Book for CCNP Route 300-101

V2 OCG is a good book and it should be nearly enough. I'm always googling and reading stuff so it would be hard to say solely this book got me through. But it is definitely a good book!

Hi Francisco,

I am an online instructor for this course and I've learned through teaching this course that going for a single book is never enough, even if its an Official Study Guide, for this certification you will have to review topics between this two books:

CCNP Routing and Switching ROUTE 300-101 Official Cert Guide

Implementing Cisco IP Routing (ROUTE) Foundation Learning Guide

Something I'd recommend is to download the exam blueprint and use it as your guide, normally if you google for a topic you are studying there is a lot of community driven guides and documentation to help you cover your ground as you go.

If you have some further questions feel free to ping me.

EQ

You need two books or one but with some other resources like video course.  There should be ccnp labs available from Cisco net academy course. You shouksdo those labs for Ccnp exams.

Hi,

So where does one get the v2 book?

CCNP Routing and Switching v2.0 Official Cert Guide Library

martin's right on, i loved the ccnp net acad lab manuals for ccnp.

Thank you for the prompt response.

What's the difference between the v2.0 and just the 1st Edition?

Also, is there a way to get them individually because of limited budgeting?

i'd look into a safari subscription, esp. for the budget conscious.

Thank you both for the quick responses.  I'll check into safari.  I used it before when one of my past employers got it for us.  I think there's a way to be able to read the books offline.  That's why I like getting the physical books.  I can read it anywhere and don't need to be on the grid.  I find myself off grid a lot, and that's when I get a lot of reading in.

Oh yeah!  What's the difference between the v2.0 and just the 1st Edition?

Hi Jay,

The difference between is that v1 = 642-902 Exam (oudated)

The v2 is for 300-101 Exam (current)

You will only see V2 when you buy the bundle of 3 books.

If you buy only ROUTE, the 1st edition is what is inside the V2 Bundle.

You can buy your copy on Amazon

CCNP Routing and Switching ROUTE 300-101 Official Cert Guide: 9781587205590: Computer Science Books @ Amazon.com

Also available on safaribookonline for around the same price if you are able to read it in one month

I personnaly have both for convenience, but on a budjet, I would recommend you buy the paperback version.

Hope this help !
