FIREWALL and VPN exams

642-617 and 642-647
The last day to take these tests is May 28th. 
If I pass them both, how long will they count as credit towards the CCNP Security?
I have vouchers for both, and I'll take the exams, but I feel like I should take the new exams as well.
Thanks,
Chris

They will be like any other exam, three years valid towards any eligible path.

  • Windows Vista 64 and VPN

    Hi,
    which possibilities i have to create a VPN Tunnel between a ASA5520 and Windows Vista Enterprise x64?
    Is possible to use the Windows integrated "Firewall and advanced security"? There it seems to be the possibility to create a IPSEC-Tunnel. The only problem is that i don't know how.
    regards
    Erwin

    The interated Firewall in Vista doen not give the flexibility in configuring the IPsec tunnel, I doubt if that would work with ASA. However there are other third party tools that can be used for this purpose even cisco has a tool for VPN conection to vista but certain issues are still to be removed. Otherwise you can use tools to stimulate WinXP and can have your old VPN client to work.

  • Two active active ISPs with load balancing, publishing and VPN connection

    Hi,
    I wonder how to enable a scenario where i have to use  two ISP's to share 30/70 load on our internet traffic, have to configure almost 60 internal websites already published using microsoft TMG firewall and connect client VPN connections and site-to-site vpn connections. I know that ASA firewall has limitation when using security contexts. Is good idea that how to achieve this gool?
    I previously tried connecting four sites running ASA devices with this fifth site running Microsoft TMG firewall but i was able to connect only two ASA firewalls using site-to-site VPN, though I was able to connect remaining two as well but last two were not able to access ASA-TMG resources. furthermore behavious of two ASA-TMG connected sites was strange: sometime i was not able to access cross site resources from one machine but was able to do so from another machine.
    I noticed that two of ASA sites connected with TMG site has different internal IP class (e.g site one 192.168.0.* and site two using 172.16.*.*) while remaining two have same class like the first site e.g 192.168.128.* and 192.168.100.*
    Did anyone has experiance connecting TMG-ASA with multiple sites within same IP class scenario?
    OR
    How to enable same features using Cisco devices as they are on a single Microsoft TMG?
    Best,
    Saulat (Contact# 0092-321-4025587)

    Sulat,
    You can load balance between the two ISPs. That is not possible. But, we do have some options that I have discussed here:
    Hope the above link gives you some ideas to utilize both your ISP links.

  • Difference between Firewall and Router

    I can do VPN remote access configuration by using cisco firewall also I can do it using the cisco router by using the SDM program so what is the benefits from using the firewall or all of them are the same?
    I mean it's recommended to use the firewill? if yes, why ?

    Answer-
    1) WE can make Security-Level on Firewall,but router can't
    2) We can make firewall in multiple context(Virtual Firewall) but router can't
    3) We can create SSL VPN on Firewall,but router can't
    4) Whenever a packet inspected by Firewall and another packet comes with same contents then firewall didn't check that packet,
      but router checks all packets.(show connections)
    5) Firewall works as L2 and L3 both, but router only on L3.
    6) Firewall inspects packets on L3 to L7 but router works on L3.
    7) Firewall have Failover,router can't
    8) Whenever we take trace,then firewall cannot comes on picture,but router always shows as a Hop Count.

  • Error message about firewall and internet sharing

    hello all i have a question regarding the use of firewall and internet sharing.
    I have a PMG5 connected to internet through Airport. I've linked an Xbox 360 via the built-in ethernet port in order to access Xbox Live. I had to open specific UDP ports on the OS X firewall but it now works fine. However, in the Sharing Preference Pane, Internet Tab, i still get an error message saying that my Internet Sharing is disturbed by the settings of the firewall and sharing services, it says that i did not activate "personal web sharing" in the first two tabs...but i DID ! And there's no way to get rid of this error message.
    I know I know some may consider it's not a real problem because it's just an error message while the connection actually works fine but well, I tend to hate error messages when they're not supposed to show up. So if anyone know the answer, thanks in advance...
    Good day to everyone
    Vince, Paris...

    sorry about the delay in replying, was kinda busy
    well trashing the pref files was useless and i tried with another user, same thing. As for the second opinion, the problem was not about which port was used cause as i said the connection sharing works fine and anyway it was the correct port that was checked, it's just that i get an error message while there is no apparent error and everything works fine, i'm told that personal web sharing is not enabled but it is...
    Anyway as i said, it's probably not a real matter, as long as it works...which brings me to another thing. I've created a special protocol in the firewall to enable a proper dialog with the xbox. it's basically the same thing you do for ichat AV when you have video connection problems, you track down the concerned UDP port using terminal, you allow traffic and all... The protocol for the xbox worked great for some days, but now it seems it's not enough, the game set keeps trying on another port and i constantly have to update the protocol or deactivate the firewall...and enabling back all UDP traffic is not enough to solve it.
    In a way i think everything is linked, the initial error message when everything was fine and the current trouble. Any idea?
    thanks
    Vince

