Lab Question

spd3432

I put lab together a year and a half ago when I was working on my CCNA (3 routers and 3 switches). I'm planning on taking the CCNA Security exam next year to fill two CE requirements (CCNA and Security+). I've looked at the Cisco website on the exam requirements and it makes mention of firewalls. Without violating NDA, is the firewall portion completely covered by SDM (one of my 2600 XM routers has SDM) or should I pick up an ASA if I can get one cheap?

Thanks.

According to the Exam Blue Print

It covers the IOS Firewall, so any Cisco IOS with Advanced Security (and above) should be fine. An ASA should not be needed.

You shouldn't need an ASA until you start the CCNP Security.
