in CCNA & CCENT
I am re-taking my CCNA exam next month (2nd attempt) and I feel better prepared for it this time.
There is a book in my local book shop that is massively reduced, MPLS Fundamentals: A Comprehensive Introduction to MPLS Theory and Practice. I would like to get it but will the subject matter be over my head?
I know MPLS is only really talked about on the CCIE Service Provider paper. Is the jump to Layer 2.5 switching to great for someone without a CCNP or above?

I recommended MPLS-Enabled Applications: Emerging Developments and New Technologies, but it might be little overwhelming for fresh ccna brain. Anyway is really good piece of book for starting in MPLS. Stay tight! -

Some knowledge beyond CCNA would definitely be a good idea before starting with MPLS. A good solid foundation in routing and forwarding vs control planes is fundemental to understanding MPLS.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

When I get downtime at work I like to read online articles, typically about linux, security, and networking....man MPLS is super interesting! Of course I had to branch out to other technologies being referenced to understand what is going on but I think I might understand it better than some of our network people
