I leave in a few minutes to take the CATM 2.1 test. I have been studying mostly material from the official CATM 2.1 class, cisco.com, and the boson tests. I have assembled information into study notes that I felt would help me. WARNING: This is FAR from complete. I only put down information I felt could be bulleted easily. I didn't put anything down about LANE 1/2, MPOA, SSRP, and tons of other stuff. Don't think this is some blueprint to the test, read it and try to take it, because you will fail :). However if you are studying for CATM 2.1, you may find some of this helpfull to glance at. Lots of acronyms in CATM 2.1. If anyone has any study notes for CVOICE or MCNS please email them to me, I am taking MCNS in a few days, and CVOICE in about 2 weeks.
