I am glad to complete the CCNA with 89.97% – With just the Official Certification Guide by Cisco Press. (I just wanted to test myself if i have got it in me to pass CCNA without the help of any dumps… I suceeded!!! )
Long story short – I wish to progress deeper in Cisco Certs & want CCIE Certs (R&S, Security) under my belt. So i have started studying for CCNP with the same formula of Cisco Official Self Study Guides by Cisco Press. However, here are the clarifications i need on how to proceed ahead :-
1. A friend of mine told me that CCNP will be phased out in the month of Jan, 2010 and will be replaced by CCNP v6. I didn’t believe him & searched on cisco Website & found nothing that mentions the phasing part. However, to my astonishment, i did see a few 3rd party blog sites that it’s true. So, should i wait until Cisco re-vamps CCNP? or Should i pay no attention to all of these & get on with my CCNP studying?
2. Is there a specific manner in which i need to write the 4 exams for CCNP Cert? In other words, should i be starting with BSCI & then with BCMSN & ISCW.. ONT. Or can i start with BCMSN & then do BSCI?
3. What IOS would one recommend for CCNP Cert when using GNS3 (Specifically for MLS)
4. Is it advisable that i complete CCNP & then progress to CCSP? Or can i start with CCNA Security –> CCSP, until the CCNP is revamped.
Guys, pardon me if i am reposting a question that was earlier asked in this forum. However, i have searched enough, but in vain. Hence, trying to brainstorm from all you Cisco Gurus out there to help me with the details.
