Re: CCIE Service Providerv3 - General Question

To All,

The best way to approach this is to go through the SP-CCNA/SP-CCNP
classes/materials, recently the old MPLS was removed and it was replaced
with the new SP CCNA and CCNP, which i think was the BEST move Cisco has
ever made for SP certs.

You can start with SPNGN1 and then SPNGN2 for your CCNA
end then for SP-CCNP you need 4 courses: SPRoute, SPAdvRoute, SPCore,
SPEdge.

One of the best curriculums
