  1. Security is a hot topic in today's networks, and will continue to be for a long period of time to come. With that in mind, you need to consider adding a Cisco security certification to your resume and firewall abilities to your skill set. It's rather a jump from the CCNA to the CCSP (Cisco Certified Security Expert), and Cisco has actually made that leap more manageable by adding Expert certifications. These accreditations can give quite an increase to both your resume and your ability, and serve as a great "stepping stone" to the CCSP. At present, Cisco offers 4 VPN/Security accreditations, those being Cisco Firewall Program Expert, Cisco IPS Professional, Cisco VPN Professional, and Cisco VPN/Security Sales Professional. Considering that every WAN engineer has contact with Cisco firewalls regularly, we'll take a better take a look at this popular certification first. (And those who wish to be WAN engineers had much better find out something about firewalls, too!). At the writing of this post (October 21, 2005), Cisco is providing an alternative for each of the 2 tests you'll require to pass to earn this certification. For the very first exam, you can take either the 642-551 SND (Securing Cisco Network Gadgets) or 642-501 SECUR (Securing Cisco IOS Networks). The final day to register for the SECUR exam is December 19, 2005. For either, you'll require to be able to answer concerns concerning the correct usage of Cisco security devices; how to configure security on a Cisco switch and on a router, including syslog logging, AAA, ACLs, and security for router services and user interfaces. The options for the second test are the 642-522 SNPA (Protecting Network with PIX and ASA) and 642-521 CSPFA. Subjects for these examinations consist of, IPSec, NAT, firewall softwares, AAA, and https://www.bs2t.net/ policy mapping. (As constantly, you must check for the current exam plans at Cisco's website. Click "Knowing And Occasions" on the primary page, www.cisco.com). The only prerequisite for this certification is that you must hold a valid CCNA accreditation. As always, getting some hands-on experience is the best way to get ready for your Cisco exams. (Your employer is going to get a little upset if you practice your configs on his or her PIX. It would be a good concept to have a great lawyer, too.) There are online rack rental services that consist of Cisco security gadgets in their pods. Cisco certifications are a great method to help secure your profession in addition to your network. The more you understand, and the more diverse your abilities, the more valuable you are to your present and future companies. Utilize your CCNA as a foundation, and keep structure on your abilities!
