Study Tips for 350-001 Exam

sweetynico66 | 07 August, 2008 08:18

People commonly complete the CCNP exams before beginning to study for the CCIE Written. This is not a requirement, but rather the common path to follow, and it does help to prepare you for many of the topics covered. However, if you think the written is just an extension of the CCNP process, you’re wrong. The Written exam encompasses the totality of routing and switching with Cisco equipment. You’ll have two hours of being hammered with questions that can cover almost anything that can be done on Cisco networking equipment.

Excellent crossover books that I would recommend include:

  • Cisco Certification: Bridges, Routers and Switches for CCIEs, 2nd Edition by Andrew Bruce Caslow - The bible of CCIE preparation.
  • Internet Routing Architectures, 2nd Edition by Bassam Halabi - The authority on BGP.
  • CCIE Prof. Development Routing TCP/IP, Volumes I & II by Jeff Doyle - The authority on IGPs.

I can't emphasize enough that while you're reading, if there's a topic that doesn't seem to be sticking, or isn't perfectly clear, check the Cisco website, the groupstudy.com archive, or ask questions of people you know or have met on the groupstudy e-mail feed.

Download sample exams. You can get it from www.certay.com. The subject matter for this exam is broad, and you want a good selection of material to study from.

There are many great books that specialize in presenting individual technology that represent significant topics for both the CCIE Written and Lab exams. Some examples of these would include:

  • Cisco Press, “ IS-IS Network Design Solutions ” by Abe Martey
  • Cisco Press, “ Cisco LAN Switching” by Clark and Hamilton
  • O'Reilly & Associates, “ Cisco IOS Access Lists” by Jeff Sedayao
  • McGraw-Hill, “ Cisco Access Lists: Field Guide ” by Held and Hundley
  • Cisco Press, “ Cisco BGP-4 Command and Configuration Handbook ” by William Parkhurst
  • Cisco Press “ EIGRP Network Design Solutions ” by Ivan Pepelnjak
  • McGraw-Hill, “ Configuring Cisco Routers for Bridging, DLSw+, & Desktop Protocols ” by Tan Nam-Kee
  • Cisco Press, “ Developing IP Multicast Networks ” by Beau Williamson
  • Cisco Press, “ MPLS and VPN Architectures ” by Pepelnjak and Guichard

Once you feel you're ready - sit for the exam, and if you pass, you pass; if you don't, relax, the people around you at the test center will still look at you with respectful amazement, because even attempting the exam is more than they can imagine doing.
