> Hi,

> I successfuly completed my CCIE lab exam last Wednesday at San Jose. This

> I would like to express my gratitude to those who actively participated

> list. I would like to share my perspective of the exam within the NDA.
>
> None of my drawings was taken. The lab proctor was very helpful during

> As has been expressed by a number of paricipants in this forum, it is

> Time management is extremly important -- it is better to invest your time

> Remember some topics are more important than others -- not because of the

> them. This are layer 1 and layer 2 issues such as physical connectivity,
> Frame Relay configuration, ATM and Catalyst Switch configuration (eg.
> VLAN setup). During your preparation for the lab exam, make sure that you
> completely understand this topics. You will not be able to configure
> routing and routed protocols, without properly configured Layer 1 and
> Layer 2 protocols.

> VoIP, ATM and VPN were all on the exam. But they weren't the most
> difficult areas. It is important to note that the list of Cisco boxes that
> you can possibly configure in the lab exam is limited to Cisco 2500,
> 2600, 3600, 4000, 4500 and Catalyst 5000 (as per CCO). It does not include
> MC3600, LS1010 or PBX. MC3600 supports VoFR and VoATM. But, to my
knowledge,
> Cisco 3600 supports only VoIP.
>
> While preparing for the CCIE lab exam I used the following books.
>
> 1. Cisco Certification: Bridges, Routers and Switches for CCIEs (Caslow)
> 2. CCIE Professional Development -- Routing TCP/IP Vol. I (Doyle, Cisco
> Press).
> 3. CCIE Fundamentals: Network Design and Case Studies (Cisco Press)
> 4. Internet Routing Architectures (Halabi, Cisco Press)
> 5. All-In-One CCIE Lab Study Guide (Hutnik and Satterlee, McGraw Hill).
>
> CCIE Fundamentals (#3) is available online on the CCO. Use the following
> two URLs to access it.
> http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/idg4/index.htm
> http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ics/index.htm
>
> In addition to the above listed books I have also read most of the IOS
> configuration guides from manual, CCO or UNIVERCD.
>
> Moreover, there are other useful books that I haven't read. You can
> search Amazon.com using the keyword "CCIE" and look for customer comments
> and ratings. I have found that the comments and ratings are really
> genuine and mostly reflect my opinion.
>
> I haven't taken any of the courses nor purchased any of the labs.
> However, I was able to practice on a Cisco 7000, 2500s, Catalyst 2820 and
> LS1010. Hands on experience is a critical success factor.
>
> The URL http://www.cciebootcamp.com/ccielab.htm has quite useful
> information about the lab exam -- it is a "must read".
>
> I will continue to participate in this forum and try to be more active.
