I just finished reading a brief interview that Terry Slattery did with Train Signal Training on  Cisco Certifications, Careers, Training and More (link to the interview). As usual, I find Terry's comments and advice are worth reviewing. He discusses the value of certifications as well as changes in the certification process in the networking industry. He touches on various types of training and training resources, and talks a bit more about CCIE, CCDE, and the new CCA options from Cisco.

As I prepare for another quixotic attempt at the CCDE practical, I have collected a set of test taking tips.
These tips are based on talking to exam administrators, reading all the materials, studying the demo tests, and mostly, attending the preparation session given at this year's Networkers.   Of course, I have not yet passed this test, so you can take my tips with a grain of salt.  Your own mileage may vary.

Here is a recap of articles I posted in June to my blog at Netcordia:

• "CCIE Recert" goes over ways to prepare for the CCIE written exam for CCIE recertification.
• "Routing Loops" describes how the use of static routes can create routing loops.
• "Reachability SLA and SNMP Data Collection" looks at using SNMP data collection instead of pings to track reachability in a network.
• "The Case of the Failed PCI Audit" discusses a failed network audit where some devices were not being managed by the NMS
