cisco switch IOS for CCIE?

[Soon Kwan Kwon]

Hello all.

I have to take CCIE exam.

Searching the internet, I found that I should download IOS and licenses.

and I'm wondering what does mean by that ? -> C3560-X or E with IP Security features with 15.0SE  =>very expensive but cover all topics

I know IP Base, IP service...

But I've never heard about "IP Security".

Can you tell me what's the difference IP Security and IP service?

Regards,

SK.

Have you considered using Cisco VIRL?

Put 12GB of RAM into your machine if you are serious about using it.

"IP Security" is not a licence, just a reference to features, like "IP Source Guard", "Dynamic Arp Inspection", etc.
