Well, took the switching 2.0 today and passed it, I didn't think it was too hard and about in line with Routing on difficulty. I think if you study the course book and the know what's on the requirements from Cisco you will do fine. I also used the LAN Switching book from the CCIE series but be careful because this book goes into serious detail. I think this news group helps a lot from the perspective of researching questions about troubleshooting and configs and others. I try not to concern my self with what is covered more or less on the exam. Making sure I have a complete knowledge of the material is what is important because someone will ask me to do this someday. On to BCRAN.
