Hands-on preparation for the CCIE Security lab exam
CCIE Practical Studies: Security leads you through the requirements of the CCIE Security one-day lab exam by providing practical lab exercises designed to model complex security solutions. These lab scenarios help you to master the broad scope of technologies needed to succeed on the CCIE Security lab exam and provide you with a solid foundation of knowledge that you can apply to your everyday job as a network security expert.
Serving the dual role of expert-level network security reference and CCIE Security lab exam preparation tool, CCIE Practical Studies: Security begins with a review of routing and switching fundamentals and builds upon this foundation with more advanced requirements of modern network security technology. Each chapter contains technology overviews coupled with mini-lab scenarios that demonstrate practical application of the technology. The book concludes with a final chapter containing complete lab scenarios that integrate the concepts and technologies covered in all the earlier chapters. These comprehensive labs mimic the types of scenarios candidates face on the actual one-day lab exam.
CCIE Practical Studies: Security is part of a recommended study program from Cisco Systems that includes simulation and hands-on training from authorized Cisco Learning Partners and self-study products from Cisco Press.

I ordered this book in the hope that it would help me study for the CCIE Security Lab exam. I already have Soli's Practical Studies (both volumes). The beginning chapters in the book are related to Ethernet, ISDN, Routing Protocols etc. Don't expect the same level of detail for these topics here that you would find in Soli's book or in Jeff Doyle's book. Use those books to cover these topics. The security Practices (Part IV) of the book is why you bought this book.Being an instructor for almost all cisco security courses, I was disappointed by the level of detail in Chapters 14 through 17. But then, the book might be covering just what you need for your exam. In my opinion, you need Saadat Malik's book Network Security Principles and Practices. I would give that book 5 stars!. For me, the only chapters worth anything were Advanced VPNs (Chapter 20) and Chapter 26 (Sample Lab Scenarios -- which has eight scenarios). The VPN Concentrator, which now appears on the lab is...

This book came out right in time for me, just 2 months before my Security lab exam. I passed my lab (CCIE #8609 R&S and now Security also). The simulation labs at the end of the book have been extremely helpful. The contents are also right in line with the lab and the samples configs are a welcome addition.Two thumbs up!

Having passed your CCIE Security Qualification Exam, you'll need to spend some time preparing for the lab - no easy task, and with so little information around, you'll need all the help you can get. I bought this book on its release in July and have just passed the CCIE Security lab in Brussels. The lab was very difficult - and not to be underestimated. This book is close to the real thing and was an invaluable guide, and (with LOTS of practice) helped me to my goal. Above all, it helped me realise how under prepaired I would have been. I'm pretty sure that without this book, I would have failed the lab. The book has twenty-five chapters of background, followed by eight "Labs" for you to try for yourself. If you can master those in the time given, you'll be in a good position to tackle the real thing. There's the odd typo here and there, but is generally sound and well written, but should of course be suplimented by other material aswell. Good luck! |
