CCNP Progress: Passed the 642-801!!
So, I finally passed another CCNP test! I actually took this test back in September and failed it by just a few questions. I’ve been extremely busy with other stuff since then, but found time here and there to study and fill in my knowledge gaps. The book that pushed me over the passing edge is none other than Routing TCP/IP, Volume I. I felt that this test was very difficult (I did fail it the first time after all). You’re expected to know 7 routing protocols faily intimately, subnetting, VLSM, controlling routing updates, redistribution, and on. It seemed like once I finished learning the last routing protocol, I forgot the first one. Jeff Doyle’s book certainly helped since it put everything into perspective and was very approachable. Highly recommended, even if you just use it as a desk reference. Well, onward to BCRAN and CIT!
Yes, I realize that the BCRAN and CIT are expired, but I’m a Cisco Networking Academy student and am able to take them through the end of this year.
