You could certainly delve much deeper into core topics like, for example, spanning-tree stability/convergence. Then again, I only spent five days studying for the exam, since I have some real-world experience. Also, I avoided CiscoPress's Official Certification Guide after reading Amazon reviews (backed by the author of the book himself) that the text does not cover several exam topics--now that's tricky!

I wonder if Sybex will start writing texts for the CCNP?
NetworkVeteran wrote: » I used "SWITCH Simplified". It's an unofficial text written by a CCIE that unquestionably covers the full breadth of exam topics better than the official certification guide, and in my estimation covers it at appropriate depth with good explanations. I also completed the included labs, although I believe them to be inferior for exam prep purposes than Cisco's separate lab guide.

Could someone kindly tell me why my cert listing is bleeding over and not doing auto wordwrap? Thanks in advance.
