Configuring VPN's in the Real World
Do people configure VPN's via the GUI, or CLI? It seems like a lot of effort to use the CLI, and much more likely you'll end up making a mistake... how's it done in the "real world"?

FLG or OCG
I've read reviews that say the Official Cert Guide is lacking and to use the Foundation Learning Guide and then other reviews say the FLG is full of errors and you should use the Official Cert Guide. I was just wondering what everyone's experience was with these books.

CCNP Crossroads
I don't know about anyone else, but after CCNP I feel as if I am without a definite cert goal for this year. Right now I want to do by end of year, either CCIE Written, CCDA+CCDP, or perhaps something different like RHEL. I don't know which will give me the most ROI, but I my goals are ultimately to work from home so I…

About to start down the CCNP route...pun intended.
I have decided to get back on the horse after who knows how long. My CCNA is about to expire in 8 months so I figured why not do something to renew it.

CCNP apps?
I am about to embark on the CCNP journey. I am going to start with Skillport and CBTnuggets.

That way if I am stuck somewhere with time to kill, I can…

CCNP renewed via SWITCH pass.

CCNP switch equipment
Im looking at purchasing 2 3550s and 2 3560s for my studies. I read their were some features not available on the 3550s that I would need 3560s for. I only want to spend the money once. Will I still be able to do everything I need when I move on to CCIE with a couple 3550s and 3560s? Thank you

CCNP Voice track question
So just the other day I realized that CCNP Voice track does not require the core CCNP Route/Switch/Tshoot. Has it always been like this?

QoS is about 70% of the exam blue print so make sure you know how to do QoS really well in…

So I took the ROUTE exam today ...
First off, I don't post here much but I have been a long time lurker. Always useful to read the forums to see what questions other people come up with - sometimes stuff you wouldn't think of.

Switch seems to have a lot more trivia then Route

Question On Dynamic NAT
