's study stuff, Skillport and soon VTE.

    the IINS book by Paquet

    How is it?

    So far all I've used is CBT Nuggets and the Steven Bowler labs I found on ebay.

    I primarily used the Cisco Press book and Skillport Live Learning. I also had access to CBT Nuggest and Train Signal; of the two, I think Train Signal was better, but I simply used that as background noise when I was doing other things, barely paying any attention. The VTE for CCNA Security is a version behind, but still relevant.

    EDIT: We appear to be going in opposite directions :) You are doing CEH -> CCNA Security -> CISSP... I have done CISSP -> CCNA Security and plan on doing CEH in April.

    The CBT Nuggets for this is amazing; I really should have took it a while back but priorities switched. The Paquet book is pretty good ( I only got through chapter 2). From what I'm hearing it takes you well beyond the CCNA Security curriculum.

    Sounds like I'll be in good shape when I switch gears! I didn't even realize that pattern until now :). I have to catch up to your Master's progress but I'm sure you'll graduate before me!

    LOL, get a load of this... I went to sit my project+ exam on Friday and they said they couldn't book my exam because 'The internet was down'... I told them I could fix it so they let me in :) saw that they couldn't even reach their default gateway, gave their cisco 831 a kick and it came back up... I sat and passed (thank god)...

    Congrats on the CCNA:Sec!!! and while I'm at it the CISSP!!!

    Regards,
