Good evening!
After seven months of grueling and intense study, I managed to pass the CCIE
Lab on Monday, October 1st at San Jose.
My study routine was very similar to many others', so I won't repeat
everything that has been said many times in the past. One thing that few
people mention and that I highly advise others to use during the test are
aliases for frequently used commands. A good way to get into the habit of
using aliases is to first commit them all to memory, and then to type the
complete list before starting any sort of practice lab. Also, get to the
point of where you can type out the entire list (my list had about 60 lines)
in a couple minutes.
Another thing that I found very helpful was having my own rack to practice
on. Even if you don't have enough money saved up for entire rack of
equipment, you can always open a few credit card accounts :). The though of
debt really scared me when I first started buying the equipment, but as I
look back on the decision that I made, I have absolutely no regrets. I just
thought of it as an investment.
I am also currently searching for a new and more challenging job. If anyone
knows of any open positions, I'd love to hear about them. Since I'm thinking
about persuing the CCIE C&S cert, an ISP would be ideal, but I'm still open
to other types of companies.
In addition, this was my first attempt, so I have no way of comparing the
one day lab with the two day lab. Also, please don't email me with questions
about the one day lab. I don't want to risk breaking the NDA.
Good luck everyone!
Sincerely,
Brian Dignan
