[c-nsp] Advice - CCNA Security certification

[Robert Maier]

first of all, you have to take the CCNA or ICND1+" Exams,otherwise the 
CCNA Security does not "count".

I´ve prepared myself with the official Certification Guide, but this 
does not cover all the exam stuff deep enough. So maybe a second book 
should be on your bucket list. Take also a moment to checkout the CCNA 
Security area at cisco learning network, when you are logged in ( a free 
account is fine for that) you can see the topics.

but i would not recommend buying an explicit IPS book, this topic is not 
covered in depth,also you ned no klowledge about PIX/ASA OS,all firefall 
topics are about IOS Firewalls (CBAC and also zonebased)
I recommend also to use the SDM as much as you can (maybe you have 
device which you can use for that, but GNS3 or even the simulator is OK) 
because there are many questions and simulation with that.
