Cisco CCIE books – We all know reading technology books can be painful, especially CiscoPress but will also know it’s essential if you plan to meet the requirements of the Cisco CCIE lab exam. Personally, I use CiscoPress but there are many good authors than are not published by CiscoPress books.
This is my list of CCIE reference books with recommendations from members, friends and colleagues.

- Cisco BGP-4 Command and Configuration Handbook (CCIE Professional Development)
- Advanced BGP Design and Implementation
- Cisco OSPF Command and Configuration Handbook (CCIE Professional Development)

We are keen to compile a comprehensive list of essential books that offer the reader good value for money and fulfil the requirements of the Cisco CCIE blueprint. Please let us know or add a comment below

IP Routing – Volume 1 by Jeff Doyle
This book has 14 chapters including but not limited to technologies such as Routing Basics and Concepts, RIP, EIGRP, OSPF, IS-IS, Route Redistribution, Route Control, On-Demand Routing, Route Filtering and Route-Maps.
This is a challenging book providing the reader with an in-depth understanding of the technologies.
IP Routing – Volume 2 by Jeff Doyle & Jennifer DeHaven
This book has 9 chapters including but not limited to technologies such as EGP, BGP, NAT, IP Multicast, IPv6 and Router Management.
This is also a challenging book providing the reader with an in-depth understanding of the technologies with nearly 300 pages dedicated to BGP.
CCIE Routing & Switching – Certification Guide (Fourth Edition)
Author: Wendell Odom, Rus Healy, Denise Donohue
This book has 20 chapters and covers all technologies in the CCIE R&S Written Exam.
I am not going to tell you that this book with just over 1000 pages provides the reader with the knowledge and a deep understanding of the technologies required to pass the lab exam or that it is the only book you’ll ever need; that would be an misrepresentation of the book. However, this book, for many other reasons, is still a good book and I use it regularly as a very useful quick reference guide.
