Share your FIREWALL Experience
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 FIREWALL 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 FIREWALL 642-617 exam, your materials, the way you learned, your recommendations…

Question about MKA ; response was protecting traffic between switch & endpoint.
In Gon file, question about traffic reaching FW, I answered with both capture commands (packet-capture is incorrect because it simulates traffic only).
Good luck for all !
Hi Congratulations!
help me today I will take the exam. Lab, D&D, Spot are the same?
Are there these questions about ISE dual a single SSD?
Thanks in advance
Yes, D&D and Labs are the same.
No question about ISE SSD.
Thanks ,

really thank you
Correct for first questions, just for the last question ;
There was only one answer to choose and it was about protecting multitenant datacenter in the perimeter. really don’t know the correct answer (ASAv or VSG..)
There was only one answer to choose and it was about protecting multitenant datacenter in the perimeter. really don’t know the correct answer (ASAv or VSG..) I think ASV in front- end

@SecGuy
Congratulations, what was your score?
@scubasteve thanks !
@SecGuy
The TrustSec D&D, how many options?
D&D trustsec, 5 options.
My response was ASAv in front-end too.
I got 95X.
Should they be put in order? or drag vs ISE or ASAr?
1)Register with iSE
2)downloads PAC
3)Device authenticates using Trustsec
4)Devices sends SGT to upstream switches
5)Receives petition and lookup for SGT
or DRAG
ISE
Register with iSE
downloads PAC ( ASA download fron ISE)
Device authenticates using Trustsec ( ISE)
Devices sends SGT to upstream switches ( ASA)
Receives petition and lookup for SGT (ASA)
Thanks

Can anyone please help if gon 166 question is still enough to pass 300-206? Will seat for exam on Saturday.
@Secguy thanks for the feedback…..did u use the gon jan file ? what else did u use to prepare….i have my exam in 4 hours….are there any other wrong answer in Gon file?
same query like Ras… Is it enough to attend 300-206 exam if i follow Gon suggestions of 166 question?
@Danny,
Gon file is sufficient, I had only 2 new questions.
@Danny, you have to review Gon file including 61Q.
@RCV,
That’s a D&D and the question is about how to configure RBAC. Not sure what’s RBAC word in here as the questions are about configuring trustsec. I used the cisco trustsec configuration for ASA to answer this D&D
@RCV
yes NAT
is there any marks on verifying and testing?
Thanks i am doing both Gon jan 166Q and Gon Feb 61 Q….and your comments about Trustsec DND and 2 new questions…
can someone please tell me the correct answer for this question:
Which command must you configure on a Cisco IOS XR or XE device to enable cisco Prime infra to perform event triggered backups? Logging level or Logging ?
Passing!
RCV:
No new questions
I had a problem with the de Nat / Pat lab.
I was unable to see the translator. I have tried through CLI from ASA, commands show Nat and Show xlate and also through ASDM, monitoring.
Which command must you configure on a Cisco IOS XR or XE device to enable cisco Prime infra to perform event triggered backups? Logging tap level or Logging ?
VSG in back-end is the correct answer
Good luck Danny!! Good luck all!!

cisco ASA 5500 series ASA
C. Cisco security manager 4.5 or later pushing configuration bundles to each of the IPS units
D. Cisco IPS manager express and pushing configuration to the IPS units

A. Username authentication without encryption
B. MD5 or SHA authentication with DES encryption
C. Username authentication with DES encryption
D. MD5 or SHA authentication with DES encryption

D. MD5 or SHA authentication with no encryption.
@scubasteve
Great work!!! Well done!!!
Hi guys,
Doing my exam this friday and am struggeling with the NAT DND. There are a lot of conflicting answers, mostly because of the terrible question. Is the answer in Gon the correct one?
209.165.202.130 – Source address in translated packet
209.165.200.228 – Destination address in original packet
172.16.0.50 – Source address in original packet
172.16.0.100 – Destination address in translated packet
And the “old” simulations, such as Botnet, are they retired from the exam? Is NAT and the Inspect-map the only possible ones?
Thanks in advance!
@ginodesilva
NAT D&D is no longer on the exam. But the correct answer is below:
209.165.202.130 – Source address in original packet
209.165.200.228 – Destination address in original packet
172.16.0.50 – Source address in translated packet
172.16.0.100 – Destination address in translated packet
Only sim left is NAT/PAT.
Good luck in your exam.
@scubasteve
Thanks for the quick response. It’s my last one…
Security Levels
SNMP offers 3 different security levels:
noAuthNoPriv
AuthNoPriv
AuthPriv
Auth stands for Authentication and Priv for Privacy (encryption).
noAuthNoPriv = username authentication and no encryption.
AuthNoPriv = MD5 or SHA authentication but no encryption.
AuthPriv = MD5 or SHA authentication AND encryption.
SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 only support noAuthNoPriv since they don’t offer any authentication or encryption. SNMPv3 supports any of the three security levels. When you decide to use noAuthNoPriv for SNMPv3 then the username will replace the community-string.
The community-string for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 is send in clear-text. SNMPv3 is far more secure because it doesn’t send the user passwords in clear-text but uses MD5 or SHA1 hash-based authentication, encryption is done using DES, 3DES or AES.

I failed it, lots of new questions that I haven’t seen in any of these materials. I was only sitting this one to renew my ccnp which is expiring in couple of weeks.
What other options do I have that I can easily renew my ccnp?
It not supposed to be on last day by changing questions. Is there any authentic news? Anyone can confirm? I will seat for exam after 2 hours.
