Hello guys,

I hope you CISCO gurus, can help me out with this. I'll write CISSP exam this coming March 20th, and I have just realized that my CCNA is EXPIRED soon which is 24th February 2004 ===> in about 3 weeks time.

Now, I know I would have to take either a CCNA recert exam or any exam that has 642- prefix. The problem is how can I pass any 642 exam within 3 weeks time frame? I have a strong background in security field, so I would like to ask you guys for an advice on this. Which 642 exam might be the EASIEST to tackle? I need to study for the one that talks alot more about security, rather than one that concentrates heavily on configuring Cisco commands/syntax. I have no problems with basic Cisco commands and such (CCNA stuff + strong knowledge of access control list)

Please help, my time is running out . Thank you very much for reading this message, and wish you guys all the best of luck (with whatever exams you guys are preparing for right now).

Within that time frame, I feel that the test you take depends on your current familiarity with the devices tested and your background on those devices.

For instance, if you have a Cisco router background, I'd take the SECUR 642-501 test. If your background is Cisco PIX, take the CSPFA. If you have a VPN background, take CSVPN, etc, etc, etc....
