Re: How to prepare for my August lab?

Narbik,

I was in your last Glendale class, I have the 2.0 workbooks, you also shared an expanded etherchannel workbook, a RIP workbook and your new multi-cast workbook all in PDF format with the class. I'm sure you see a lot of students, so i hardly expect you to remember me :) I was in the same class as Ruben, one of your prior students with 2 CCIE's that was returning to brush up, I sat next to him.

Joe definitely pointed me in a good direction with an inexpensive option to gauge my readiness, especially since I'm having trouble identifying my weak points at the moment, and I'm not naive enough to think I have none.

I have every intention of returning to your bootcamp! Whether I pass or not on this attempt, I would very much like to have a formal lecture on the new technologies for the new CCIE (MPLS and VPN). I was actually hoping to have the opportunity to go back to Glendale next week just before my lab, but life intervened a bit on me, so I took this week off from work to prepare.

August 4th (keeping my fingers crossed)

Thanks for everything,
Craig
