It would be best if you have the equipments to play with.

For MCRI and MCSI, there is a book coming out soon by CiscoPress on Network
Management.  There is not much material on CCO.  There is a PDF on MCRI test
ebjective.  I am using CiscoWorks 2000 to get ready for both exams (will be
implementing it into our network).  Everything on both exams are part of
CiscoWorks except for HP Open View. (I am tring to get our company to get
that also ;-)

Good luck
Albert

Subject: CCIE Detour


Hello All,

I'm going to take a detour before I take the CCIE Lab. Between the CCIE
written and the CCIE Lab, I want to take the following exams. The question
is, do anyone of you have recommendations for these "off the beaten path"
exams? Books, practice tests, etc?

MCNS #640-442 (Managing Cisco Network Security)
MCRI #640-443 (Managing Cisco Routed Internetworks)
MCSI #640-444 (Managing Cisco Switched Internetworks)

Thanks!
