* Best way is to take the cisco recommended course BSCN, use the book study and pass the exam.
* second best way is to buy/rent a pod of 4-5 routers, use it in conjunction with the cisco press book and pass the exam. * third best way use the cisco press book, router sim (at the ccnp stage you shouldnt ideally use the routersim), get boson, study and pass the exam. BSCN is a little toughie (hit hard on redistribution, route maps, OSPF, some BGP, VLSM/FLSM concepts). People who have gone thru the CCNP track have reported that BSCN is prolly the toughest of the other 3. However if you use the first and/or the second way to prepare, you shouldnt have any probs. in passing it.
