RE: CCIE Security Lab Workbook Advice

The current versions of the IPExpert SP / Security
proctor guides do not have questions answered as "this
should be self-explanatory".

Internetwork Expert shows their updated Security
version as "Coming Spring 2007" and do not list a
"class on demand" for security on their website, so
it's interesting that you are recommending products
that don't exist yet.

As far as the IPExpert updated security WB, I believe
that it is either already shipping, or shipping in the
next few days, depending on when orders were placed.
You would have to check with the sales team to know
for sure.
