Finally it's my turn to write my CCIE experience.
I passed the lab this Monday, the 19th at San Jose. This is my first time
taking the lab so I don't know how it is compare to the 2 day lab. Although
I
do think this lab is harder than the 2 day lab because on the 2 day lab you
need to score 55 out of 75 to get to the trouble shooting part. But if you
were to take the 1 day lab, 55 out of 75 = 73% that would fail the lab
already
(without the chance to trouble shoot). to score 80 points on the one day
lab
is like score 60 out of 75 on the 2 day lab before trouble shooting. And
most
people made it to trouble shooting, pass the lab. ( I guess the one didn't
pass were the one score between 55-60 ) Maybe this is one of the reason
Cisco
remove the trouble shooting part from the lab.
This one day lab is kind of long. Every question is straight forward. If
you
don't understand a question. Ask the proctor right away. my proctor (Jose)
was very helpful and very professional. as always, ask the question in a
positive way. He helped me clarified many questions. I got more than half
of
the lab done by lunch time, but I miss one of questions. I didn't want to
go
back because I was afraid I won't have enough time. around 2pm I have
finish
all the exercises. and that calm me down alot. I go back to check the
question I miss, and It was one simple typo. I noticed one thing very
helpful
was the "ping script" -- I learned this trick from Bryan Cox (CCIE 8305) we
took the ECP1 class together -- after 2 and a half hours of checking my
work,
I'm pretty sure I pass.
Here's the schedule I have for my lab in San Jose
8:00-11:30 Lab
11:30-12:00 Lunch ($10 coupon) get the chicken soup, it taste good. but dont
eat too much or you'll fall asleep in the afternoon
12:00-4:30 Lab
I had a total of 8 hours lab time.
The desk was kind of small about 4' x 30"
I notice some of my routers are still running 12.0 version, not 12.1
I heard T train IOS was not in the lab which is not true. I DO have a T
train
IOS
One of my router was very buggy. After I config one of the routing
protocols
I did a "show ip protocol" and nothing came up. I did a show run and the
config was there. I clear the routing protocol, and still no luck. I was
about to reboot the router then one thing came to my mind. I recall one of
the buggy T train IOS have this problem. So I did a show version, and It is
the exact same version. to resolve the problem you simply need to copy down
the routing protocol config. remove it from the config and pasted back.
WOLA
it worked. so know your IOS problems.
Here's the list of things I went over before my lab
OSPF -
P2P,P2M,Broadcast,non-Broadcast,Virtual-Link,demand-circuit,summarization
BGP -
confederation,aggregate,supress-map,community,dampening,MED,as-path,reg-exp,
s
ync,as-set,peer group,advertise-map,password

RIP - v1,v2,authentication,timer
IGRP - default-network, split-horizon, timer
IS-IS - L1,l2,password,priority, L1&L2 circuit
ATM - PVC P2P, PVC P2M, SVC, CLIP,ATM QoS
IPX - RIP,EIGRP,NLSP,SAP,Watch-dog,SPX-spoof,GNS,floating-static
DLSW - TCP,FST,Direct,Frame,Border
peer,cluster,sap-priority,locaddr-priority,transparent map.
IP Sec - ESP,AH,transport/tunnel,pre-share key,RSA key,CET,CA
Voice - VOIP,VOFR,num-exp,dial-peer,FXO,FXS
Multicast - PIM-DM/SM,RP,auto-rp,dvmrp
QoS - Priority queue,custom queue,WFQ,RED,WRED,RSVP,GTS,FRTS

ISDN - PPP, Multilink,CHAP,PPP,Call back,Dialer Watch, Snapshot
Bridge - SRB,SRT,TB,SR/TLB,bridge priority
Catalyst - logging,permit list,port security,port channel,trunk,
static/dynamic map
Misc - DHCP,NAT,HSRP,NTP,SNMP,TFTP,Syslog,RMON,RSH,SSH,IP-Accounting,moble
ip
Since this is a Routing & Switching lab. I went through all the routing
protocols, not just the command references but also how they work. When I
see
a question on the lab. You would know the exact config you need to make it
work.
If you go through the above list, understand your routing protocols and
knows
the exact config when you see the requirements. I'm sure you will pass the
exam with ease.
Last but not least. I want to thank Paul for hosting this group and I want
to
thank all of the members in this group. You guys helped me pass my lab.
Good Luck to all of you and let us know when you pass.
