Hi all! My first posting to the group (having lurked around for a while)! I'm currently preparing for the Switching 2.0 exam having mainly used the Cisco LAN Switching book by Kennedy Clark (recommended btw). However, looking at the objectives for the old CLSC there seems to be quite a lot of VERY product-specific topics. Having only basic experience with the Cat5's, I'm a little confused as to how much specifc knowledge of the different series is required( that is 3000, 2900, 4000, 6000, etc, etc). If possible, I would rather be focusing on the concepts of VLAN, Spanning Tree, Trunking, LANE, etc, and not so much the ins and outs of a lot of different models. Could someone (without violating any NDAs) point out if should go deeper in pure "hardware studies" (the Documentation CD being the obvious source) or if I'm on the right track, so to speak?
