RE: coursebooks IP Telephony Support Specialist exams [7:51382]
Tom, I am doing the same thing for the same reason you are. I am currently preparing for DQoS and I am using the IP Quality of Service book. It seems to cover everything, but in my opinion is a bit jumbled. Vegesna covers some topics seemingly out of order and assumes some knowledge of concepts and acronyms (of which there are MANY) early in the book that are not covered until much later or not all. Much of what is in the book is almost word for word what is on CCO but this puts it all in one place.

The three telephony support exams are: * 9E0-402 Cisco IP Telephony (CIPT) Coursebook: Cisco IP Telephony * 9E0-423 Cisco Voice Over Frame Relay, ATM, and IP (CVOICE) Coursebook: Cisco Voice over Frame Relay, ATM, and IP * 9E0-601 Deploying QoS for Enterprise Networks (DQoS) Coursebook: ? The book that looks closest to the DQoS exam is "IP Quality of Service" by Srinivas Vegesna. I'd appreciate if someone who is studying for the DQoS exam or passed it (or the CIPT and CVOICE) would tell me which book they're using to prepare. -- TIA, TT Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=51390&t=51382 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: coursebooks IP Telephony Support Specialist exams [7:51382]
I have a few comments on this. 1) CIPT At least in my case, the CIPT book wasnt enough for me to pass the exam (failed by less than 1%, but failed is failed). You may want to look into the Cisco Press - Call manager fundamentals book for supplementary study. 2) DQOS The IP Quality of Service book is not sufficient for this exam. DQOS is not just about QOS, but also about the tools available for deploying it. Have a good reread of the Blueprint for the exam (and preferably more than a few days before the exam - like I did). The information you need to know is all available on CCO (Tutorials, overviews, demos of the tools), but you have to do some searching. In terms of covering CCIE material you may want to look at the MCAST+QOS exam blueprint. This has significantly more core QOS material in the blueprint than DQOS. (in my opinion) Regards Peter Walker CISSP, CSS1, CCIP, CCNP, etc PS. I really should get around to retaking the CIPT exam. PPS.

I'll also post in a couple of days (this weekend) after I look aroudn. Regarding the tools, I saw this list on the DQOS Blueprint: * QoS Device Manager * QoS Policy Manager * Cisco Service Assurance Agent * IPM * SMS Are there others you'd recommend? One more question (probably should start a new thread but what the heck): Have you or anyone else "turned the corner" from IP telephony to full-blown multimedia / multiservice or even just to videoconferencing? What does it take to add even just one more service, specifically videoconferencing, to one's bag of skills after learning CIPT, CVOICE and DQOS material? And the big question, Are the tools and application endsystems for video going to be expensive? -- TIA, TT Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=51414&t=51382 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hmmm, why does groupstudy mangle my address. All the other lists I am on handle this correctly. It goes out correctly formatted (and rfc compliant) but the groupstudy mailer software insists on interpretting the stuff inside the quotes. > From: "Peter Walker : CISSP, CSS1, CCNP, CCIP, TISCA" "\"\"Peter Walker : CISSP"@groupstudy.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], TISCA wrote: Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=51440&t=51382 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sorry, but since taking the exam I have moved from the US to the UK, and my usual PC is (hopefully) on a ship somewhere between california and the UK. > > Regarding the tools, I saw this list on the DQOS Blueprint: > > * QoS Device Manager > * QoS Policy Manager > * Cisco Service Assurance Agent > * IPM > * SMS That sounds about right. > > Are there others you'd recommend?

I occasionally look to see if the C&S (Voice) CCIE blueprint is published as I might take a shot at that when it is, but other than that I will be concentrating on my CCIE (security) lab study once my lab stuff arrives here and I figure out how to afford an attempt at the lab ($1500 is a lot of money when you are unemployed - actually it is a lot of money when you are employed). I hope to find an employer that will pay for the lab exam, but we will have to wait and see.
