hi,
I passed ccie security lab yesterday. I was told that i did really well in
the lab and scored nearly perfect.
My advice to the folks preparing for this lab is the following,
- ccie security is very modern test. in my opinion, much more real life than
routing and switching test today
- it is certainly doable if you put your dedicated time and equipment to it
- i studied and crammed labs for about 150 hours total between CSS1(cisco
security specialist 1) and ccie security and took me little less than three
months to accomplish both.
- if you are ccie routing and switching, you are half way there
- if you are ccnp (practical, not book one), then you are 30% there
- if you are css1 (practical, not book one), then you are 30% there
- routing and switching is core of all three ccie tracks (r/s, security and
CNS). you must know it very well
- read MCNS book three times before you start on CCIE security labs
- bookmark cisco's security tac site,
<http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/>
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/ make it your homepage while preparing
for ccie security lab
- work on speed. go back to the lab and test it as a one piece
- scan through the whole lab start to finish two times. be careful not to
spend more than 10-15 minutes though.
- hardest part is to wait for results email. make sure you plan something
hectic the next day of your test. i was on email every second and it was not
fun to wait.
