I still get their weekly emails and I received my last email (non-automatic)
from them last Wednesday. As for their forums being closed, there's a
message
on that page indicating that section is currently undergoing redesign
("CertificationZone is currently in the process of redesigning this portion
of
our Website") and that all registered members will be notified when the
redesign is complete.
If you were a paying subscriber, you may have been removed from their weekly
mailouts (this happened to me a long long time ago). I'm not sure if the
free
memberships have an expiration, but that might be why you're not receiving
their weekly email anymore. Anyway, here's last week's email (the next one
is
due today). I can forward to you all missed weekly emails if you'd like.
So no, nothing's up with Certificationzone. It's business-as-usual there.

1) July is the Time for CCIE and CCNP Candidates to Get RIP-ed at the
ZONE
==========================================================================
Distance vector routing and interior routing protocol problems are
encountered frequently by networking professionals both in the real
world and on the CCIE Qualification, CCIE Lab, and the CCNP Routing
Exams. A strong understanding of the key technical concepts of RIP will
help you solve these problems. Rita Puzmanova, an internationally
recognized RIP expert and author, has prepared an outstanding Tutorial
explaining RIP in concise, easy-to-understand language. Her Tutorial
is featured in the CCIE/CCNP-level Study Guide for July, which debuted
at the ZONE yesterday.
Along with her Tutorial, Puzmanova has crafted 25 challenging
questions to help users assess their readiness to answer the types of
RIP problems they can expect to encounter on Cisco's exams. John
Neiberger has put together a six-step, five-router Lab Scenario that
requires users to apply their RIP knowledge and experience to a
real-world networking application.
If you're an active ZONE Subscriber, you now have access to all three
components of the RIP Study Guide. If you're a ZONE Member, you'll be
able to assess your knowledge of RIP with 25 of Puzmanova's Study
Questions during the month of July.

2) IP Routing Tutorial Available to ZONE Members in July
==========================================================================
You cannot pass the CCNA exam unless you understand IP Routing and
no one explains the key concepts of IP Routing like the ZONE's
Technical Director, Howard Berkowitz. In July, ZONE Members have free
access to Howard's excellent IP Routing Tutorial. Don't let this
opportunity pass you by. You'll find it at:
http://www.certificationzone.com/studyguides/?Issue=9
3) New 1-Month ZONE Subscription Available
==========================================================================
In celebration of Independence Day, the ZONE is pleased to announce
that a special one-month ZONE subscription is available during the
month of July at a cost of just $39.95.
So, if you're a Member of the ZONE who's been hesitant to become a

involved with one of our longer term subscription options, here's your
chance to experience open and unrestricted access to every ZONE
Tutorial, Study Question, Lab Scenario, and Practice Exam offered at
our website, for the next thirty days.
Order your one-month subscription at:

4) ZONE's New Term of the Week
==========================================================================
Periodic vs. Triggered Updates
------------------------------
One of the jobs of Routing protocols is to distribute the route
information among all the routers that need it. This is done by
sending out routing table updates.
Periodic updates contain the entire routing table and are sent at
pre-specified intervals.
Triggered updates are sent after a topology change occurs, e.g., an
interface goes up or down; a route becomes unreachable or reachable;
or a new route is added. They contain only information on modified
routes. To avoid floods of triggered updates in case of flapping
interface(s), distance vector routing protocols' implementations limit
their frequency (after 1 to 5 s following the last triggered update).
Find out more about Distance Vector routing protocols and RIP update
policies in this month's RIP Study Guide by Rita Puzmanova. For the
month of July, Members have access to the Study Questions; Subscribers
have full access to all three components: the Tutorial, the Study
Questions, and the Lab Scenario for the entire duration of their
subscription at:
http://www.certificationzone.com/studyguides/?Issue=54
