RE: What's next after CCNP AND CCDP [7:52611]
Shawn, Good Point. The books that I am using to Study for the CCIE Written are: Managing Cisco Network Security - cisco Press Routing TCP/IP Vol 1 and 2 - doyle Cisco LAN Switching - Clark Internet Routing Architectures - Halabi CCIE practical Studies Vol 1 - Solie Hope this helps.

The knowledge gained by the Security specialization may help with the CCIE lab. The reason I say this is because the RS CCIE Written 350-001 pre-qualification exam blueprint shows Security as a topic you must understand for this exam. This leads me to believe that you may possibly be asked to configure some basic Security-based solutions when taking the RS CCIE lab. Cisco states, The Routing and Switching Lab exam tests any feature that can be configured on the equipment in the Equipment List, except for LAT, DECnet, Apollo, Banyan VINES, ISO CLNS, XNS, ATM LANE, X.25, and Appletalk. Nothing is said about Security being exempt from the RS CCIE lab. However, I also believe that major testing of Security-based solutions would be tested on the Security CCIE lab. Just be aware that you could possibly see some Security on the standard RS CCIE lab.

Re: What's next after CCNP AND CCDP [7:52611]
You are going to have a hard time passing the lab if you do not have actual equipment. So your first step should be to buy some equipment.

RE: What's next after CCNP AND CCDP [7:52611]
The road to CCIE is long and arduous, you will absolutely need hands-on, so if you opt not to purchase any home lab equipment you can rent remote access to a lab from places like ccbootcamp.com, bradshawlabs.com or any of the many others out there (sorry - no promo intended). As far as books and topics, CCO is the best initial resource for finding a good path. Take a look at the site to get an idea of just how long the road to the 5 digits will be.

RE: What's next after CCNP AND CCDP [7:52611]
It depends upon your background I would say. Do you have any background or interest in the security side of things. If you do then the CSS1 is just for more courses and/or tests and probably could be completed in about 6 months or less. Understand that all the CSS1 tests are about to change in the next 6 to 8 weeks. You seem to have the knowledge and drive to pass the CCNP and CCDP which is great so continuing on to the CCIE Routing and Switching could also be the next logical step. I would start with studying for the CCIE Routing and Switching Written test. That should take you about 4 to 6 weeks of gooding reading of such books like the Cisco Press Internetworking Technlogies Handbook which most chapters can be found on Cisco website also. Try the written test first and then see what you think. You can always go back to the security stuff later. Understand the CCIE Routing and Switch Lab test is another big challenge and will demand a lot of time and commitment on your part. Most folks spend at least a year or close to two years getting ready for the lab exam and take it 3 or 4 times just to pass. You need lots of studying, reading and lots and lots and lots of practice on real Cisco gear. Either way get signed up for the other groupstudy lists once you have decided. Best of luck in your new challenges. Christopher M. Heffner Strategic Network Solutions, Inc.
