    I usually hang out on 224.0.0.10 (FF02::A) and 224.0.0.5 (FF02::5) when I'm in a non-proprietary mood.

    Man, I am really excited. I am enjoying the book I am currently reading right now. I am currently reading Jeff Doyle's Routing TCP/IP.
    Any tips you have for CCNP journey?

    Make sure you know how to get around SDM.

    Thanks for that :) although I don't really link using gui front ends of stuff, I am forced to learn the SDM... icon_sad.gif I'd rather be hammering away at the cli...

    As for the CCNP Journey, I did the ROUTE then the SWITCH and at last the TSHOOT, I found it a lot easier to study for the ROUTE than the switch because I get ALOT of practice on our eigrp Cisco network :)

    The SWITCH exam was okay for me because I had a few high end catalyst switches lying around the office. I don't know what your lab scenario is like but if you are using GNS3 for your routing it will do fine, as for switching I would advise you to find a cheap switch on ebay for the L2 security topics for the switch exam (private vlans etc...)

    The TSHOOT was AWESOME!!! By far the most awesome exam I have sat for (and I've sat for quite a few...)

    Hope this helps :)

    David
