    yeah im pretty sure BGP is on the exam

    Not only that I'm 99% sure redistribution will be on there as well (the v3 blueprint talks about route filtering, which typically is done with route maps). And if redistribution is on there, RTBH might be on there as well.

    On the real, I feel like I have to learn everything on the R&S exam to make sure I'm ready for the Security exam.

    ? you Cisco

    just linked up with this other CCIE who consults. ? got 2 CCIE's. I'm picking his brain and passing the info along

    How do you guys feel about professor Messer. I will be using this for my test. http://www.professormesser.com/

    I have been reviewing this stuff all day and it look like what I have been studying for my damn Masters. Complete waste of taxpayers dollars.

    Redistribution is in the CCNP, not CCNA. Key thing to remember is to make sure you use the correct metrics to convert to.

    @King good look on that link. That's definitely gonna come in handy.

    @Valdez, please believe I'm going for the R&S too. Ain't no way in hell I'm gonna go through all this ? and not get every cert I can. If I can do the Security by August, I'm gonna try to knock out the R&S by the end of the year.

    I moved on from networkin

    studying DBA ...SQL AND XML now

    learnin javascript

    mastered hyper-v

    learned a lot last year.

    read all cisco track books twice.

    I plan on going this route also. My wife is a programmer and her schedule is regular 8 hour day time. Hell most programmers I know are like this. I guess I am being picky but I dont see myself doing any night time shifts. I am still going to do my comptia certs just becuase I can have the military pay for them but in the end. Programming will be my end goal.

    If two recruiters call you about the same position, would you interview for it twice?

    If you have your A+ its not too difficult. Just make sure you learn a lot about client support stuff. Windows XP/7, basic Active Directory and Exchange, and Office Suite.

    Not the real name but I am working it.

    http://www.joes2pros.com/index.php This is the website. It is a five part series and it helps you get the 70-433 Microsoft SQL Server 2008, Database Development
    http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exam.aspx?id=70-433

    or a Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS): SQL Server 2008, Database Development. The cert I believe will go to SQL 2012 in August. I have downloaded that book to but I will not touch it until I read all the others.

    I have turned my objectives into going for Data Analyst positions with some security. I plan on building a two-fold portfolio. Database and security.
