There seems to be a lot of concern about the migration to the so called CCNP
2.0 track.
First of all, the certification is CCNP. There are no levels, no hierarchy
of values. My BA degree is of the same relative value as the BA of a 1950
graduate or a 1999 graduate. A CCIE who attained his certification is no
different than a CCIE who got the cert last month.
Second of all while I appreciate the anxiety, the fact is that the core
competencies will remain unchanged. Know your access lists. Know the Cisco
troubleshooting methodology. Know OSPF, EIGRP, Token Ring, ISDN and DDR,
switches, VLAN's, spanning tree, VTP. Know how to configure and how to
troubleshoot. That means show and debug commands and outputs. Yes, there is
more BGP now.
As far as "2.0" materials, what is a book titled "CCNP 2.0" going to say
about OSPF that a book titled "CCNP 1.0" doesn't say?
Also, there are a wealth of materials freely available on CCO. All the books
draw upon this material. If you have the means, spend some time
familiarizing yourself with what is available. I am currently using two
different CID/CCDP books as part of my test preparation. One of those books,
The Cisco Press publication, even goes so far as to refer readers to CCO for
many subjects where more detail is required. So you know that CCO has it
all.
Just concentrate on learning the technologies. The rest will take care of
itself.
