Not what I hoped or expected from CiscoPress February 3, 2006 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
CiscoPress's "CCSP Cisco Secure VPN Exam Certification Guide" by Roland and Newcomb is described as the `Official self-study' test prep guide for a Cisco's VPN exam. Being a CCSP myself, and have implemented/utilized both the Cisco VPN client and Cisco 3000 series Concentrators - I can offer this piece of advice from experience - WATCH OUT!
I purchased this book hoping to enhance my knowledge of Cisco's use of VPNs. I was hoping to use the book to help me on my CCSP path and for professional use. Unfortunately, I really didn't discover too many new tidbits. The best chapter in the book is probably the 2nd chapter - which gives an overview of VPN and IPSec technologies. After this, where the book starts to describes how to implement VPNs on 3000s and Firewalls - the text starts to go downhill.
For example, I found the following typos disconcerting:
- On page 139, 3rd paragraph - the description on how to reboot is wrong - you must select Reboot ignoring the configuration file option.
- On page 237, 2nd paragraph - the concentrator checks that the serial number is NOT listed on a CRL.
There are many more areas of questionable descriptions. I wish I could write better of this book. If one is looking for CiscoPress documentation on VPNs, I suggest to look at "Network Security Principals and Practices" by Malik (ISBN: 1587050250).
I give this book 3 pings out of 5: !!..!
...not enough to pass exam April 20, 2004 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I read this book cover to cover 4 times, and thought I had the exam in the bag. However, there were many questions and concepts presented on the 642-511 exam, that are not even mentioned in this study guide. One would think getting Cisco certified materials, would ensure the proper tools to achieve positive results... decent information in the book, but the practice CD is full of errors and inconsistancies that conflict with the books content. Don't count on this book to pass the exam.....
CCSP Cisco Secure VPN Exam Certification Guide January 15, 2004 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Like other Cisco Press materials, this book does not cover the subject material in entirety if you are looking to pass the associated exam. I found this book lacking some in content, however this is remedied by going to Cisco's site for more information. I found the examples and illustrations to be very helpful, especially since there is a lot of GUI work with the concentrator software. This book coupled with resources on Cisco's site should adequately prepare the reader for the exam. The accompanying study CD with this book needs some serious attention, as it has numerous errors and I felt the content was only fair. Coverage of the 3002 hardware client is missing, yet heavily emphasized on the CSVPN 642-511 exam. If you have a good working knowledge of the current Cisco VPN product line and technology, you should do fine with just this book as your guide. However if this is the only material you are studying from and do not have experience with the concentrators or client software, make certain you take in as much info off from Cisco's site as you can. Overall I would rate this Cisco Press publication a 3+ out of 5, due to the fact there is a lot of material that isn't covered, and the accompanying CD seems to have a high number of inconsistencies. Compared to the PIX Firewall Advanced book, also from Cisco Press, this book is definitely inferior. I found that book to be much better organized and detailed compared to the Cisco Secure VPN book. I felt the authors knew the material however maybe could have added more information to include the latest VPN devices and client software; especially in the detail necessary to pass Cisco's tough exams.
Too Many Errors December 7, 2003 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I would have expected more coming from Cisco Press. This book is riddled with errors. What's worse yet is that the Boson practice test uses this book for reference; thereby making the Boson error prone as well. This practice software is bad too. I am very very disappointed with this material. I could have done a better job myself. If you are studying for the CCSP PIX exam, you're better off just using the material on Cisco's website. You can find everything you need there. Good luck!!
Is not enough !! September 12, 2003 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book is not enough. I pass the exam 9E0-121 but a with a low score. I got questions no documented even in the cisco exam description. Questions about Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), The protocol used by the CRL Servers (LDAP/HTTP), Bandwidth Management (new in release 3.6.1), Diffie-Hellman Group 5 (DH5) (new in release 3.6.1), and more.
