I will say that I initially thought CCIE Boot camp was a
"CCIE Prep" type company. The CCIE Boot camp labs are very
good. I think the hardest problem for people studying is
trying to think of scenarios outside of their way of thinking.
If you have the hardware, or access to the hardware, buy the
CCIE Boot camp labs. They are worth the money...

Hello all!
I have been studying really hard for the last 2 weeks
(which I am sure all people in this list have been
doing also) and I have a question to CCIEs who have
passed and to those that have gone up to bat.
Here are the key ingredients that I have been sticking
with. Feel free to criticize, poke fun, and correct
and flaws that you might find.
1. Jeff Doyle's Book - going thru every routing
protocol and configs and understanding how each
protocol work. Read the book cover to cover 2 times
2. Internet Routing Architecture - primary BGP bible,
going thru every config and understanding BGP.
Reading the book at least 3 times and going thru the
configs at least twice.
3. Chris Lewis CCIE Lan Switching book - Browsing
thru for Spanning Tree, ATM, and Multicast.. trying to
create individual scenarios.
4. Advance IP Routing - Read the book and have done
the config.. medium/intermediate level of difficulty
5. Caslow's Book - Going thru and understanding
everything! Planning on reading the whole book and
going thru the configs at least 3 times.
6. CCIE All in one guide - going thru configs, kinda
basic but gives some good info.
I have asked some CCIEs who have used the cciebootcamp
scenarios and they had mentioned that if you go thru
the labs at least 3 or 4 times each... Your success
rate will increase dramatically..
Is this recommended? Has anyone used the cciebootcamp
scenarios as a measurement of readiness for the labs?
What bothers me is that you would think that after a
couple of times around in doing the lab that it would
be easier because you know all of the gotchas... I
guess the only thing you would really improve on is
SPEED.
I plan on following the advice and will purchase the
labs and go thru the labs at least 3 times each.
I am also planning on going thru the Fatkid.com
scenarios for good measure and will be attending ECP1
sometime in August.. My lab is scheduled in September.
I welcome all thoughts!
Hamid
