Hi all, Just want to tell you all that I finally attempted my first lab on 28/11. What an experience for 2 years in networking line (newbies) after completing
all my NA/NP certification and finally now turning to the lab. I knew I didn't do a good job there though the result have not been released yet (which took a couple of days), it's my first learning experience. I found that this is the complete lab I'd ever put my hands on, all the while I only had 4-5 routers at home to practice. Lots of practice needed to get me more prepare for the next round, which might be 1/2 years ahead. I was inspired by Chuck's story line before I had my exam the other night, and now it's all over. Time is not something we ask for, knowledge keep you going. You got to know what to do when you face a problem, you don't really have a choice. For the last 15 mins before it's over, I knew I will not finish them on time so I'll just stop and review all the question and keep them in mind. They are my first lesson and it'll be more tougher the next attempt. I didn't regret for the result later, I'm just happy that quality of the exam really worth for everyone here to work after. They'll sure pay off one day. One day lab is a monster, with little trouble in mind memorizing the ip address, distribution and routing table, you will soon overcome them. Once the frame relay works, routing come into picture. You have no idea how and what the end of this lab are trying to achieve, putting tons of assumption into the answer though they never work.. you got no time to browse the documentation cd, you can't wait a sec to save your configuration and you can't affort to show run your configuration at all time. Memorizing and organizing every single information is crucial to keep you on time. Luckily troubleshooting is removed from the lab. Thanks to Jeff for putting off my nervous on my first attempt, I'm sure I'll see you again next round. On my way home riding on a bus, the question still dazzle on my mind. The movie played on the journey home, Pearl Harbour even inspire me that getting train to fly a dangerous mission even harder getting the CCIE status. I promise myself that I'll work even harder for my next lab attempt. To all the others coming up with your lab attempt this year, good luck to you all. Never doubt on your first attempt, take it as part of your first learning experience. My mind is empty when I had it also. Have a nice day.
