Hiriam,
If this isn't a joke and you're being serious, you need to start
with Cisco basics, and work your way up. To even consider taking the
CCIE lab with 30 days of experience with Cisco is so insane, words
escape me. Take the CCNA test. See how you do. The CCIE lab exam
takes all the CCNA topics, adds about twice as many, and covers each
topic in 5 times the detail. Now cram all of that into an 8 hour exam,
where 90% of the people who take it the first time fail. This includes
many people who've been working with Cisco and networking in general for
years. Comparing the MCSE to the CCIE is like comparing a 6th grade
spelling test to a master's degree thesis on quantum physics...

Hi Group,
I just complete my MCSE+I and now I have need for CCIE. I have joined
group
because I must have CCIE in 30 days, maybe I can wait for 45 days, but
no
longer. I want to finish before May starts, for I have futbol league to
play
in then. If I get the CCIE in 30 days, then maybe I try for a second in
the
next 15 days. I need to get CCIE so I can make a bigger money. I hear
this
is
a good group for to join.
The MCSE have many more tests so I think CCIE may not be as difficult as
I
hear. One day I pass two exams, one right after another for the MCSE.
This
is
also "Expert" level certification, just like CCIE. Some people may not
know
this, but a Windows server can be setup like a router. I have done this
many
times. I have very high IQ and can study sometimes 2 - 4 hours without a
break.
I see a question about a subnet mask. Is it necessary to know the
subnets
other than a 255.255.255.0? I have set these networks up many times, and
am
almost an expert with them. One time there were 4 of these networks all
working through a windows box, and I did this in less than 2 hours, and
this
include time it take to reboot servers.
I have bought a router on ebay for to help study with. I want to use web
browser for to configure this router, but I cannot seem to get it to
come
up.
I use the telnet program (From a Windows Server :) to log into this
router
but
all there is a command line. It look almost like an old DOS program. I
hope
Cisco does not still emulate DOS when Windows has been around many
years.
This
could a big mistake for them.
If anyone need help on setting routers, let me know. I will be willing
to
help. Also, it seems Cisco allow test taker to look at website during
CCIE
exam. In the MCSE program there is no help available. You must not look
at
any
material while taking exam. I think it should be fun to have a book open
exam.
Do you think I should get a Voice CCIE, or a Security CCIE for the
second
CCIE
I get. I am not familiar with the differences between them? I did
recently
set
up Security for Microsoft Vista, so maybe Security should be the way to
go.
Also I want to say to Darby. You seem like a nice man (i hope you are
man,
not
woman. if so i apologize). You should try for to relax a little more and
take
care of your health. If you can't get CCIE this week, you will be able
to
get
it next week. I know sometimes you get in a hurry, but your health is
more
important than passing exam this week. Just make up study on the weekend
and
take exam the following week. You should trust yourself more and not
spend
so
much money on instructions. Do you have relationship with your
instructor?
You
seem very close.
One more question. What does HTH mean?
HTH,
Hiriam
