Share your IPS v7.0 Experience

January 3rd, 2011 in IPS v7.0 642-627 Go to comments

Cisco has made changes for the Security exams by replacing the old CCSP with the new CCNP Security Certification with 4 modules: Secure, Firewall, IPS and VPN. In fact, the old CCSP and the new CCNP Security are very similar. Many candidates have requested us to put up materials for these new exams but it is a time-consuming work. In the mean time, we created the “Share your experience” for the IPS v7.0 exam. We really hope anyone who read securitytut, 9tut, digitaltut, certprepare, networktut and voicetut contribute to these sections as your experience is invaluable for CCNP Security learners to complete their goals.

Please share with us your experience after taking the IPS v7.0 642-627 exam, your materials, the way you learned, your recommendations…

    I just passed IPS 7 using AT 3.0. It’s valid. There was one SIM and the 6 question hotspot inside of the AT. Of course there are no answers inside of the AT. However, if you know your way around IDM, you can easily find the answers to the question. The IDM configuration SIM was NOT in the AT.

    Once again, if you know your way around the IDM, you’ve got it covered with no problem. I also used nubian’s vce on exam collection. It has all of the questions in AT, minus the hotspot questions.

    Good luck to all.
