Hi, Dear all,
It is my time to make an announcement:-) I was not so active but learned
a lot of from here. I made it yesterday in my second attemps in san jose.
After long long 20 hours waiting, I finally got my congratulatioin email
today noon after lunch. I already lost my hope and began to work a study
plan for my next attempt. Then I got this exciting email. So wonderful!
For the books and practise lab, I don't have special suggestions. I just
like emphsize following ones, hope they are useful for you.
1. Read the doc CD completely. For some not-frequently-used features, you
don't need to understand them 100%, but should know the name, the usage
and the cd locatioin. I have a rough count, around 208 reading in 12.2 cd.
TURN OVER EVERY ROCK POSSILE.
2. Stand firmly before jumping. There must something you don't know or
unfamiliar, but go ahead to fight them, just checked those you know. I
finished the IGP before lunch, BGP and all those stuff I know by 130pm. I
holded myself to rush those unknown stuff, but started to check my config.
Read the req, ping, save and reload. And I did found a big error. If I
found it later, I will lose my mind to debug. Actually it only took half
hour if you are calm. Then I feel comfortable to go further. Actually I
found one related item from cd 5 minutes before 430pm, still key in
command before I left the console. Just cross my finger that it will not
break my previous config.
3. Ask the proctor. If you have any suspects on hardware or some weird
thing happen. You should ask them immediately. Actually my config doesn't
work after reload, I was so frustrated and worked nearly half hour. Then
the proctor told me that I implement one question with a bugy feature. I
was hit! The proctor is very helpful and experienced. They have seen all
your mistakes before:-) And walking really helps me to think:-) I had 2
times to walk to proctor, return back becoz I got why.
Finally really appreciate the people maintaing this email list. It helps
me a lot of.
Good luck to you all.
