I just passed CCENT woohooooooo!!!! I would like to thank you all for pointing me in the right direction on how to start and were to study

. For anyone starting out like everyone here says hit up CBT with Jeremy it is a excellent starting point. That including Odem book (I know.... its big and boring but has to be done) got me through the exam.
Only thing I would like to point out for me was OSPF wasn't explained to well in the book or CBT IMO. Fortunatly I had a few CCNP friends willing to explain enough to me

. If I asked them to explain everything they might have scared me away haha. Any best of luck in your exam, I am off to study for my CCNA.
