I've decided to take the written exam for the Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert certification again, for the 3rd time.
The first time was in 1994. I passed it without much study or effort. I believe it cost $150 back then.
The second time was in 1999. I passed it at that time without much effort either. The cost might have been $200, maybe $250. I spent numerous hours and dollars studying for the Lab Exam, making some extreme sacrifices.
This time is different, the test looks like it's gotten more complex, may be asking more in-depth questions, and has gotten more expensive ($400)
So, I will use this blog as my study board, research the questions that are asked, and present the answers (or maybe ask questions to the audience)
First - the guidelines/blueprint is here

The Topic Guide is here, it may require a CCO (Cisco Content Online)
http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/exams/docs/400-101_ccieRS.pdf
There are 6 major topics:
1.0 Network Principles 10%
2.0 Layer 2 Technologies 15%
3.0 Layer 3 Technologies 40%
4.0 VPN Technologies 15%
5.0 Infrastructure Security 5%
6.0 Infrastructure Services 15%
The detail of these can be overwhelming - I'm lucky to have daily exposure and practice on many of them here at work.
I'm looking at some books as study material and will provide the reviews here for what I decide to purchase.
