| Yankee or anyone, I passed my Cisco CCNA 1.0 on July 14th. I want to hit the CCNP hard but materials are scare it seems especially with the Routing test. What test would you advice me to take first for CCNP 2.0. Which one did you find to be the easiest. I did pick up the old ACRC book by Lammle. I thought I could read that until Lammles book comes out later this year.
Thanks!

| "Difficulty" of an exam is not easy to define because alot depends on experience. If you worked on LANs all the time you won't have done much with routers but may be great with switches.
Secondly the old exams are history after today so what was easier may not be any longer... I have taken the CLSC and will take the BCMSN in a couple of weeks so that I'll have some idea of the differences between ver 1 and 2 exams.
If you want to do the BSCN first you can start with the ACRC book and read about OSPF and EIGRP. Those two ought to keep you busy until the new book hits the shelf.
Good luck to ya,

| Yankee, Is the new 2.0 ACRC test basically the same except it has more BGP than OSPF? Is that basically the difference? Can I pretty much read the old ACRC book and then learn about BGP when the new book comes out and be set?
Thanks! | |

| I haven't taken the ver 2 exam, but from what I've read that's the primary difference. I also read they don't test on DDR or bridging on the BSCN. The objectives also mention things like policy routing that aren't in the ACRC.
My advice would be to read the EIGRP and OSPF parts of the ACRC while you wait for the BSCN book to come out or if you are real brave use the ACRC book and the Cisco paper on BGP.
Me, I'll wait for the new book cuz I already did the ACRC.
