Subnetting is pretty easy. Get the Todd Lamale book and he has a very good method of breaking it down, its odd if you know other versions, but once you get it, its pretty simple.

Didn't even see this thread. Congrat on the pass.
After I take this GIAC exam, I'm really debating on whether to take my CISSP or my CCIE Security.

*CISSP - Will take less time but I'll be paying for it up front (even though it will be reimbursed)
*CCIE Security - The time it will take to study for both the written and the lab, but it will cost me basically nothing to take and I get racks just for passing.

You command your salary with that.

@David_TheMan is it worth it to take cissp exam before you have the years of experience in the required domains? I read you get an associate of isc2 until you get that experience.

Yeah its worth it. You are effectively a full cissp in the eyes of the us govt, plus its lower cost to recertify as you gain experience.

I see no downsides to it at all.
