Joe - good pointers on taking the lab! So did you go back to the beginning
of the test and check all you work? Seems like the majority of us won't have
that much time. Just trying to get some good advice on test taking
"techniques".

Thanks,
Steve

All,

IP v6 may or may not be on the lab. I think you should treat it like all
the other fringe topics. KNow the very basics and where to find it on the
Doc CD.

I cannot stress enough the impotance of spending most if not all of your
time concentrating on the core topics. Regardless of what fringe topics are
on your specific lab, if you know the core like you should, you will be
finished with it by lunch. This will leave you all afternoon to configure
and lookup the fringe topics.

Core: Switching, FR, ATM, ISDN, All IGPs, Redis, BGP

There is no reason for anyone to lose any points here. This will be 65 - 70
points. Don't lose any points here and you only need to get 1/3 of the
remaining points; the fringe topics, including IPv6.

I'm not saying don't study the fringe. Just don't waste too much time on
it. Especially if you know the core cold.

Almost as important as knowing the core is saving time to check your
configs. YOU MUST LEAVE TIME TO CHECK YOUR CONFIGS. You will be amazed at
how many small, silly mistakes you made. I finished all configs by 1:30. I
stayed til 4:30 checking configs over and over again. I found mistakes even
on my third pass through everything; as late as 4:20 I found mistakes.

My point: Don't spend more than a couple hours on IPv6, know the core, and
leave time to check configs.

(stepping off my soapbox)

Good Luck to All,

Group,

IPv6 is being taught (albeit very lightly) in the CCNP track now, so I would
expect to see in on the CCIE lab very shortly. The "T" trains are fair game
in the lab, so if 12.2 T supports IPv6 I would at least go into the lab
knowing the basics and where to find it on the Doc CD.

HTH,
