Congrats on passing. I am starting my CCNP study and was wondering if it
would be beneficial to use CCIE Prep books (i.e. Routing TCP/IP by Jeff
Doyle)? I honestly do not plan on trying to get my CCIE (or at least anytime
in the next couple of years). I would ASSuME that if I learn the info in the
CCIE Prep books, I should be able to pass CCNP tests. Your thoughts? Thanks
in advanced for your help.
