Hello IEOC forum
I used to to work Linux, windows and virtualization environments (Vmware and RHELV) and normal networks now I'm working in another enviorement and they are planning to change the Data center swichtes but still conseving the new brocade switches for the san and they will install some nexus switches and I dont have experience with nexus only had play like 1 or 2 hours with nexus 1000v.
I have finished my studies of CCNP R&S (I've to take the exams)to do later the CCIE R&S but i have to deal with the nexus family and I have read that I have to take CCNA DC later CCNP DC and finally CCIE DC but there's a problem only one book for self study from Todd Lammie for ccna dc level, there are not seld study mateial or press book from cisco to study and they released those certs.
All the other study material including videos come from the CCIE level so my questions are:
Do I need to achieve ccna dc and np in order to learn and get knowlege that I am seeking?
Or should I go directly to CCIE DC to learn and get the knowledge?
Are those books all that I need to study based info on learningnetwork al based on CCIE level or I am missing some important books or there are some that will waste my time?
