| It wasn't my favorite book. I really liked the little lablets he had in there because you could use those to focus on a particular technology you were having trouble with. I did one or two of the long labs, and then didn't bother after that. Many errors, subjective questions and solutions, etc. Sometimes they didn't even complete the solution to match the criteria. ISIS is one example that comes to mind.

| Thanks Madchaf....

| I still think Solie is a good book for the purposes I mentioned. Caslow is always good. I liked Doyle vII for BGP.

Solie was on the engineering staff at the company where I learned my WAN stuff. He's a very knowledgable man. I can't speak for the book, since I don't own it, but I can speak for the author.

| i'm using it
it's slightly painfull ,
but i think it was rushed to press.
how else could you explain configs and
diagrams not matching.
it is helping though on focusing on configuring certain things and working through the problems.
i'm using it to move to certain level of comforability to move to the next stage.
i have to skip atm, isdn due to lack of equipment.
but for dial and igp's it's ok.
no coverage of bgp , but that's what halabi's for. | |

| The best source for reading material is Cisco website. Most of these Cisco books authors get all there information/material from the Cisco website. I have several Cisco books (about 20)and each one of them has 60% to 85% word for word from Cisco website. My plan is to stop buying all these books and get more info on Cisco website.
Even for lab, everything is on the Cisco website. I have a high speed internet connection so it very easy for me to read everything on the Internet. I would like to know people's comments. | |

| Saqi, which lab do you want books for? Your bio says you're already a CCIE, so I'm sure you don't want a reading list for R&S if you're already one, right?  | |
|
| I've got some good feed back from BRAD ELLIS about CCIE R/S LAB, I am sure his advise is always meaning full, here is recommendation.
-----
I used the caslow book and the halabi book as well as the ccbootcamp.com
labs. I was NOT affiliated with Network Learning inc until I bought and
used their labs. I thought the labs were so good, I bought half of the
company! 
------
Here's your minimum hit list:
Caslow's book
Halabi's book
ccbootcamp labs
after that:
doyle's book
solie's new book
-------------
make sure you have LOTS of hands-on rack time before you even think of
attempting the lab. spend $15k, setup a home lab, and rent ATM/voice rack
time. that seems to be working for a lot of people (i spent $25k on a home
lab and rented ATM rack time for my R&S ccie cert).
thanks,

| Check your local Cisco office, they will let you use their lab to practice on. I went to the local Cisco guys here in Mississippi and they are allowing me to use the lab at anytime for any length of time.
GOOD NIGHT |
