I passed this exam as well, at the first attempt with a 75% 2 days ago. I used: 1) Lou Rossi's Token Ring Paper 2) Network Learning CCIE Written Prep Guide 3) CCIE Prep Kit from QUE I agreed with Nick this is not an easy exam. I would also suggest everyone who has done with CCNP, should take this exam within a short period of time. Thanks everyone on this group. On to the Lab exam!!!

It was not an easy test, considering the topics covered. However, I must admit that nothing on the test was beyond the blue print (from CCO). I must admit that being a CCNP is definitely an advantage when one goes for this test, the coverage is different, since more concentration is on theoritical topics, desktop protocols & of course token ring & SRB/DLSW/RSRB/etc. bridging, rather than the actual routing protocols. I would attempt to suggest a path that one may take (books etc.) while preparing for this test. This will apply mostly to CCNP/DP's & one with experience (NP/DP level). Read : 1. Internetworking TEch. overview (CCO) this is an absolute must, however not many who have passed the test seem to refer to this. It certainly has no commands kinda info, but packet types, frame types, layers etc. are plentiful, and these are tested. 2. Caslow : I have mixed responses about caslow, no doubt it is a very good book, no doubt I couldnt have studied some of the topics without it, no doubt that it has a wealth of concentrated info, however one can "bypass it". It is replaceable. 3. Read chapter on ATM & LANE from LAN switching book by Kennedy Clark (Cisco Press). Its the best explanation one can get. 4. If a CCNP, read all the 4 books, read DLSW + RSRB + SRB papers from CCO. 5. Know the boot sequence & the boot register in & out. 6. Lou Rossi's Token Ring Paper 7. Dennis Laganiere's RIF examples (good examples) 8. CCO Blue print(probably the most imp. ), I used to go back and forth forming my own Q's about a particular topic. One can replace Caslow (for written, its an absolute must for LAB) by referring to all the above mentioned material. I would recommend taking Written almost immediately after CCNP, while the material is still fresh. And lastly, the most important is BOSON tests, especially 2 & 3, test 3 has now about 400Q's and that really tests most of the stuff. Experience with actual hardware is important, however I would think that Cisco doesnt rely on actual experience with hardware for this test atleast (NP/DP tests albeit do rely on experience) I would like to thank everyone on this group. now enroute to LAB, and also being part of the exclusive LAB study group (on groupstudy, where else :) Nick Shah Network Engr.
