Information for passing CCNP Route

Silverymoon

If you are being training with a website that gives you netacad access you may not need this stuff. They we do exam **** questions and labs that are like the one on the test. If you want to pass like I did but only have the books then this is the guide for you.

First if you passed your ccna without netacad, then you will need to get the following books and learn everything. see ciscopress.com
Introduction to Networks
Connecting Networks
Routing and Switching Essentials
Scaling Networks

For the CCNA labs I used Network Simulator but if you search online you can find lots of labs for the ccna. The labs are easy if you know the stuff in the above books. I could not do all of the Network Simulator until after I passed the test. CCENT ICND1 test is harder than the CCNA INCD2 one.

On youtube search for Fall 2015 - CTS265-840 - CCNP ROUTE (Cisco NetAcad)
Note the switch ones he has just started, SPRING 2016 - CTS266-840 - CCNP SWITCH (AACC Cisco NetAcad)

Note for the only hard labs for the CCNP, the TShoot ones the Exam Topology can be found here.

Things to avoid,
Don't learn the questions for the test from the **** sites, its pointless and people fail the test everytime they change the questions. A few months of study and you can ace the test easly. Labs are simple as hell, if you understand what you are doing. You don't need to do any labs to pass but its easier to learn stuff this way. The exam labs I got were a joke, very easy to do but I rushed them and lost points. Don't do that when you do the test. After the test you can find out what you did not know from **** if you must and find areas of study you missed. You can find the lab topologies online too if you feel like it but really its not needed to labs are easy. The stuff I have posted should get you 850+/1000 at least. Please admin don't just ban me, tell me first if a site is not appropriate here and I will gladly never post it again. -zx128k
