... because I'm into extra letters. I can use them as a shorthand notation for my experience with a product, which is what matters most.

deanwebb needs his Certified Internet Webmaster certifications (CIW) for running this place for over a year now.

My CCNP textbooks are still for the previous versions. Planning to take the ROUTE to renew this year, but I'm wondering if it's worth getting the new text book or study the new topics separately? Think it's just DMVPN that was added and the rest is more or less the same?

Lucky you, there's a new official cert guide to consider... I think that's all that got added.

Currently studying for my CCNP Switch 300-115 exam in April. The resources I am using are Udemy-Chris Bryant and CBT nuggets- Jeremy Cioara. Both are video courses and I am learning a TON from them! I also bought Switch Lab videos on Udemy but havent started any of them. Any other resources you guys recommend?...to be honest Im not much of a reader LOL the old saying that pictures/videos are a worth a thousand words are very true in my case!

I used this app heavily when I was studying for it, but it hasn't been updated for the new exams:

Plus also the FLG and OCG books, GNS3vault labs and anything else I could get my hands on.

Changing my decision on which test to use to re-cert my CCNP: going with SIMOS, since VPN stuff is still the same old VPN stuff and the firewall test also brings in the worst stuff of the old SECURE exam. Eugh. Just need to get supplemental materials on FlexVPN and I can re-use my old 642-648 VPN book for everything else.

I gotta throw down the hammer and buy the TSHOOT Cert Guide 300-135, I still got most of the year, but need to get reading.

I couldn't even build up a OSPF neighborship yesterday, then started troubleshooting and found the vlan SVI was SHUT on one device.
That got me so many times...

Don't tell me you're one of those weirdos who likes forming OSPF adjacencies across trunks.   :problem?:

access port, it was in a pinch in the lab, working with IPSLA,  wanted to see how the OSPF routing table changed on an adjacent router when the IPSLA set off.

Cool, if I was to do another cert. it'd be RH.

Last time I did the TSHOOT, the book wasn't really relevant for the exam. It was mostly just troubleshooting what you learned in the other exams. There were some neat tricks in the book though :)
