CCSP anyone?

[rburke]

Hello everyone.. I'm back!

I've decided to start studying for the CCSP exam after my downtime due to work and school. Now that all of that is done with (school that is) I have some more free time to continue my Cisco studies. I would like to get my CCSP and then either while I'm working on the CCSP or shortly after work on my CCNP. Currently I have my CCNA but I have a good amount of experience. I just wanted to see if anyone in the community is working on the CCSP or has recently worked on it. If so, is what test order did you follow? What kind of lab did you build up? I have serveral 2500 series routers and a 4500 and 3620. Plus I have a Cat 5505, 2924-XL-EN, PIX-501 and 506. Do you think I need to invest in any other equipment for these tests towards CCSP? Any strongly recommended study material?

Suggestions and/or tips are always welcome.

whats up rburke ..i'm working on it also..
...took the secur test last week..missed it by 4 points..

..i'd say you have all the necsary hardware....

how much flash and dram do you have on that 2524?

with your pix's ...you can set up a many vpn labs (ipsec,ike and other goodies)...

getting back to my test i failed...it comprised of 5 parts..
...i got 100,100,98,79 and 62 on AAA....
...because i lacked the CS ACS (90 day trail downloadable software you can load on your windows 2000 server {get it from cisco website [if you have access]})..i did not get the lab exposure...

the reason i asked bout the 2524...you will have to 'lab-up' on cisco's ios firewall. i'm seeing different memory requirements...but if you have 16flash,16dram... i might be able to help you there....

..anyway..tired of writting probably not making since..
..if you are interested in networking and combine resources...i might could help you and like wise..
..hit me
