Wiz,
The blueprint for the written changed quite a bit back in the summer of '07;
definitely upgrade your Cisco Press "Certification Guide," which has since
been updated to reflect the new v3.x content.
But I feel this book is week in some key areas (was shocked the other day to
see that the BGP best path selection process was considered by the authors
to be "lengthy" and "outside the scope of this book" - gasp!).
Best,
Scott

Subject: Starting my journey again after three years
Greetings,
I took my first shot at CCIE RS lab exam almost three years ago and did not
pass it. Since then I am working on L4-L7 stuff and kind of away from
traditional routing and switching world. Now I have decided to go back and
study again. My written is obviously expired. So that will be my first step
now. I am working in Networking for past 10 years. over the course of this
time, I have purchased and studied many cisco press books. Now I need to go
back to these books and start preparing for my written exam. Couple of days
ago, when I took my cisco press books from my shelf (all were dusty) and
started reading, I realize that I still know lots of stuff from them, and it
felt like I will be wasting lots of time going thru these books, I really
need some condensed form so I can quickly brush up my skills. Is any one
aware of any such books?
At my first lab attempt [almost three years ago] I bought IPexpert work book
(version 7 I believe) and its proctor guide. The material was great,
unfortunately I did not even complete first 5 labs before sitting in the
lab. I still have those books, I am wondering if those are still relavent or
should I buy new work books?
My current employer may be willing to pay for ccie bootcamp. I am wondering
if there are any good ones (for written and lab) in New York city?
many thanks
Wiz
