Fellas.
I'm thinking to start CCNP, but I have heard that all CCNP's exams will change in Sept, so should I wait till sept ? also, which books do I need buy in order to be CCNP?
Thanks

The first thing you need is a lab of cisco routers and switches. The exams will expire and be replaced on Sept 7 2003, but the base information will remain. They simply start throwing in the up coming stuff they want us to know about. -

Also, if you start with the BSCI exam (like most people do) you don't have to worry about it at all. Since the BSCI 1.0 exam was already a fairly new exam (replaced BSCN exam a while back) the content has not changed and you can use the currently available BSCI 1.0 study guides/material to prepare for the upcoming BSCI 2.0 exam.
As for books, I find Cisco Press books to be far out the best books to prepare for Cisco exams, although Sybex isn't bad either...
Good luck! -

do you know what topics will be on the new bsci and what wont? it sounds like it wont be much of a change, but any info about changes would be helpful. does cisco have a web page listing the changes or anything? I just bought the cisco press self-study bsci book, so im really hoping the changes are minimal enough that this book will cover everything.
