I hope I don't have to go through the NP recert, if I pass my IE Lab next
month.
Sounds like a waste of time going through NP recert while you are working on
your IE lab exam. (having to read Appletalk, TR..etc for NP recert).
I am betting on my IE lab results. Huh...lets see.

If you pass your CCIE by then, you will automatically recert your NP/DP.

What are you guys using to do the recert? Are there any books tailored to
the test or are you studying all of the course material? Any help is
appreciated. I have to recert by next Feb. ugh...

Thanks!
