Re: Book Recommendations [7:10201]
My book, Top-Down Network Design, doesn't cover routing protocols in a lot of depth. Routing TCP/IP, on the hand, has numerous chapters on routing protocols. It's a terrific book. (There's a second volume out now too.) Another excellent book is Designing Routing and Swtiching Architectures by Howard Berkowitz. I think my book is excellent also, :-), but it has a larger scope: analyzing business requirements analyzing technical requirements characterizing performance of the current network documenting the current network predicting traffic flow and volume for the redesign multiprotocol addressing design selecting routing and switching protocols network management design security design physical-layer issues selecting products to implement your design testing your design optimizing your design with fancy queuing, multicast, proxy functions, etc. documenting your design Priscilla At 06:57 PM 6/27/01, you wrote: >Hey everyone, > >I am currently studying for my CCNP, and should have it knocked off in a >couple of months.

Re: Book Recommendations [7:10201]
Do you already have Routing TCP/IP Volume One? It covers OSPF, RIP, IGRP, and EIGRP as well as route maps, all of which you have to know for some of the CCNP tests. For BGP, I'd recommend two books: BGP4: Interdomain Routing in the Internet by John W. Stewart III. Short but truly excellent little book! Internet Routing Architectures, 2nd Edition by Sam Halabi. Another good book for CCNP/CCIE level study is Bridges, Routers, and Switches for CCIE's by Andrew Bruce Caslow. There are probably too many good books to mention, but I've found those to be indispensable.

Re: Book Recommendations [7:10201]
Sam, The books that I have used most, not only for the certs, but also as a day-to-day reference are as follows: *Internet Routing Architectures by Halabi.killer BGP stuff, a friggin" BIBLE! *CCIE Fundamentals: Network Design and Case Studieswill not only give you more than enough for the CCNP and CCIE, but has the most detailed accounts of advanced routing protocol scenarios I have found. *Internetworking Troubleshooting HandbookEvery conceivable problem study from hardware configs on every model of router and switch to software to routing protocols to etc. etc. etc..a TON of symptom/cause cases to reference. *Cisco ATM Solutions...Everything you wanted to know about ATM but were afraid to ask.

I just got my CCNP yesterday. I used three or four books per test: CiscoPress 1) Courseware Book, i.e. Cisco Internetworkign Troubleshooting; 2) CCNP Support Exam Vertification Guide; ExamCram 3) CCNP Support; and Sybex 4) Support by Todd Lammle and et al. A lot of money, but now these bboks are my reference library for my CCIE studies. "Through Complexity there is Simplicity, Through Simplicity there is Complexity" David L.

RE: Book Recommendations [7:10201]
Speaking of books on BGP, I noticed that Doyle's Routing TCP/IP volume 2 goes over BGP. Anyone have a chance to read it yet and how does it rate and compare to say, Internet Routing Architectures? This book is on my "To Read" list but I have not gotten around to it yet.
