Share your SNRS Experience
As you know, the CCSP certification requires you to pass 3 exams: SNRS, SNAF, SNAF and one of three optional exams CANAC, MARS or SNAA but currently this site has only materials for CCNA Security 640-553. Many candidates have requested us to put up materials for other exams but it is a time-consuming work. In the mean time, we created the “Share your experience” for the SNRS exam. We really hope anyone who read securitytut, 9tut, digitaltut, certprepare, networktut and voicetut contribute to these sections as your experience is invaluable for CCSP learners to complete their goals.
Please share with us your experience after taking the SNRS exam, your materials, the way you learned, your recommendations…
WELL THANKS for this section which i believe it gonna be valuable for those who gonna take the CCSP Path.
i have i question before i begin my study to CCSP for sure after finishing CCNA Security which exam should i take first is it (SNRS , SNAF, IPS OR CANAC) I MEAN SINCE WE KNOW THE ONLY PREREQUISITE FOR CCSP IS TO TAKE CCNA SECURITY BUT I AM AFRAID THAT I MAY FACE QUESTION THAT MIGHT BE EXPLAINED IN OTHER COURSE SUCH AS TAKING SNAA BEFORE SNAF
THANKS IN ADVANCED
I am starting SNRS exam with Cbt Nuggets for snrs.
@spawn: could u please post the link to cbt nuggets..
hi.
i have also started the preparations for the snrs exam..
who’s with me..??
Hello everybody, I can’t load ASA 5505 image from tftp server. Could u anybody help me.
why snrs first than snaf and snaa? thanks.
@ykzrenev. Here is my view of why usually people do SNRS SNAF SNAA and IPS towards qualifying for the CCSP.
1. SNRS – Is the common denominator as it lays the foundation for security principles as such.
The focus here is Secuiry Theory (a lot of overlap with CCNA Security here) and then more advanced topics in IOS Firewall.
The Cisco Exam Guide for SNRS is out dated. It covers only 642-502.
However I would highly recommend the SNRS Student Guide and Learning Network SNRS PPT slides/pdf as it matches the 642-504.
CBT Nuggets for 502 + updates for 504 are useful too (almost covers about 85-90%)
2. SNAF – ASA fundamentals. To understand this section understanding firewall, nat, vpn concepts is a must. SNRS prepares you for that.
3. SNAA – ASA advanced topics. So a pre-requisite is SNAF
4. IPS – Finally you do the IPS. Typically candidates choose IPS since its easier to handle compared to MARS and CANAC as availability of an IPS device is easier for lab practice.
Try renting a rack that contains a MARS / CANAC setup
Could you please share the valid dumps for SNRS
Amend my previous posting .. IPS is a core exam and SNAA is the elective chosen. Reasons though remain the same that MARS/CANAC setup is not easily available to do labs
Passed SNRS today.
Study Material – Student Guide for SNRS is really well written
For Labs – Worked using the INE CCIE Security Track Basic technologies + GNS
= IOS Firewalls (covers a lot of CBAC, ZBF, Basic firewall stuff)
= Basic VPN command line setup of labs.
= For IPS part did the basic IPS setup via SDM (as explained in the CCNA Sec Lab guide)
For a foundation understanding, if using GNS hook up wireshark to the connection where traffic is going and save PCAP files and view them in the Wireshark GUI. This helps you correlate much much better with the encapsulations, header fields and such and you can map it to the diagrams in the student guide.
A good thing to do is once you have done the CLI based lab. Then hook up to that Router via SDM and see how what you setup looks like in the SDM GUI. What this does is helps get you familiar with which Tab data for CBAC, ZPF, VPN, IPS … and what click throughs you need to do. Helps very much in the SDM based Testlets in the Exam.

On October 19, 2010, Learning@Cisco announced the evolution of the CCSP certification to CCNP Security. CCSP exams will remain available until April 2011 and individuals can still obtain a CCSP certification until October 2011

Bye Bye CCSP.
Welcome CCNP Security
passed…. used cbt nuggets, student guides and dumps….
Who knows? What type simlets in 642-504?
Passed 642-504 with 9xx/1000. Exam time is 110 min + 30 Min for none native speakers. There where 63 questions + two simlets (ZBPF + IPS). The passing score was 804/1000.
I use:
- original Cisco docs
- CBT videos
- GNS3 and an 2811
- P4S & Actualtest dumps.
A new version of AT can be found here http://www.examcollection.com/642-504.html in some days. The dumps are valid. All dumps have only 4 choices per question, in exam you have 5 – 7 choices in 50% of the questions. So if you learn the dumps, learn the text not the position.
Hi all, today I have Passed today 642-504 exam with 965/1000.
I maked the official cisco instructor course with labs,
studied from original Cisco documentation course docs and
used noname’s vce from examcollection.
Vce is excellent and all question are on the real exam.
In much question there are more of 4 question (not as the dump for examcollector).

in the real exam there are more of 6
@kay
Yes, there are few sims, only on the SDM – very simple.
like ccna security blogs which blogs i read all labs and questions. pleas any one tel me thanks.
hi , how r u all , can any one tell me where i can get CBT nuggets of SNRS and also tell me where i can get LAB (simulation) for SNRS exam , thanks in advance…
hi, new to the site, thanks.
Please say is there any simulation in this exam
Dear All Friends
pls provide download link Ebook for SNRS,SNA,IPS, (CBT,Train signal)
Which is the best Material for CCSP.
Thanks in Advance
Are there any labs on the exams? Or is it all multiple choice? Thx
I have just clear CCNA Security and want to go next. But I wonder what should I will focus on now? SNRS or SECURE V1? Can SNRS compose with other CCNP Security courses to archive CCNP Sec after 14, October 2011?
Can anyone just answer me this about CCSP and CCNP Security.
If i take and pass SNRS (642-504) exam before April 8
I have basically 3 years to take the new remaining;
642-627 (IPS), 642-617 (FIREWALL), 642-647 (VPN) exams and then I am CCNP Security???
So i would NEVER have to take the 642-637 (SECURE) exam at all until maybe like 2013 or 2014 when the 3 years is up because i passed the SNRS 642-504 exam???
Thank You
You are right jacob.
Hi Jacob
If we look forward Cisco Codes change history, we can see that all the compative course will available for composing new version of certificate. BSCN and BCMSN instead of ROUTE, WITCH on CCNP last year are the good case.
So, I think, excluding non-compative code such as MARS, CANAC…, SNRS, SNAF or IPSv6 still available for composing CCNP Sec. The deadline 14th,October is for some one who want to get both CCSP and CCNPSec. After that, only CCNP Sec available
So come on, just like me, let ‘s race with Cisco changing plan
Hi DK, & JeJe
Thank you for responding quickly.
Yes let the race begin!
Have just cleared SNRS, score 1000/1000
Some real questions have more than four options to check but in general, noname’s vce still valid
And this link http://www.4shared.com/file/IyuwNkQI/642-504.html is good dump
Thanks and goodluck for all, but quicker because you only have ten day left
Jeje , I couldn’t open this link. Any instruction?
thanks jeje! is the dump you said is more valid than the noname’s vce? or the same only?
Just more answer option than noname’s vce (4 answer per question only)
Thanks Jeje!
Just passed with 9xx/1000. Used noname’s vce and CBT Nuggets. Wanted to get it in before 4/8/11 to get both CCSP and CCNP Security. Now on to VPN, IPS and Firewall.
Just passed the exam and i believe it would not be helpful since the last day of the exam for this is on april 8.
@dk
for CCNP Security you need to pass last 3 exams: Firewall, VPN and IPS
Good Luck!!!
