Re: TSHOOT or Not?

Hey Marc. A follow up from last nights WebEx session as well- Thanks.

To
your point, and to follow Darby, I would disagree with TSHOOT. I would
advise for, as I'm also considering, the CCIP track. It consists of BGP,
MPLS,
QoS, and ROUTE.
642-902 ROUTE Implementing Cisco IP Routing (ROUTE)
642-642 QOS Implementing Cisco Quality of Service (QoS)
642-661 BGP
Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers (BGP)
642-611 MPLS Implementing Cisco MPLS
(MPLS)

Short answer No, the RS is
completely different IMO.

Would it be worth while to sit a CCNP TSHOOT to
practice for the R &
S? If just for the confidence... is there any relevance?
Maybe I
should have checked archives but appreciate any feedback. Thanks for
suggestions.

Disclaimer: I've
yet to sit the new version 4.0 of the CCIE RS
Troubleshooting Lab.

However,
I've seen a INE, the current Cisco 360, and the Cisco 360 TU Beta
Labs...

I'd
take the Cisco 360 TU Beta Labs when they are ready for sale over the
others... why?

1. 30 Devices - They are also delivered on the Cisco IOU
platform. Same as
the real exam.
2. You get all of the same feelings or
remorse and doom as I'd imagine the
real CCIE lab induces.

3. Kinda out
there... but has anyone looked into their Cisco 360 Account
Portal and seen
the specific labs offered by the Cisco 360 lately?

I heard they were not that
good... Hah!!!

Not true says I.

They are quality labs that deal with:

-
BGP Confederations, Next-Hop-Self, EBGP Multihup, Prefix-lists, AS-Path
Lists,
Local Preference, etc. + troubleshooting and more...
- IP PIM Auto-RP, IP
Mroute, Tshooting for Multicast, IP PIM NBMA Mode,
just to name a few and of
course there are more...
- IPv6 - Umm... enough!
- Catalyst QoS - What else
can I tell you?
- MPLS - Umm... it's in there... even sham-links with the
explanation

Hint: The Cisco CCIE Program and NMC have long been allies.
Take it for what it is worth.
