Hi Keith
Thanks!! Well I am in networking profession since 2001. I did purchase
routopia.com lab 1a only. Again as I said earlier I gone though almost
every single email on groupstudy.com's archive and I have also been
wandering at certificationtalk.com lab study alias. I prepared my notes
from above aliases. My only concept during all this preparation was "If you
know theory very well in-n-out" then hands-on is just matter of "implying
theory practically" which I did during 60-70 hours.
Here is few more things I did:
www.911networks.com/cisco.htm
http://www.bradshawlabs.com/home/home.htm
I got both links from groupstudy's emails and believe me both are life
saver. Both will give you a good idea about quick configuration.
I also went through Cisco documentation CD in-n-out (spent appx 60 hours),
so I can remember where each bit of information belongs so later in lab I
can quickly jump to exact page if needed.
Rest being a Cisco's employee, I got some good presentation slides on
various topics (but someone who don't have them still can manage).
Last few days before exams, I spent on cisco-tac (don't know if there is
any link for non-cisco subscribers) web site and gone through FAQ for most
of stuff like IGP, BGP, Multicasting etc. They do have some good
application notes over there.
Books: CCIE Practical Study
: An Introduction to Internet architecture (The best book for BGP,
I ever found)
: BGP Commands-Handbook
: OSPF Commands-Handbook
: Off and ON (sometimes) Jeff-Doyle TCP/IP 1/2.
There are quite good FREE documents at www.netmasterclass.net (again got
this one from groupstudy's email).
Thanks
-Manish
