CCIE Lab attempt 3/12/2012 - Failed

Hi GS folks,

I tripled my score on troubleshooting from last year's attempt. I only
answered 8 of the 10 tickets....the other 2 were too complex for me to
handle in the time allowed....the tshoot pod shut down at 2 hours.

The config portion was going fairly well around lunch time (so I thought), I
was moving along at an O.K. pace, but after lunch I rebooted my routers to
test out everything and lost core connectivity to the greater part of the
network....took me about 90 minutes to get it back to where it was prior to
lunch. Was seeing some strange things. (which probably speaks to my lack
of readiness as a whole)....got 39% on config.

With about an hour on the clock I rushed through bgp (left one or two things
undone since I didn't know how to do them), rushed through mcast and barely
touched advanced services. Didn't touch network optimization at all. I
have a huge opportunity for more points as i'm not nearly touching what I
could, but that will come with time, study, practice and prayer. I'm
already looking forward to KILLING, ahhrrm, taking the test again sometime
in the future.

Wishing you all the best in your pursuit to CCIE.and looking forward to
swapping labels, ahhrmm, ideas with you all in the future. J
