    Hi guys

    Switched jobs two months ago -moved to a company that's really close to home- and after two months of being on the Support team I've been asked to move to the networking team -which is currently just one guy- to help do lan, wan, wlan and firewall administration.

    Since I'm still at CCNA level I'll need to go through lots of material quite fast.

    MY CCNA exam is scheduled in a couple of weeks when I'm in vacation. I'll be going through the CWNA and CCNP: switch and also try on the CCNA Security. Not sure if I'll take the exams, at this time I just need the knowledge :-)

    Now, for the CCNA security there are two books (again). Which one should be the best? First one doesn't really get good reviews...

    CCNA Security Official Exam Certification Guide Exam 640-553 Exam Certification Guides: Amazon.co.uk: Michael Watkins, Kevin Wallace: Books

    or

    Implementing Cisco IOS Network Security IINS : Authorized Self-study Guide: CCNA Security Exam 640-553 Ccna Security Learning: Amazon.co.uk: Catherine Paquet: Books

    Thanks!

    The official certification guide will definitely help.
