Cisco Security Lab Exam Equipment

by: mkandah

Equipment used in the Cisco Security Lab exam:
2600 series routers
3600 series routers
Catalyst 3550 series switches
PIX - running Pix software version 6.2
Certificate Authority Support
Cisco Secure Access Control System
Cisco Secure Intrusion Detection System
The addition of VPN concentrators and IDS sensors is currently being investigated and will be announced three months before the actual integration in the lab.
For Security, make sure you have the 12.2 ENTERPRISE/FW/IDS PLUS IPSEC 3DES. IOS "T" trains will be used to provide security specific features.

Used Cisco2620/2621 Router

by: mkandah

2620/2621 Router - 1 network module slot platform with 1-2 10/100BaseT Ethernet port(s) and 2 integrated WIC slots. Primary difference between these and the 2610’s is the Fast Ethernet capability (Inter-VLAN routing!).
There are new 2600XM series routers available on the market, but these would not be a first pick for a home lab as they are quite a bit more expensive than the 2610 and 2620 models. The 2600’s are End of Life and the prices should be coming down.
If you are able to get a 2600 series router and want to load IOS 12.1 Enterprise, but you only have 8Mb of Flash, and cannot afford more flash, what do you do.
It depends. How much DRAM do you have? Typically, the DRAM is not as expensive as flash, so it is more feasible to add enough DRAM to run the image. Configure the router to boot from a TFTP server. That’s it, you just got away with a cheap cheat. The problem is that it is cheap and can become more of a headache than anything else.
This method is painfully slow and problematic. During the course of starting up the router at the beginning of a session or during a practice lab exercise when you need to reboot, you will hate every minute of it.
If you bought a router, buy the flash and DRAM required to run the 12.1 Enterprise Plus IOS, don’t “cheap out” now. Average prices for 2600 series 16Mb flash are around $50. Prices for 2500 series routers are even cheaper.
The 2620 series routers require 16Mb Flash and 48Mb DRAM in order to run the 12.1 Enterprise Plus IOS.
2500’s require 16Mb Flash and 16Mb DRAM.
1720’s and 1750’s can’t use Enterprise Plus, but they can use IP/FW/IDS PLUS IPSEC 3DES, which requires 8Mb Flash and 32Mb DRAM.
4000’s require 8Mb Flash and 32Mb DRAM for Enterprise Plus, but if you are using it as a frame switch, 12.1 IP IOS only needs 4Mb Flash and 16Mb DRAM.

2500 Series Routers

by: mkandah

2500 Series Routers - This is the most popular router used in home CCIE labs. It runs standard IOS and will require 16 Mb flash and 16 Mb DRAM in order to run the 12.1 Enterprise IOS that you will need to simulate the actual lab. Expected cost $100 to $600, used. What will cost you more is; flash and DRAM and configuration.Generally, the 2501, 2503, 2504, 2509, 2511, and the 2513 routers are the most popular. The 2503 and 2504 will give ISDN connections. The 2509 and 2511 will provide a terminal server with 8 or 16 Async connections. The 2513 has both Token Ring and Ethernet connections. The most popular and most economical is the 2501.

Cisco Systems Catalyst WS-C2948G-L3

by: mkandah

Cisco Systems Catalyst WS-C2948G-L3

Specs:

Height: 2.69in. Depth: 18in. Width: 17.1in.

Weight: 18lbs.

Switch type: LAN

Supported speeds: 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1000Mbps

Memory: 16MB Flash / 64MB DRAM

About the Catalyst 2948G-L3 Switch:

The Cisco Systems WS-C2948G-L3 switch is a fixed-configuration Layer 3 (L3) Ethernet switch featuring wire-speed switching for Internet Protocol, Internetwork Packet Exchange, and IP multicast. This new Catalyst switch provides the high-performance that is required for mid-size campus backbones with just the right port density. It is ideal for aggregating multiprotocol traffic from multiple wiring closets or workgroup switches such as the Catalyst 2900, Catalyst 3500, Catalyst 4000, or Catalyst 5000 switches.

The Cisco Systems WS-C2948G-L3 switch provides non-blocking routing and switching for IP, IPX, and IP multicast while also offering wire-speed Layer 2 switching for non-routable protocols such as NetBIOS and DECnet local-area transport (LAT). This capability allows network managers to augment their multi-protocol backbones with the Catalyst 2948G-L3 without having to build parallel networks, as is often required with IP-only switches
