Denyip have passed the CCIE security Written exam, and these are some study experience.
My approach is theory – lab – theory at this stage.. For example when did study for TACACS+… First I went through RFC, security books chapters than did simple labs with debugs etc.. than I reviewed theory again.
My MAIN resources for theory part are:
1) RFC
You can use this search engine a find proper RFC for Radius, Ldap, IPsec… There is lot of valuable informations
2)CCBOOTCAMP’s 2008 Cisco CCIE Security Written Study Guide
For my studies I bought its with Quick reference sheet only one CCIE written book on the market. I bought ebook with 24 Hour Print Option – I printed all pages immediately after downloading
Authors of that book are Colby LeMair (CCIE 12968 from Cisco), Farrukh Haroon (network engineer from middle east – CCSP studying for CCIE – little bit strange for me but why not) and Brad Elis (CCIE 5796 CEO of Network learning)
I think book is very good written – all topics from the written blue print are covered pretty well. It has 565 pages. The book table of contents is similar as blueprint for written . In the end of every chapter is set of tough questions…
Its quite old book but really well written and there are few great section (like AAA, IPSEC, GRE, IOS firewall)
If I need some configuration examples or some guide I search Cisco web … It doesnt apply for all topics but there is few really good documents for written exam
5) CCIE Security Exam Quick Reference Sheets
Its really quick reference , but I plan use it in final stage when you need quick review of all topics.
Yeah, if you are learning the ccie security, maybe you can get something.