  • Questions regarding Outlook Web App, Remote Desktop, Remote Web Access and VPN Access

    Hi there,
    I want to ask a series of questions regarding Outlook Web App, Remote Desktop, Remote Web Access and VPN access and was hoping whether you could help me. Below are my questions to ask you.
    Outlook Web App - What do I need to configure in order to get my Exchange account to work with the OWA app on my iPhone? Is Office 360 required on the server that hosts Outlook Web App in our organisation? When I configure the settings and
    connect I get the following message "couldn't connect -  We couldn't connect to the server. Check your information and make sure it's correct." I can connect with other devices using Outlook Web App.
    Remote Desktop - What do I need to configure in order to connect to my computer at work using Remote Desktop on my Windows Phone? When I configure the settings and connect I get the following message "Connection error - We couldn't connect
    to the remote PC. Make sure the PC is turned on and connected to the network, and that remote access is enabled. Inquiring minds may find this error code helpful: 0x204" I can connect with other devices using Remote Desktop. There are currently no
    RD Server settings in the Remote Desktop app on the Windows Phone and the only way I'm to connect to my PC at work is via Remote Desktop and not to be confused with the one by Microsoft, however the app is on a trial basis and times out every 5 minutes and
    can only be used once every hour unless I purchased the app for £2.99 off the App Store but would ideally like to use the Microsoft Remote Desktop app though.
    Remote Web Access - What do I need to configure in order to get Remote Web Access on my Windows Phone using a URL? When I log in using a URL I get the following message "There is a problem with this Web page. Please contact the person who manages
    the server" I can connect with other devices using Remote Web Access. Also how do you enable the background option for Remote Web Access? I know how to do this in Remote Desktop but not in Remote Web Access. Remote Web Access works on PCs regardless
    being onsite and offsite and on my iPhone, the same issue also occurs with my Nokia 5230s regardless of whether I'm using Opera Mobile or Mini or the latest Nokia Browser.
    VPN access - How do you configure VPN access on a Windows Phone using VPN? I cannot find the protocols PPTP, L2TP, SSTP and IPsec in order to configure VPN access on the Windows Phone apart from IKEv2.
    Many thanks,
    RocknRollTim

    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Kind regards,

  • I am getting an error message that my network connection has timed out. while trying to update my iPhone on iTunes. Has anyone found a solution? I was given some advice about turning off my firewall and/or virus protection but am nervous about doing that.

    I get a message that my network connection has timed out while trying to update my iPhone on iTunes. Has anyone else had that problem and if so what solutions have you found? I was told to turn off my firewall and/or virus protection while updating but am nervous about doing that for obvious reasons. I'm also disgusted with Apple not providing free tech support.

  • I have disabled all Kaspersky security, windows firewall and windows defender and Itunes still will not update my Ipod touch 4th gen to IOS 5, Helppppp!

    I can't get the IOS 5 to work for windows Vista.  I'm running kaspersky pure 2.0, windows firewall and windows defender.  I have turned them all off, I then attach my Ipod 4th gen and I get the "cannot connect to itunes update server".  I ran diagnostics in itunes and it tells me I dont have a internet connection.  I'm on the internet right now, and I DO have a internet connection, but it tells me Itunes says otherwise.  I'm able to send this message on the same pc with internet connection but keep running into this error.  I have now read discussiong boards through apple and disabled all my firewalls, still no luck.  I was able to update the lates version of itunes, and just waiting to get my ipod updated now, please help me.

    On the computer you should be able to go to the network properites. Go to the TCP part and unchec the line that says obtaind DNS automatically and check the one that says use the following. Add the 8.8.8.8 and Google other 8.8.4.4.

  • When I try to download iTunes 10.5.3.3 it says "A program required for this install to complete could not be run...." I have uninstalled itunes, restarted my pc, disabled firewall and antivirus. HELP

    I used to have iTunes 4.3.1, something like that, it kept asking me to upgrade but i had an older ipod so i couldnt. I recently broke my ipod so now i have one for itunes 10.5.3.3 because my ipod came shipped with ios5.0 installed. So i tried to update itunes, didnt work.  I uninstalled it, didnt work.

  • Unable to receive internet connection over wifi connection.  Shows that I am connected to the network, but do not have internet access.  Checked my firewall and turned it off.  What else am I missing or should be doing differently?

    Unable to receive internet connection over wifi connection.  Shows that I am connected to the network, but do not have internet access.  Checked my firewall and turned it off.  What else am I missing or should be doing differently?

    You might want to try resetting your router and your modem - just unplug the cords, leave them unplugged for about 3-5 minutes and then replug the modem and then the router in that order.
    This may or may not correct your problem - call back if it doesn't.
