hello guys, My 2 year journey just came to an end. I took my 3rd attempt yesterday in San Jose and i just got my score 5 mins ago with good news I'm CCIE # 29606 It was long hours of study time and lab time I couldn't afford a home lab so all i did is rent equipment from Proctorlabs i was able to get physical phones to test. which was pretty good
my strategy was a bit different from what people usually recommend I started with Infrastructure of course switch config all that needed to be done in the switch including QoS, so i could forget about that device then i moved to HQ, SiteB and SiteC NTP, vlans, and then QoS right away after that i started working on CUE (because i know it takes long time) then i moved to PRI configs then i started working on configuring my phones, basic config then i moved over to VM, then UCCX, then all the features requested and at the end i did call routing something that actually helped me out a lot to improve my speed was i created my configs in notepad and i called those my templates, so during the week i didn't have access to any rack rental sessions so i was practicing in notepad i did the workbooks 1 and 2 only once then i was using the rack rental sessions to practice pretty heavily on a tech basis everthing from inside out and every once in a while start adding more technologies that was my experience i didn't know how to approach this beast at the beginning I was reading all the documentation all the pdf's and books and i was getting bored so i dediced to read all the documentation, pdf's and books on a technology basis i printed a calendar and with the blue print on the other hand i marked which days i was going to spend studying X item on the blue print so by the time it was the weekend i could practice that in my lab sessions during the weekend and get as much as i could from the rack rental sessions thank you very much for all your support and also for my study partners from all over the world I'll try to help you to get your number as well, you guys helped me, i'm going to try to do the same have a great day !
