Just took and passed the CCNP Routing 2.0 exam. I thought this test was pretty hard, the wording on some of the questions was just rediculous in some cases. The rumors are true, there is NO bridging/queueing/isdn/appletalk/ipx on this exam. A LOT of BGP, and I do mean a lot. Here's what I used for study material: Advanced Cisco Router Configuration / Cisco Press (ignore all the bridging/queueing/isdn/appletalk/ipx.. study the hell out of the routing protocol chapters.) Internet Routing Architectures / Cisco Press - very very good BGP book.. it seemed like half the test was BGP, so I'd definitely recommend reading this book. A lot, lot, lot of Cisco's online documentation for EIGRP, OSPF, and BGP. Know route maps and route filtering very very well. A good amount of hands on experience with BGP/OSPF. Luckily I work at an ISP so have had some very good hands on experience working with OSPF and BGP, if you don't work in an anvironment where you have access to this stuff I'd recommend setting up whatever kind of lab you can. It may be a good idea for a lot of people wanting to take this exam to wait for the Cisco Press Building Scalable Cisco Networks book to come out in august, since I sort of mixed and matched various study sources to get the material I needed to pass this exam. I'm on to BCMSN now, hope the road isn't too bumpy :) Paul ___________________________________ UPDATED Posting Guidelines: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/guide.html FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
