RE: CCNP ReCert Questions [7:72071]
Hi PriscillaI'm in the same position as John (Cert expires on the 21st).
But I'm going to give the re-cert a go I've printed out the the MPLS
supplement you suggested to look on, will this be sufficent for the MPLS
portion of the test.Also the Catalyst 5K was the principle switch in the
switching portion 3 years ago.What switch is the switching portion of the
test based on now ???. From: Priscilla Oppenheimer Reply-To:

exam. I'm sorry if I scared you by saying it is hard. It is hard, but
study the IS-IS supplement from Cisco Press and some material on
multilayer switching and eat a lot of blueberries. At least give it a
try. Here's a link on multilayer switching:

Do you know about the free PDF document that Cisco Press put out on
IS-IS for BSCI candidates? When Cisco added IS-IS, Cisco Press didn't
have a book out yet that covered it (from a BSCI viewpoint anyway), so
they put out a PDF. Here's a link:

Good luck whichever way you go, but I definitely recommend not
lettting your CCNP disappear, even temporarily. Priscilla
Anyone know if the Composite will count towards things like CCIP? If
it doesn't I'd just take the 4 exam route. Thanks John

RE: CCNP ReCert Questions [7:72071]
I really do hate thinking I will lose it, but with any good luck it
should only be expired for a few weeks. I plan to write the 4 exams
within about a 4-5 week timeframe.
I don't really have enough time to do it for the 21st, unless all I do
is braindump it, but would prefer to go over all the material to
remember what I forgot and go over whatever is new, instead. I figure
this way I'll end up writing BSCI which help in going for any of the
CCIP's. I would have preferred just to write the Composite exam then I
could renew CCNP and CCDP at the same time. But such is life with Cisco
Certs.
Thanks for the IS-IS document.

Re: CCNP ReCert Questions [7:72071]
Two other problems with Cisco beta exams is that they are often loaded with errors (meaning you can get an answer right, but not get the points), and that you don't learn the results for months. In your case, you'd spend two months not knowing if you're CCNP is valid (I couldn't handle the pressure if it were me)...
