At long last the writing for my book is done, and I can get back to studying.
The unfortunate part is that my CCNP has expired, and therefore I must do both the CCNA and CCNP.
So, the focus for a little while will be getting my CCNA. Stay tuned.
The Cisco Certified Voice Professional sits on the same level as the CCNP. Not sure what’s happening to the CCNP+Voice.
CCVP requires 5 exams plus the CCNA:
642-642 QOS Quality of Service (QOS)
642-432 CVOICE Cisco Voice Over IP (CVOICE)
642-425 IPTT IP Telephony Troubleshooting (IPTT)

So, I figure I’ll load [...]
I watched the February Certifications Connect: Recertification video from the community site over at Cisco.
Nothing really earth shattering, though it’s not a bad use of time.
When I took my CCNP, my routing exam was BCSN, which has now been changed to BCSI. The big change here is the addition of IS-IS. The switching [...]
My CCNP comes due at the end of the year. I figured I’d start slowly studying for the Composite Exam (642-891) early, and write it in the fall. Last time I made notes as I went along, this time I’ll do the same but in blog format.
The composite exam is required for CCNP [...]
