Re: Question Regarding Study Material

What does your current lab look like? You may not need rack-rentals,
have you ever used Dynamips/GNS3? Other than being cheap and flexible,
recommend dynamips because it makes taking packet captures very easy
at any point in the network. That can help a lot do get a deep
understanding of how certain protocols work.

I don't think anything can really make up for real experience, but
good books and getting under the hood with labs can go a long way.

My favorite (top 3) books for the CCIE Lab/Written:

Routing TCP/IP Volume I & II
MPLS Fundamentals
CCIE R&S Exam Guide Certification Guide

The above are most directly related to the exam topics.

Beyond that, I highly recommend that any network engineer own and read
the following: (These are not directly related to the R&S).

Internetworking with TCP/IP /Comer
TCP/IP Illustrated /Stevens
Interconnections /Pearlman

You see these three mentioned a lot, but its for a damn good reason.
I've read them front to back, some multiple times.
