Free Study Materials?

Does anyone have any recommendations or links to sites that offer free training?

I have my books, I have my guides, Jeremy's CBTNuggets, but I was wondering what else is out there... what else is free?

I was watching these videos:
CCNP ROUTE DVD Certification Exam Video Boot Camp CBT

until I realized it only lets you watch so many videos before it asks you to purchase it.

I just dont have $97 at the moment.

Thanks in advance.

    Cisco docs and gns3 vaults. Cisco has some very good documentation.

    Apart from that most people use the FLG, CBTs and the Lab manual, all of which arent free as you probably know.

    its funny that you mentioned it because I was just about to post it. I came across gns3vault about a week ago, and just remembered it lastnight.

    looks like some great stuff.

    thanks.

    Here are the links to the Cisco Networking Academy official Lab Manuals fro ROUTE, SWITCH and TSHOOT. I can't speak for the others, but if you become very familiar with the labs for ROUTE in the manual, you will do well on the ROUTE exam.

    Here is a link to Cisco's TAC training for IP routing with free online sims

    Maybe we should start a sticky for free CCNP materials? icon_smile.gif
    Cisco was my first networking love, but my "other" router is a Mikrotik...

    I'm more than sure these links have already been posted somewhere, but I'll post them again.

    INE's site and blog has a lot of free and useful information. Most of it is geared toward CCIE, but some are really worth a read. All of Petr Lapukhov's blogs are really good. The spanning-tree blogs are awesome.

    yeah thats a fail on my part. I didnt even bother to do a search. Not that I'm lazy, just got alot going on and it slipped my mind.

    a sticky would be GREAT. In fact thats the first place I looked!

    I have the labs in pdf format for ROUTE,TSHOOT,SWITCH... and I have the Lab Manuals and books.

    Just when I need a break from the books/labs, I like to have videos to watch to switch things up. (no pun intended).
