Congratulations!!! Great job passing on your first try!

Are you going to relax at all before starting Security? :)

Your main differences are:

PIX-515e
ASA-5510 (two of these)
VPN3005
IPS-4215

You can also drop two of your switches if you want, there's only two on the
security exam now.

Or, instead of purchasing all of the equipment (newer things or security
things tend not to be as cheap on Ebay!), you can look at simply renting
rack time from one of the places that has security racks. Check out
www.proctorlabs.com and you'll find a full suite of stuff there for your
security equipment.

At least let the hangover wear off before doing another lab! :)

Congrats again!!!

Hi GS,

I've passed CCIE in sdyney last friday and this is my first try.
And I'd really like to thank this great group and all people who helped me,
especially to Scott Moris, ian and achieve_woo.

The materials I studied are Internetwork Expert ,Ipexpert and bootcamp. And
I found Internetwork Expert is very good one to practise and it has good
answers and explanations. The key things I'd like to share in the real lab
are:

1. Draw a clear diagram including ip address and IGP information, because
this will help you troubleshooting.
2. Do it slowly and carefully. I spent 7 hours to finish my lab and I read
each word in paper. Some questions are implicit and you need to think
carefully or ask proctor. The proctor was very nice to me and helpful.
3. Veryfication and test are very important. Make sure you did right
configuration which don't conflict to previous configuration.
4. Then good luck in lab.

Now I am tryig to get my second CCIE security and I checked a equipment list
on Cisco website, but it is too general. I've got R&S equipments and can
someone give me some suggustion on buying a security lab equipments?

Thanks again to group,

CCIE#17809
