I personally despise Halabi's "authortative, the BGP-bible" IRA book. It is awful. It is the sole reason nobody understands BGP. It's confusing, boring, and downright awful to read and understand such simple concepts. I passed the Cisco BGP exam (took the beta), and I did not even open Halabi or Stewart (I do like Stewart, but for this exam, his information is not really on-topic). Normally, I'd say read the RFC's, but they are also not going to help you on this exam. I used a) the outline provided by Cisco b) Jeff Doyle's TCP/IP Routing Volume II (first 318 pages) Jeff Doyle is the master of routing protocols...this misconception that Volume II was not as good as Volume I reminds me of 14 year old pimply-faced kids arguing about Star Wars vs. Empire or Matrix 1 vs. Matrix: Reloaded. These are all good movies... however, Star Wars: Episode I and II are more remniscient of Halabi....IMO. -dre Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=73570&t=73516 -------------------------------------------------- **Please support GroupStudy by purchasing from the GroupStudy Store: http://shop.groupstudy.com FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html
