The answer is Yes, you can be a paper CCNP.
I just turned CCNP last week and I have never touched a router before. Have
never logged into a router, not used any router simulator software. (Yes I
know how a router looked like from the pictures I've seen.) Neither did i
cheat by using brain dumps.
All the information for passing the exams only came from the 4 Sybex books
(routing, switching, support, RA) Not trying to be proud here, but a paper
CCNP is possible.
Will take my written CCIE soon. As for the lab exam, hmm... we shall see...
Cheers, Eve
