The Bruno book is just a place to start. It will at least give you an introduction to each of the topics...
I would recommend reading both of Doyle's Routing TCP/IP books, Sam Halabi's Internet Routing Architectures, Caslow's Cisco Certification, as well as a good MPLS book. I'm the author of one of the Boson exams for this test (which means I have a bit of an agenda), so I think those are useful too... I also put together a fairly basic study guide for this exam that you can download from www.cramsession.com (but you have to really look around to find the free version)... Lastly, I put together a bunch of free material at www.laganiere.net I hope that helps give you a place to start getting ready for a second attempt. As hard as the qualifying exam is, trust me, the lab is much worse... --- Dennis ----- Original Message ----- From: "Panella Todd" To: Sent: Monday, February 03, 2003 3:02 PM Subject: Blown Away By The New CCIE Written [7:62396] > Has anyone taken the new format of the written test?
