Re: OT: Recertification

I am going to be in the same boat now... But mine is going to be a lot
tougher I assume... Been immersed in the Junos world for about 3 years ...
The last time I did a Cisco recertification I failed the first time... Had
to study hard again to pass it the second time... I am guessing this time it
is going to be hard as well... I am thinking CCIE-SP since I recently got my
JNCIE... Do excuse me but its been awhile since I attempted a Cisco exam.
Any tips, suggestions on how to approach this... The blueprint looks cool...
Just need some advice... Any vendors have material for the written...

Cheers,
Hoogen
