I think you've noticed the dilemma of the security lab changes!

Layer 2 Transparent firewalls are specifically mentioned under PIX/ASA
Firewalls, NOT the IOS Firewall.

For NAC, the reference is quite generic and what I would therefore
anticipate is that the PIX and/or ASAs will be your choke point for NAC
testing. NAC commands were introduced in 7.2(1), which certainly falls in
that "7.x" specified on the web page.

ter09186a008066ebb8.html

On the VPN Concentrator, 4.7 introduced NAC features (4.7, 4.71, 4.72) and
those are on that list of OS versions as well.

So my thought is that IOS will not be doing NAC at this point in time.

Subject: Security Lab Exam Blueprint, year 2007

Hello group,

I'm sorry to bother you guys with a minor question, but has anyone noted
some discrepancy in new security blueprint and lab equipment software
versions?

<lab equipment>
 Software Versions Cisco IOS Software Version 12.2T
Enterprise/IPSec/FW/IDS*feature set is used on all routers

< /lab equipment>

IOS version is 12.2T.
And, for instance, lab exam topic:

<blueprint2007>
...
Network Admission Control (NAC Framework solution) ...
</blueprint2007>

NAC is supported in IOS only since 12.3(8)T

Does anyone have more information on the subject. I'm especially worried
with IOS versions, which *really* make big difference (e.g. IPS, L2
transparent firewall, VTI, etc, etc, etc).

I also sent a letter to ccie-lab@cisco.com but Cisco guys are usually slow
in response and probably too busy to answer such questions ;)

Thanks in advance,
