| Hey Guys,
I passed the MCNS exam today the 640-100 version with 945/1000. I think the 642-501 would not have been much different as I read the sections of the Sybex - CCSP Securing Cisco IOS Networks Study Guide book as well.
I had booked the exam before it had retired. here is what I faced:
* IDS for IOS Firewalls
* Authentication Proxy for IOS Firewalls
* CBAC
* Easy VPN
2 simulations to configure IKE phase 1 and Tacacs servers as well.
IT is more theoretical based guys. PIX was tougher for me.
Tools I used to prepare:
1) Sybex - CCSP Securing Cisco IOS Networks Study Guide book.pdf
2) Boson test #1 ....way overkill of questions
3) Learnkey MCNS 6 CDs not the updated version...so I skipped the sections on PIX. BUt it gave good overview on the areas. Mr. Storm talks a bit fast though.
SO thats my two cents.
It's now off to CSIDS the old version, which coincidentally Expires today for registration..I think.
There's no new material for the CSIDS 4.0 readily available so I will take this for now. |
