It wouldn't be a violation to share information about each topic. But it would be an awful lot of work. It's exactly what sites like www.certificationzone.com are doing. But note that each topic, for example, OSPF, is one or more 25-page papers, 30 study questions and answers, and one or more lab scenarios. And that's what it takes to learn this stuff. (Actually certificationzone teaches you a bit more than you need to know, but even if they didn't, it would be lot of information.)
