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
