The SAFE Implementation Exam is the capstone exam for the
CCSP certification path. The exam tests the knowledge and skills needed to use
and implement the principles and technologies contained in the “SAFE: Extending the Security Blueprint to Small, Midsize, and
Remote-User Networks” (SMR) white paper.
While the exam is based on the SMR, the SMR refers to the original
“SAFE: A Security Blueprint for Enterprise Networks.” The
two documents are a 76 page and 66 page PDFs respectively and are available for
free download from www.cisco.com/go/safe. Any SAFE technology document should be
considered to be a part of the exam preparation.
In addition to design strategies and security concepts, almost
one-half of the SAFE white paper is network diagrams and configuration examples
for the various technologies that should make an excellent concise tool for
reviewing for the exam.
The white papers reference other Cisco documents that might help
if you are feeling weak on a particular topic. Three short papers that can help
fill in the gaps include the following. In each case perform a search for the
document by name from the www.cisco.com site.
