Most of the Sybex books I've read have been too "dummied down" to be of any use by themselves, but Todd Lammle's writing style is easy enough to understand that you can take a technology you know nothing about, read a couple pages, then have a handle on the basics of it. From there it's easier (for me at least) to cross reference with a more detailed book without getting mired down in the jargon. The ciscopress books worked nicely for me along those lines, as the old ciscopress ccnp books read like stereo instructions.
For the IGP's on the routing exam, you may want to check out Solie's CCIE Practical Studies book. It goes into more detail than you need to for the NP exams, but everything is demonstrated in lab walk-thru exercises that you can set up with a few routers. I haven't checked out the ciscopress books for any of the NP exams (I took mostly the older versions) but you may want to pick that up, as Solie's book doesn't cover BGP. > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert Kulagowski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 1:13 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Errata for Coriolis books?
