Hell, that isn't my issue -- You forgot the 4200 series IPS that costs
thousands of dollars even on ebay : )

You mean other than 4 3750's, 2 ASA's, 4 IOS ROUTERS with ADVANCED SECURITY
IOS, 1 Cisco Secure ACS Server and cisco.com<http://cisco.com>?

Hello all,

I write to you a bit frustrated and seeking your advice. I got my CCIE R&S
in 2009 and I would now like to pursue my CCIE security. I am however
finding that there aren't as many resources available for the security
track as there are for R&S. I have realised I am not quite there for a
bootcamp yet. I have the books for the recommended reading but I find,
unless I have the equipment I get nowhere. (short attention span maybe)

I have looked around and I see a lot of Video on Demands offered by
vendors. I wanted to know, in your respective opinions, how good these VOD
are? which vendor's VOD would give me the most knowledge, take me from
basic concepts and dive into more complex ones.

I know this is a very controversial topic at times as there are many
vendors present on this mailing list. The intent of this e-mail is not to
cause any "drama"

As always your advice is much appreciated.

Thank you,
Usama
