15 days left…

July 31, 2008 By 2 Comments

15 days left till my lab and I’m coming up for air.

I played around last night and made some changes to the blog.  If you haven’t seen them here they are:

  1. Added the Subscribe Page to help inform people on how to follow this blog.
  2. Added the Contact Page.  If you want to get in touch please reach out to me.  I am always willing to take suggestions.
  3. Added the About Page.  Proof that I am a real person!
  4. Changed the Blogs Banner.  I think it looks pretty good.

I still need to get the banner on the right aligned to the left but that’s minor.  After I pass the lab I’ll work on the little details.

Last night was a waste

When I left my office last night I had made good enough progress in volume 1 of Internetwork Experts CCIE Security workbook. I really wanted to dig into VPN. Instead I build the default configurations for a few of the labs and saved them so I don’t have to build them every time and I edited this blog a little. I hope you like the new contact page, subscribe page, and about page. They kept me up until 12:30am.

Now on to VPN. The clock is ticking and there are only 15 days left until my lab!

16-days and I'm getting jittery.

Yes- I’m now sweating a little bit.  16 days….I’m so gonna bomb!  There is so much that I still feel like I need to learn or even re-learn.

So far this week I have gone over:

  • Rip authentication
  • OSPF authentication
  • Redistribution, Summarization, and Route Filtering
  • ACLs
  • Object Groups
  • Managing ICMP
  • NAT/PAT both static and dynamic
  • SSH, Telnet, and HTTP access
  • DNS Doctoring
  • Advanced Firewall Topics such as contexts, failover, arp inspection and transparent firewalls.
  • DHCP Server Config
  • Multicast with ASA/PIX
  • MPF and advanced Inspecition

Now its on to VPN.  The scary part is that the VPN section is from page 153 to 669.  Ugh!
On another note the material that I am working on this week comes from Internetwork Expert.  This Volume 1 is a beast of a book and is packed with a ton of mini-labs.  I am really enjoying it!
