Hey Guys,
Just my opinion regarding R&S volume 2 and taking work off to study full time.
I think the V2 labs are very beneficial. Specifically after completing V1 labs
I forgot a lot of L2 technologies. This caused plenty of frustration beginning
V2 but better now than later. When I started V2 it would take me 2 days to
complete a lab but now I can finish in 6-8 hours for most and I'm up to lab 16.
At this point 90% of my issues are fixed by going to the Config guides and
command references first which is critical to knowing exactly where to go, and
fast. And every time I used the Docs I take mental notes of other technologies
in the guides and read a bit. Also super beneficial is reviewing the labs when
you're done (the next day). It's a big pain when you wanna get to the next lab
but if you don't you're not getting everything you can out of your studies.
I haven't started the V3 labs however I did similar labs in the boot camps. I
think V2 is critical for speed, identifying technologies I need a complete
overhaul on and making the Doc CD your friend. This I hope will prepare me for
a smooth transition to V3 in a week.
Taking work off: That's what I'm doing. I tool off work for 8 months. I have an
expired CCNP and needed a lot of work to get where I am now. This method is
best for me but keep in mind you can study 5-7 days a week but at some point
your brain says "Piss-off" and you may realize you wasted two months not really
learning much. Now I limit my studies to 5 days a week and no more then 8 hours
a day. If I go more then 8 I'll think I know the technology I studied and move
on only to find I haven't got a clue and then I have to study that all over.
Hope this helps,
Brian R.

Does anyone know where exactly in the config guide Mobile ARP is located? I've
scoured the config guide for IP mobility, but i'm not coming up with anything.

I had a lab attempt in Dec without touching Vol2 or any other vendor's
material and did fairly well. My plan for the next 6 weeks before attempt #2
is Vol1 labs and reading the DocCD section on each technology whether I feel
I know it or not.

Jay,
I attempted the lab in Dec as well in Dubai, I think that my major issue was
that I didn't touch a book or lab for 6 months and I wanted to see what I was
going up against. I'm looking to do a good refresher using the VL 1 books, and
then moving on to the VL 2 and 3... I'm looking to do an 8 hour lab every day
for the next 2 - 3 months, reading the doc cd, and revising my notes... I
didn't think that lab was extremely difficult, but there are a few things you
will have to be wary of and some things to look out for..
What drove me to take the lab was the fact that a fellow student passed his
(Zothen... good job btw) when I attend a bootcamp in London with Marko (good
teacher) and I wanted to see where I was...

I thought that the Volume 3 labs were better than the Cisco 360 labs
overall. My company had a whole bunch of learning credits that we had
to use or lose, so I took one of the Cisco 360 bootcamps. The one
thing that is really cool about the Cisco 360 labs is the grading
engine and their timed labs are really nice. If you have access to
them, I would use them as a counter balance to the Volume 2 and 3 labs
to gain a different perspective on the lab tasks. If given the
choice, I prefered the IP Expert materials.

In the IPExpert CCIE R&S 4.0 Video On Demand, Day 2 -- Configuration --Ospf
Basic at 18:43 minutes in the video meets the requirement of Router 5 being the
DR for the VLAN567 segment but at 40:13 minutes that is no longer the case (it
has become the BDR and Router 7 is now the DR) so by the end the lab isn't
setup the way it's supposed to be according to "the rules". Sorry if I'm off

instructors would be able to answer / explain why I'm wrong or if in fact the
ospf basic VOD is wrong.

It is very likely that you found a mistake :-). I haven't seen this
particular issue reported before. I will add it to the list of things
we need to correct when we re-create the VoD. Thanks!

If you think you can support yourself financially during your studies then yes
otherwise if you are working full time and studying it is just too much.
