The course I have selected this semester is &#8220;Internetworking&#8221; which looks at how routing works\u00a0specifically\u00a0on the\u00a0Internet. I think I will really enjoy this course as it is a break from the slab writing courses I have done more recently and returns me to my technical roots.<\/p>\n<p>The prescribed text though is causing me a bit of a challenge to track down, with a choice between:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>CCNP1: Advanced Routing companion guide, CISCO press, 2ed. ISBN 1-58713-135-8,&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>CCNP Self Study, CISCO press. ISBN 1-58705-145-X.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Furthermore, I need the CD-ROM included with the book as it contains a copy of the Packet Tracer application that simulates a Cisco router for the various lab assignments.<\/p>\n<p>I do have a CCNP study guide book I bought many years ago but it&#8217;s not the book that I am after as this book focuses more on the exam for CCNP certification and does not include the Packet Tracer application that I require. Meanwhile, I am hitting up eBay, Amazon and The Book Depository to see if I can find somewhere that the book with the disc.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, if I come across anything that might be interesting to share on a basic level from the course I&#8217;ll be sure to pop it on the blog<\/p>\n<p>Fun times! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just a quick one for tonight .
