CCNA Security CCP Access

[steven.crutchley]

I am currently studying for CCNA Security and would like to have access to CCP (Cisco Configuration Professional) to play with the GUI and make sure I am familiar with it for the exam.

I have tried to download it from the Cisco Website but I cannot figure out how to get it running. Does anyone know of a tutorial (or similar resource) where I can learn to get a working copy of CCP up and running - perhaps to work with GNS3?

Did you download the full PC-based version? (cisco-config-pro-k9-pkg-2_7-en.zip)? That is the package you need to install. It doesnt do much without a router to point it at though.

Hi Marvin,

Managed to get it from:

http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=281795035&softwareid=282159854&release=2.7&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest

Took a bit of coaxing to work (running it as an administrator and connecting GNS3 to my local network) but I got it work.

Thanks
