> Cisco gives me a number... I am CCIE since last Wednesday... after

>
>
>
> I've seen a Cisco router for the first time in 1995. Because of my
> predilection to Linux, I've found simple the configuration of those
> devices.
>
> Later, in my job, I've practiced Cisco technologies and passed
associate
> and professional certification levels.
>
> My colleagues make me confident on my skills and I start this long
> journey in December 2002.
>
> September 2003: My first attempt. I failed because of time. No
strategy,
> no real psychological preparation but no regret.
>
> November 2003 and April 2004: I still not know why I've failed....
>
>
>
> After this attempt, I've decided to believe what guys said in this
group
> about IE and NMC.
>
> I bought IE workbook 1 and do labs alone, reading the forum, comparing
> my answer and the solution guide. Later, I bought also the release 2
and
> pay rack times since just 3 of my routers support IPv6.
>
> Finally, I do mock labs... and this was the key of my success, I am
> sure.
>
> I take 2 mock labs from IE and one from NMC. Both are good and I
> recommend those labs to every body.
>
> The most important element of those labs is the one to one rendezvous.
> This is the time to fix your errors, to understand what the lab is
> asking for, to know how the lab is graded.
>
> I don't get 80% score for these labs but after the last one and my
> discussion with Brian, I know that I was ready.
>

>
> I want to thank:
>
> - Indy, the graceful and charmed Indy Teller of NMC
>
> - Askadinov, for making me beta tester for his IPv6 (so hard - level
2)
> lab (NMC)
>
> - Brian McGahan: this guy knows exactly what you need to get your
> number. His advices and recommended strategy had served me during the
> real lab.
>
> - And all guys of this group. Questions posted are always interesting.

>
> Guys, this is a great achievement for a man born in Benin and living
in
> Senegal!

>
> Now, it is time to restart my life, to retrieve my beloved wife and
have
> children!!
