in CCNP
Hello,

I was looking at gettting my CCNP and have a few questions. Whcih exam should I take first, the 642-801 or 642-811? Also what is a good book to study for the exam? I have heard that the Cisco Press BSCI book by Claire Gogh is not so good, so i was looking for an alternate book.

Thanks

    Wow... Clare Gogh not good!!! She is one of the leading people in the field. But, thats just IMHO. I would stick with the basics and go for the Cisco Press and read the Sybex first.

    Thanks,

    but can you recommend a Cisco Press book? I look into the Sybex books and as far as i can tell they only offer one massive book for the entire CCNP Cert.

    Thanks

    I concur with that, thats the main book I am using right now. I would stick with CiscoPress books for the meat and taters, and supplement that with other publications.

    No simulations, no software included with the book.

    Like johnnynodough said, there's is no simulation included in the book.

    So far, i like this book, not too hard to understand and contains very good explanations. Maybe someone who passed BSCI with this book could tell us more.
