Hello,
I recently looked at the CCNA Security Exam Cram book. While thumbing through it, my impression is that it has the same material as the Cisco Press book but perhaps in a more readable format. I didn’t spend a whole lot of time looking at it though. Would you recommend it over the Cisco Press book?
Does the Exam Cram book make any suggestions on a lab setup? The Cisco Press book doesn't. Any thoughts on a lab setup to play with while studying for the CCNA Security cert?
I have a 3560 at my desk at work that I've played with for the AAA setup and a 2620XM at home I've used to play with SDM. I've only gotten to chapter 10 so far in the Cisco Press book so I'm not sure what else I'll run into that I can practice implementing.
Thanks,
Rob
My book doesn't make any specific suggestions for a CCNA lab setup. Would I recommend my book over the Cisco Press book? It depends. As an exam preparation guide it's hard to beat but even though it stands by itself pretty well as a good overall read, the Cisco Press book is better as a self-contained study of the topics. They're both published by the same publishing house (Pearson Ed) so the quality control is similar.
