Hi Curtis,

One thing I would recommend is to contact Cisco and schedule a time to
take
a tour of the lab. I did this and it helps take away some of the "fear
factor" that some have going to the lab the day of their exam having
never
seen the facility. When I was preparing, the proctor gave me the tour
during
lab time and even spent some time explaining how the day goes.

HTH,

Regards,

Hello all,

I was just wondering, for someone who has never taken the CCIE LAB exam
before:

"WHAT'S IT LIKE?"

The environment, the test material, reading the instructions, the
assumptions, the realistic-ness of being able to complete the lab,
actually being there the day of the exam... ...

> I read earlier that you should plan on having full reach ability
before lunch?

> Should I really know the IOS 12.2 configuration guide in and out?

> Would it help to work thru all the configurations in the IOS
configuration guide?

So far my study path has been CCIE Practice Labs book; an equipment rack
full of 2500s, 2600s, 3550s and 3640s, online Full CCIE Labs and just
about every Cisco Press book that I have collected over the years.

I have been in the LAN/WAN engineering field for a little over 7 years
now. I have very little much to no experience with BGP, ISIS, QoS, ATM,
using the different types of ACL's.

I feel I am very good at what I do know and am very excited about
reaching the CCIE level. I am getting very mixed feelings for the CCIE
from the study group and was hoping to get an idea of just what to
expect.

Thanks a lot for any feed back and for all your time in sharing
information for others like my self to learn and build from!!!!

Little over 4 months before my DAY in RTP!!!!...>>!!
