I used a technology based approach, in that I made a list based off the
documenation cd that included every single item. I had about 10 pages of
protocols and features by the time I was done.
I started with the 3550 switching guide and moved on to the ios
configuration guides, which are all on the document cd. (It took me about 8
hours, just to compile this list) I then practiced every single feature
individually. Then I started mixing and matching features until I had huge
labs built.
I used ccdbootcamp's workbook, but I used the old version which didn't have
ipv6 on it. If you have the time, I would definately check out as many
workbooks as possible. They may cost a couple of hundred dollars, but they
will help you understand how the ccie lab may "trick" you with features,
which may save you one or two attempts.
Next, tell your friends and family goodbye. It will take a lot of time and
determination.
Definately at least buy some 2500s, an isdn sim, and a cheap ethernet switch
off of ebay.
If you can afford it, go ahead and get a 3550 or 2600/3600. But definately
save the ATM for rack rentals. There are really only a handful of features
you can expect from atm on the lab, and these can easily be done with one
rack rental.
I used ccbootamp.com and cconlinelabs.com
And last but not least. Stay on groupstudy. It's amazing what I learned
just from being a "lurker"
If you're ever in the Charleston, SC area, feel free to look me up for some
"war" stories.
Hope this helps!
