[7:39553] Yomi, I understand your plight. (Feel your pain) Depending on your level of experience with (actual hands on time) you will need to start with a solid foundation of RFC's. If you would like to save a lot of money start with CCIE Study Guide by Hutnik / Satterlie go to half.com and buy used for 29.00us. When you get to a standards based question go to the appropriate RFC. I would also recomend purchasing the Cisco Documentation CD. But as Chuck stated hands on is the key I am a totally unauthorized instructor (unbiased)and recommend 30 - 40 hours of hands on prior to taking any test. There are a number of lab resources available for rent. Todd Lammle www.lammle.com or http://www.routersim.com/ has published an excellent Virtual Lab for CCNP. Hope this opinion helps. Terry L.

[7:39553] Hi Guys, I'm just about to start climbing the CCNP ladder and I need suggestions. What books to start reading etc. Some friends are saying the BCSN Cisco press books are too confusing and I'm more better of using other authors. Any suggestions please?!!!!!
