Hi, let me introduce myself, I’m half-way through my CCNP/DP studies and I’m shooting for passing the IE written by mid-December. I also have some real-world experience and expect to post here frequently as I start my CCIE studies. (Hopefully more answers than questions hehe) I’m currently studying for my switching exam on the CCNP track and I’ve been buying equipment to complement my CCNP studies and to eventually prepare for the CCIE lab. Now I’ve read that there are “CLI” based switches and IOS based switches, the catalyst 5000 series is one of the CLI based switches and I believe this is the switch they use in the CCIE lab. It looks like I may just buy the Interactive Mentor for my switching studies, does anybody think that this would be a better value than practicing on an “IOS” based switch and trying to relate IOS commands to the “CLI” commands? Down the road I’m also going to get training, which should cover some hands-on for “CLI” switches anyway. Would this be adequate to do well on the switching portions of the CCIE lab? How emphssis is there on switching compared to the other technologies tested? All responses appreciated, Thanks! - Ryan Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=10562&t=10562 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
