CCNP - Route

in CCNP
I skimmed through the FAQ's, and from the looks of it some of the study recommendations are a bit dated.

What would be the current recommended books to purchase for the 642-902?

Thanks in advance!

    Get the CCNP Route foundation learning guide. There is also a OCG but it lacks in depth to be honest. guess it depends on your experience.

    Thanks. I think I will pick up the Foundation Learning Guide and see how that works out. Maybe I will pick up both, but from what I've read in the brief searches I've done is that Odom's book has quite a few errors.

    I think it's consensus in the CCNP forum that you should prefer FLG over OCG.

    Very cool. That looks like a good book to obtain .. I'll probably pick that up once I'm done with the FLG.

    I agree with Routing TCP/IP Volume I Second Edition, as well as Routing TCP/IP Volume II. The Cisco Material for the CCNP Routing Exam never impressed me and always left me with lots of questions. Routing TCP/IP books are my all time favorite Cisco books to date.

    Has anyone read the book by Rene Molenaar onthe GNS3Vault website?

    I love that site and am considering buying the Master CCNP ROUTE book. Any reviews?

    Here's a side by side comparison. And the winner is....FLG.

    guess i will go through the pdf and get an impression tonight.
    let me hear what you think about it.
    And then, I started a blog ...
