Cisco VPN Client ISAKMP Transform Set List
Aug 16th
Overview
After trying to set up remote access IPSec VPN on my ASA5540, I was unable to connect using the Cisco VPN Client. After running debug crypto isakmp 255, I found that there were a total of 14 ISAKMP transform set configurations that the client will try before giving up. Please keep in mind that this list is for IPSec remote access only.
This is a list of possible configurations:
| Transform # | Encryption | Hashing | Group | Authentication |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | AES-256 | SHA1 | Group 2 | xauth |
| 2 | AES-256 | MD5 | Group 2 | xauth |
| 3 | AES-256 | SHA1 | Group 2 | PSK |
| 4 | AES-256 | MD5 | Group 2 | PSK |
| 5 | AES-128 | SHA1 | Group 2 | xauth |
| 6 | AES-128 | MD5 | Group 2 | xauth |

CCIE R&S Workbooks VOL1 and VOL2
Aug 9th
As you know, the foundation products for self-paced CCIE R&S studies are the IEWB-RS VOL1 and VOL2 workbooks. Together, these two sum up to 4000 pages of hands-on practice content. VOL1 consists of over 600 technology-focused scenarios, while VOL2 consists of 20 full-scale scenarios that now started featuring independent troubleshooting sections and detailed breakdowns, linking you to VOL1 scenarios relevant to a particular task. With this amount of training content, it is not a secret that the major issue people are having while preparing to CCIE lab is lack of study time. Typically, available time slots are random, fragmented and limited to four hours maximum per day. Students may obtain larger time-slots on weekends. Such limitation in contiguous time slots results in people biasing their study habits toward the exclusive use of VOL1, while neglecting VOL2 and practicing only a few out of all 20 scenarios.This results in the following major problems:
- Working mainly through VOL1 in linear fashion, people tend to forget the information they learned earlier during the study process. Based on the logical grouping of VOL1 topics, these are typically L2/L3 and IGP/BGP technologies.
- Missing time to practice VOL2 (full-scale 8 hour scenarios), students find themselves in a situation where they know how to configure and troubleshoot technologies individually, but cannot deal with the complexity of mixed, multi-technology full-scale scenarios.

CCIE Security: Certificate-based ACLs
Jul 23rd
A big shout out to all the students in the Raleigh Security CCIE bootcamp last week. I had a blast! Thank you for all your hard work, as well as the after hours discussions about the unknown, and why people feel they know it.
I promised a few blog posts related to security over the next few weeks, and this one is regarding Certificate-based ACLs.
This blog may also serve as a review on how to configure the CA clients so that their certificates contain various fields and values, such as subject-name.
Let’s use this diagram for the backdrop of our discussion:

In the previous MPLS Components post, we discussed the many benefits that MPLS can bring to the network, and we detailed the typical components found in a Layer 3 MPLS VPN design. In this post, we will provide more details for the MPLS components and their important, inner workings. We will make reference to the previous diagram in this post as well:

The Five Tracks of CCIE
Jul 23rd
Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert (CCIE) is recognized as the most respected IT certification today. CertMag even voted it as the most technically advanced, while other reports claim that it is the highest salaried certification in salary surveys. Indeed, passing CCIE is really worth all the efforts and money that candidates have to consider in taking both the written and lab exams. Though there are really no formal prerequisites, Cisco recommends candidates to have at least 3 to 5 years of experience in networking before making their first attempt on becoming a CCIE. Unlike other certification programs such as the ones offered by Microsoft, there is no need to pass lower Cisco certifications such as associate and professional exams before taking an expert level exam as CCIE.
There are 5 CCIE tracks that candidates can choose from, making it possible to hold multiple CCIE certifications at the same time. These are: More >

CCIE Written Exams The Most Critical Part of the CCIE Certification
Jul 23rd
If you would like to be a Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert (CCIE), then it is very crucial to pass the written exam. A CCIE written exam is one of two certification exams that you need to take. Before jumping to the next type of exam, which happens to be a lab exam, you have to first give your best shot in passing the written exam of 100 multiple choice questions. Each CCIE written exam will cost you around US $300 on every attempt. Because of this, it is indeed a must to pass the exam on the first try to give you more time to focus on the lab exam, which should be taken within 18 months. Failure to do so means nullifying your CCIE written exam score so you have to take the written exam again if ever you are still interested in getting CCIE certified.
To register for a CCIE written exam, you can check out the Pearson VUE web site for more information. Prometric has discontinued administering CCIE exams since August 1, 2007. It is a computer-based exam that should be completed in a span of 2 hours. More >

CCIE Training The Best Line of Defense Against Failure
Jul 23rd
It is indeed a fact that getting a certification for Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert (CCIE) is not a joke. This is because it requires candidates to give their 100% attention for them to be able to pass two exams that they need to take one written and one lab exam. Though it is true that there are no normal prerequisites for the CCIE exam, still there is a need to have a working knowledge and adept experience in networking. This is where proper CCIE training comes in.
CCIE has five tracks in place and it is the candidate s prerogative which among these -
(a) Routing and Switching,
(b) Security,
(c) Service Provider,
(d) Storage Networking or ( e) Voice suits his capabilities as a networking expert.

CCIE Security Learning the Principles of Network Security
Jul 23rd
CCIE Security is one of the five tracks that candidates can choose from. Getting a CCIE certification in Security indicates a candidate s expert level knowledge of IP and IP Routing, as well as network security protocols and components with subjects that include IOS Security, IDS, ASA and many others. There are no prerequisites for this type of CCIE certification, though candidates are encouraged to undergo training to enhance their knowledge and skills as far as network security is concerned.
There are barely two steps that candidates need to take before getting CCIE Security certified. The first step is to pass the written exam. It is a two-hour test with 100 multiple choice questions that needs to be answered within specific time constraints. No open books or other reference materials allowed when taking the exam. It usually costs around US $300, which also depends on exchange rates and local taxes. Results of the CCIE exam are available immediately after the exam. Passing it means that the candidate is ready to move on to the next step and that is to take the lab exam within a period of 18 months only. Failure to do so may mean expiration of the written exam score. More >
