CNV1 - Designing Custom Security Solutions -- IINS 640-554 Setup

Wow. This course does not have much pre-test help. The forums were very lacking in information on how to prep. Listen to the CBT nuggets, read the book and do the practice test. That makes getting hands on practice kinda difficult if you don't have gear. Not good.

I decided to use GNS3 and virtualbox to do the routers and such. It has taken a 2 days to get the environment setup. I read the manual after getting lost for an hour or two. I try the click until something good happens at first. Helps me learn where everything is before reading a manual cold. Next, Getting IOS images is a challenge. Plus setting the idle time is important. Last, connecting virtualbox into the system is cool. Yay, practice for tacacs+ and radius. Good thing to save those practice Win7 and Linux machines from earlier courses.
