HI-have just passed my CCNA and wanted to know a good study guide to get for CCNP--checked Todd Lammle CCNP at Amazon but people were saying its out of date?? TIA



Yes, Todd Lammle is out of date.

The guy goes so deep into analogies that I think he forgets to describe the point of the topic, and it is described very lightly. Wendel Odom writes some of the most in depth books I have seen on the subject and I recommend his works.

Since you are moving away from the CCNA and going to the CCNP, drop Todd Lammle and pick up Wendel Odom.

thanks -can you give me a title of his book pls?

My recommendation:

1)CCNP BSCI Official Exam Certification Guide Fourth Edition Master all 642-901 exam topics with the official study guide Assess your knowledge with chapter-opening quizzes Review key concepts with foundation summaries Practice with hundreds of exam questions on the CD-ROM Brent D. Stewart Clare Gough, CCIE=AE No. 2893

4)CCNP ONT Official Exam Certification Guide CCNP ONT Official Exam Certification Guide is a best of breed Cisco=AE exam study guide that focuses specifically on the objectives for the Optimizing Converged Cisco Networks exam (642-845 ONT). Successfully passing the ONT 642-845 exam certifies that you have the knowledge and skills necessary to optimize and apply effective QoS techniques for converged networks.

I recommend caution regarding Amir Ranjbar's book on the ONT. It is a little light in content.

The ONT exam has only been available in 2007 and this exam guide was released in May of this year. I am not aware of any other books for the ONT exam at this time so this book is braving the frontier of being a single book to pass a single exam.

Amir Ranjbar's previous book was a Cisco press exam guide for the CIT (Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting) exam, the toughest of the former CCNP test series. While other exam guides from Cisco press usually are often 400 -

500 pages in length, Amir wrapped up the all-encompassing troubleshooting test in about 300 pages. His recent book, the ONT exam guide, is also about 300 pages.
