Hello Everyone
I'm looking for a study partner ( 1 or 2 ) to jump on board with
me for the CCIE R&S Lab. The purpose of me seeking a Study Partner will
be mainly for motivation ( like Gym Partners), and secondary for hashing
stuff out.
I require you to be dedicated to the end goal, which will be sitting
the Lab sometime in July 09 ( or later if you would like, as long as you
keep up with my studying schedule prior to July) .
Please do not commit to being my study partner if you have not
first committed to yourself that you want the CCIE, and have
acknowledged and accepted the sacrificies you are going to have to do to
achive that dream .
If anyone is interested, please see below what my current attack
plan is, and if you like what you see shoot me a email :)
*** Also, for anyone that might want to ask, Do not ask me for
copies of my Purchased material's (workbooks, study guides, etc) as I
will not hand any out.
*
Details of my Lab Attack Plan *
*First, I will focusing on the specific technologies with in depth
studies of them. *
I'm currently set on a schedule of 2 weeks per technology first
So 2 weeks of
---------------------
*Bridging and Switching ( Weeks 1-2) *
Frame relay
Catalyst configuration: VLANs, VTP, STP, MSTP, RSTP, Trunk,
Etherchannel, management, features, advanced configuration, Layer 3
Tunneling
*
IP IGP Routing ( Weeks 3-4) *
OSPF
EIGRP
RIPv2
IPv6: Addressing, RIPng, OSPFv3
GRE
ODR
Filtering, redistribution, summarization and other advanced features
*BGP ( Weeks 5-6) *
IBGP
EBGP
Filtering, redistribution, summarization, synchronization, attributes
and other advanced features
*
IP and IOS Features ( Weeks 7-8) *
IP addressing
DHCP
HSRP
IP services
IOS user interfaces
System management
NAT
NTP
SNMP
RMON
Accounting
SLA
*
IP Multicast ( Weeks 9-10) *
PIM-SM, bi-directional PIM
MSDP
Multicast tools, source specific multicast
DVMRP
Anycast
*
QoS ( Weeks 11-12) *
Quality of service solutions
Classification
Congestion management, congestion avoidance
Policing and shaping
Signaling
Link efficiency mechanisms
Modular QoS command line
*Security ( Weeks 13-14) *
AAA
Security server protocols
Traffic filtering and firewalls
Access lists
Routing protocols security, catalyst security
CBAC
Other security features
Giving two weeks to each of the above,will take me into 14 weeks. I
will use week 15 &16th for sole review of all of the above. Week 17
starts the lab work ( as well as reading recommended CCIE books & Cisco
Website Doc Searching) , which I will perform from that point on. I
will sit a boot camp (Narbik's I hope !) one month before( June 09) I
sit the actual exam, and schedule my first attempt for mid July 09. I
will try to dedicate 3-4 hours of study time Monday -- Sunday, with
moving towards 8 hour on Saturday and Sunday as my schedule permits and
my sanity holds :).
*Now for what I'm using for my prep work , *
I will use Cisco books, IP Expert and Narbik Workbooks, CCIE
Website/Docs, and what ever else I come across that might help. I have
the IP Expert's CCIE R&S "Blended Learning Solution^(TM)" POWER PACK
coming , and will purchase the Narbik CCNP to CCIE workbook. I have
session purchased and ready to go for Proctor Labs, as well as have a
capable PC to run Dynamps/GNS3 Labs for the Technology Specific Lab
Work. I did prefer that I team up with someone that has the same
materials, but after giving it some thought, it might turn out to be to
an advantage that we have different workbooks for a Study Group as it
gives us different angles of thought for the studies.
*
As far as what I was thinking what we would do as study partners, it
would be the following,
* I was thinking of a free flowing structure, meaning for week X & X we
are supposed to go over X technology . So Monday we get together and hit
the main points we think we need to go over, Friday or Saturday we get
together and go over any problems or questions, as well as Tips we might
have, the following Monday the same thing as Friday, then the second
Friday an overview of any thing that might have stood out to us, as well
as anything else prudent for X technology ( Lab tips, Memory Helpers, ETC)
Meetings should not go longer than 20 Minutes in the sometime in the
afternoon, and will either hosted in Dimdim.com, or some form of IM
Chat ( yahoo messenger, MSN Messenger ). I live in Florida so that is
Eastern Time Zone, and speak fluently both English and Spanish.
