Cisco ARCH (v.3) Learning Resource
Last Update: 2016/07/13 – Including link to my new blog post “CCDP/ Cisco ARCH (v.3): Further Readings”
Almost three years since the last re-certification… Originally I would like an CCIE R&S written but as I don’t have enough time now, I decided to go for ARCH v.3 (300-320) instead. Resources are petty limited…. 🙁
