Not to confess but I started studying and had my first attempt around
1999. Let's just say a strayed from the light for a few years after
that. I'm back and focused now and have my first (new) attempt in
November. I can say that the change in content and approach was
initially overwhelming. The good news is that Frame Relay / IP / and
routing protocols haven't fundamentally changed so it was easy to get
back in gear. It's all the new command options and other things that
are making this lab tough for me. Not to mention I think I liked the
old two day lab concept better. Good luck in your studies!
