>From what I have heard from other CCNPs and CCIEs is that, as with all
things networking, it depends. It primarily depends on your current
experience level with the various technologies which are covered, i.e. if
you do a lot of work with switching, start there. However, in general and
in terms of knowledge covered/required for the exams I have been told that
the "best" order is routing, switching, remote access, and then CIT.
>From what I have been told, that order is the "best" because each successive
exam tends to cover a good portion of information that was required on the
exam preceding it.
As far as access servers, I would look at the 2509 or 2511 at www.optsys.net
Which one you get will depend on the number of devices you need access to
(up to 8 or 16, respecitively).
Best of luck,
