Do the topics covered in CCDP _really_ help in the R/S lab? To be more specific... If someone already has CCNP, has passed the written, and is fairly comfortable with the devices on the lab (and others), then would it be better to study CCDP specific issues, or is it more 'time effective' to study BGP, DLSW+, etc.? I definitely agree that going for CCNP first is 'time effective' for starting anew, and I'm not 'trolling', but I would like your, and others', opinion on this issue. > Whatever you decide, best of luck with your studies and exams. > > Regards > > Jon CCIE RS > Nottingham UK. > > > > ""sisco"" wrote in message > [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > > Hi All! > > I just passed a ccna exam and i'm just confused if i'm going to > > take CCNP or jump into CCIE exam. > > > > Need ur opinion. > > > > thnks!
