I finally passed the routing exam on Monday. I used the following books: 1) Routing TCP/IP by Doyle. An excellent book about internal routing protocols like OSPF,EIGRP,RIP and redistribution. 2) Internet routing architectures by Halabi. A good book about BGP. 3) CCNP routing Exam certification guide by Cisco Press. An excellent book for the BSCN exam. 4) Building Scalable Cisco Networks by Paquet. I personally found the exam certification guide better 5) Routing certification guide and exam notes by Sybex. It is good to read the last week before the exam. It do not go into details. 6) Routing exam cram. It is totally waste of money.I personally like the examcram books and I have used it a lot for the cisco exams but this book is not good. 7) IP routing fundamentals. Cisco press. It is about routing protocols in general and is good for getting fundamental knowledge but not specially for the exam. 8) OSPF network design solutions by Thomas M Thomas, cisco Press. It is better for deeper knowledge of OSPF. 9) OSPF Anatomy of an internet routing protocol. Moy (He designed the OSPF protocol) it is excellent book about ospf and I will read it again for the CCIE R/S written 10) BGP4 Internet domain routing in the internet by Stewart. I need to read that book a few more times to compleatly understand it. I took the boson test 2 and 3 and the questions were of the same difficulty as the actual exam. I work as a WAN administrator at the Icelandic Banks Data Senter and have about 4 years experience with cisco routers so configuring ospf and simple BGP is not new to me. Yet I found the exam difficult so do not underestimate it.
I will now continue studying for the CCIE R/S written exam and I am looking for buying a few books for it. On this list many people have read and recommended books by Caslow. I looked his name up on www.amazon.com and found that he has written many books about cisco. What book(s) by him did you read for the CCIE? Can you give me the ISBN number please. This list have helped me immensely and thank you all for keeping this list going.
