RE: CCSP Self-Study

["Robert Burnett" <roburnet () maxhealth com>]

I am currently studying for my CCSP, and I am starting with the exam
that focuses on PIX and ASA.  It is called the SNPA (Securing Networks
with PIX and ASA).

I am reading "CCSP SNPA Official Exam Certification Guide (3rd
edition)".  Looking at the Cisco website
(http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/le2/le37/le54/learning_certificat
ion_type_home.html), it appears that we have until October to take the
current version of the exam.  Then the new version becomes enforced.  If
you want to take the new version, then I would recommend you compare the
two lists of exam objectives and figure out which topics are new.  Then,
either research those topics using online resources, or wait for the 4th
edition of the study guide :)


Thanks,

Robert Burnett, CISSP, CCNA

Ramki,

Actually "Cisco Press" publishes books, look on Amazon.com and just
search for "cisco ccsp".


Dean,

What are the books I should be looking at - and what can I do to make
up the difference between them and the newer tests which include ASA
material?
