Well a few weeks of studying and I'm finally finished
with this thing. Here's a list of what I studied, and
what worked for me. Hope it helps!
Week of July 3rd
Passed Routing 2.0
I read Jeff Doyle's Routing TCP/IP Volume one and
Halabi's Internet Routing Archicture. Exam outline is
dead on.
Week of July 10th
Passed Switching 2.0
I read the Cisco Switching book, and the CLSW from
Mcgraw-Hill. Exam outline again, is right on.
Week of July 17
Passed Novell 4.x to 5.0 upgrade.
I blame the completely boring material I had to
study for destroying my motivation for the next 2
weeks.
Week of July 24
SLACKED!!!
Week ok July 31
SLACKED MORE!!!
Week of Aug 7
Monday-Passed CCDA.
I took CCDA not for the Cert, but to get me moving
again. Pretty easy test, just tedious.
Wednesday-Passed Remote Access 2.0
I got Jeff Quigle's book for this. I basically
skimmed the book and took the test. Wasn't that bad.
Exam outline could be revised.
Week of Aug 14
Passed Support 2.0
Ok. I got the Cisco Internet Troubleshooting book
from Cisco. I could not read this book, it was
completely boring. I took the test to see what was on
it and passed it. Coolness.
My advice:
Read Jeff Doyle's Routing TCP/IP Vol.1.
I got more out of this than any of the others.
Read Halabi's Internet Routing Architectures.
He manages to keep it interesting almost all the way
through.
Read the Cisco Switching book, I think by Kennedy
Clark. I managed to read it all the way through.
Well, it's onto the CCIE written probably in a few
weeks, I've started (again) on Caslow's book, and I
can't recommend it enough either.
Good Luck to All!
-John
