Are you confused about what Cisco path to take? Take a look.

Well, I did some rummaging around cisco.com and found this certification matrix. Hopefully it helps someone out.

Interesting. I didn't realize that some of the CCIE certs require experience.

They don't.

Ah, after looking at Ciso's web site I see that this is only a recommendation. The PDF made it look like a requirement though.

Not a problem everyone! Hope it helps you all out on finding you way through the certs. I was personally thinking about printing it out and sticking to my wall somewhere.

There's another forum in TechExams that covers the design track. You'll find CCDA and CCDP covered there.

I have.

Unless you want a track that's basically cheerleading for Cisco solutions, don't bother. If you want to be a Sales Engineer instead of a Network Engineer, then the Design track is a good choice. Otherwise, stick to operationally relevant tracks.

Any advice on good book that helps with network design?

Top down network design is a good choice.
