Now I am thinking to take CCIE Security Written followed by CCIE Security Lab exam. I am concerned about Lab equipment requirements, for example: How many ASA5500 boxes ? What model? What Licence type? Do I need IPS boxes or one with ASA5510-AIP10-K9 is enough to do the same job? What switches do I need and how many of them?? for example 3550 or 3560?? How many routers? I have 9x 2600XM series with 124/32 memory. Are they enough? I am willing to buy End-to-End CCIE Security package but I am in process of building my lab. But I am unable to make decidsion about ASA5500 box. So someone from IPexpert could advice me about them. Another thing I have also notice that PIX 515E with failover can do same job because it can run same ver 8.x and ASDM 6.x codes unless you really be tested on SSM-AIP and SSM-SCS modules. Can someone please explain about it too? Thanks JLee Hi

I'm also preparing for the Lab, with a CCNP and CCSP as background. The IPexpert BLS is focused on the Lab exam only. Your CCSP is a solid background for the CCIE Security written. I would recommand this book ISBN: 978-1587052460 for the written exam. Austin,

Also - I'm a CCSP, so i don't know IE level stuff - all the packages for sale are for the LAB, does anything cover the written part, or is that included and I am just missing something? I'm looking to buy one product and migrate from CCSP to CCIE Security over 6 to 12 months. Any help is appreciated from anyone.

The v3 lab BP is a superset of v2 - meaning you can start studying v2 material and be right on track to begin studying v3 material (and any changes therein) as soon as we release it. And as always we will release each Volume as we get it updated so that you don't have to wait for all Volumes to be updated before getting the materials in your hands. They should be releasing in the next few months - well before your lab date. -Mark @Stuart,
