RE: Hardware requirement for CCIE LAB security

You can lab up the majority of the security lab as long as you have a
computer with a good CPU and a lot of RAM.

The routers can use GNS3 or Dynamips. (run 12.4T on a 3700)

The AAA server can run inside of a VM image.

IPS can run inside of a VM image. (google "ccie ips vmware" or something
similar - also check out 7200emu.hacki.at)

Most of the ASA features can be practiced by using a PIX in GNS3

The VPN client can go inside a VM image

This won't be perfect as you won't be able to do ASA failover, ISR-only
features and some other things as well but this will give you most of
what you need.

  Hello GS,

  I am looking forward to setup my CCIE security hardware Lab and would
  like
  to know the ( FW/routers/switches) requirements and if possible few
  lab
  scenarios.

  Also would be grateful if you could let me know if we can setup this
  lab on
  GNS3 .

  Highly appreciate your efforts.

  Regards,
  Akber Mirza.
