I understand CCIE dial's recertify by taking the SP written exam.
In the days of the two day lab you had to successfully complete phases of it
before being allowed to the next stage of the exam and the second day.
I don't think you got to see the whole lab upfront like today and faults
were introduced to your configuration if you made it to the second day and
troubleshooting. At least now you only have to crap yourself the night
before the one day test ;)
The biggest differentiator for me though wasn't the lab itself, but the fact
that there were far fewer resources available to study from. Very few lab
books or proctor guides, no videos on demand.
DocCD and those awfully big books on the recommended reading list were about
all you had going for you. A lot of reading was done in those days. Having
taken an interest in all this stuff back then I'm still getting my head
around the lab book thing to be honest and still read a great deal.
Regards
Gary
