Hello, Just thought I'd drop a note to those looking at obtaining these certs. Please reply congrats and such directly to me instead of wasting valuable Groupstudy time. To get there, I read the following over a year: - "CCNP Remote Access exam 640-505" Osborne Press > - "Internet Routing Architectures, Second Edition, Volume I" Cisco Press Toughest book I ever read as the first 600 pages are theory - "CCIE Professional Development: Cisco Lan Switching" by Kennedy Clark, Kevin Hamilton; Cisco Press - "CCIE Professional Development: Routing TCP/IP Vol I" Doyle - "Top-down Network Design" Oppenheimer - "Advanced IP Network Design" Cisco Press - "OSPF Network Design" - "Advanced IP routing in Cisco networks" McGraw Hill and have taken ICRC, ACRC, CIT and CID courses. And managed to pass the beta CID exam.
