Something to share with everyone about the CCIE lab exam.

I've got the book : Cisco Certification by Caslow
and have find this book very useful for my lab exam preparation because the
author structure the book into Levels.

Level 1 : Physical : FR,ATM,ISDN,Catalyst 5000
Level 2 : IP addressing, IGP, ip routing protocols
Level 3 : EGP : BGP-4
Level 4 : Non-IP routing protocols
Level 5 : No routing protocols : bridges
Level 6 : Managing IP traffic ( access list, queues )

Currently I have go thru until Level 1 to 3 and I find that the author gives
a very good explaination on Frame Relay senarios :
point to point, point to multipoint and the issues related to each topology.

For those that does not have a chance to play with a Cat 5000 switches, this
book gives a very good explaination on them too...

Another important thing that the author emphazise is spotting the issues,
like for example : RIP over Frame Relay on point to multipoint topology...
straight away, the candidate should spot the issue of split horizon that is
gonna cause problem with RIP.
