I need your guy's advice on CCNP help please...
Okay. I passed my switch exam for CCNP. I only have like 3.5 months until TSHOOT and ROUTE current/old expire. My thoughts are I am not sure I am ready to pass both TSHOOT and ROUTE same time with maybe 1 week of each other. So my plan is this:
I will hammer study my ROUTE exam and push to pass ROUTE. And I will just study the new stuff that is different than the current ROUTE/SWITCH so I can pass the new TSHOOT.
is this a good idea or should I cram and pass both maybe 2 weeks apart but study both?
what do you guys think?
I think my gut says pass ROUTE and then study difference and then take TSHOOT. Cisco allow mixing of certs right?
ROUTE SWITCH expired with new TSHOOT=CCNP?
is this right?
thanks men.
oh yeah I still love my job;hahaahhaha

I was actually wondering the same thing, and whether I could mix and match the exams to obtain the CCNP. Thanks for clarifying that OfWolfAndMan.

-Stackwise
-NTP (You'll know this if you took NA Security)
-VRF (Covered in the CCNP ROUTE Simplified book)
-SNMP setup (Not sure why this wasn't in there before. They had log messages, but that was about it.)
-IPv6 addon (From what I was told. ROUTE covers v6 in detail though)
-EVN (No clue)
-DMVPN (Finally)
-Netflow
Never heard of it either, but...

itdaddy, I know what you mean! CCIE may be a goal of mine in the next few years as well (Probably want to hit the written in the next year or two).
Apparently the Cisco DocCD seems to be a big recommendation for IE candidates to know about.

I'm working on enriching my multicast knowledge now. So cool!
I have been using the Simplified series books, cbt nuggets, and the cisco lab manuals to prepare. That's it.
Good luck with your CCNP.
1. Pass Route by Jan 2015
2. Pass TSHOOT new by maybe next May-June 2015...
3. Since CCNPv2 is on target with CCIEv5 I a good not wasting time.
4. Take 2 years studying written and LAB practice and test written end of 2nd year.
5. Then study LAB for 10 months attempt 1
6. I have 8 months to try attempt 2 lab.
7. GO BIG OR GO HOME!
