CCNP Route PASSED
I just got back from taking the Route exam and man was I surprised. It is one challenging exam that tests you on EVERY single topic covered in the Route book. Let's just say, I barely squeezed by with 30 or so points above the passing mark. One thing I did learn from this exam is that I need to spend more time on the the…

Redundancy ( or lack of) on the TSHOOT topology
I found an interesting scenario in the TSHOOT topology and wanted to see if anyone wanted to comment on it. I have recreated the topo using only the information given by Cisco using real hardware. I have also attached the topology from Cisco's website. At first glance the L2 topology looks redundant. However while testing…

Some basic questions about CCNP-Security
I'm strongly considering going after the CCNP-Security track instead of the CCNP-R&S one (due to interest, time, and money).

The down-side is that it'll…
