Hi,
A while back (12+ months ago) I bought the Sybex 640-507 CCNA book (Second edition). Full of good intentions at the time, there it sat on the book shelf gathering dust....until now !! So I've started to have a read through it but was wondering if the Syllabus has changed in the meantime ? Does anyone know the current syllabus for CCNA ? I didn't want to go to the effort of learning all about IPX only to find it wasnt in the exam any more !
Cheers, Tim.
