Hello Nakul, I had the same problem when studying for the Switching exam.
I don't like switches. I know that routers and switching are two different
devices and perform different functions, but routers make switches look
stupid. I guess that they are two different colors.
If you are trying to get your CCNP, the fact is is that sooner or later
you'll have to get involved with switches at work.
At first, I did not like switch work, but then, when you get some
experience, you can end loving them.
I used the Cisco Switching Book from the Cisco Press Preparation Library
(not Certification library), the one that goes in the C Prep Library, you
can buy this alone.
Like all Cisco Press books, is overwhelming, bored and makes your eyes
close, but it is the best material for the exam, excellent.
Take care and good look

Hi all,
I started off studying routing and found it to be a topic that interested me
a lot. I just couldn't get enough of halabi Doyle and the rest. I studied a
lot, practiced a lot and was thrilled when I passed the exam in beta.
Next I started studying for switching. That didn't turn out as well as I
thought it would. I couldn't just work up the same level of interest. I have
been analyzing the reasons and have come up with the following:
1. I've never worked with switches much, so I don't know too much about
them, as opposed to routers.
2. Study materials.
I've been wondering, has anyone else faced similar problems in their quest
for CCNP.
Also, could someone recommend some good materials/resources for switching
other than the official Cisco book?
Any/all answers would be appreciated.
Thanks.
