in CCNP
I'm excited to say that I passed TSHOOT today. I'm also very happy to have achieved my CCNP.
The exam was very easy compared to the other 2 on the track. Some of the problems were really simple and I wasted some time wondering whether I was missing something because the answers were so obvious.
Finally, next is CCNP Security. I'm thinking of doing FIREWALL -> VPN -> IPS -> SECURE. I have hands-on with all of these except on IPS(my experience there is limited). The plan was to start reading the FIREWALL ocg tomorrow but I don't know who I was kidding with that
I can't wait so I'm starting as soon as I finish this post. My level going into this is somewhat decent. In other words, I'm not starting from scratch. I work on a lot of ASAs but I plan to take my time and even get sidetracked along the way if I find something interesting that's not on the exam. I'm going to be quite happy if I can pass FIREWALL before the end of the year.

My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.

Thanks gang!
Any recommendations regarding prep material for the NP in Sec? I've got the ocg, quick reference and cbt for all 4 exams but I was wondering whether someone has other suggestions.Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity.
