Hello all, I guess it is my turn to make my announcement. I got my number this past weekend in RTP. #8960 This was my first attempt and thankfully, my last attempt for this track. I would especially like to thank Brian Dignan, CCIE #8248. He was a tremendous help in getting me ready to pass the first time. My company actually promised me 100% support for CCIE training when I got on board but the past 2 years, I ended up without any of the promised training. So I needed to prep with my own fund (meaning, I had to ask my wife for the money) :-) and I needed a lot of help on many subjects that I normally don't deal with every day. Especially on DLSW, TR and IPX.
Brian took the time to explain these technologies and made the complex topics, easier to understand. I believe Stan earlier has already mentioned that Brian has started teaching his own Cisco and lab prep classes in the DC metro area. I also recommend Brian 100%. Anyone that would like to reach Brian can do so at - [EMAIL PROTECTED] As far as the books, I mainly used the same books as others, Bruce Caslow's book, Doyle 1 and 2 and CCIE practical studies. And Halabi book for BGP. I mainly used the free labs, labs from the books and also used lab 1 from Networkforce.com Thank you Paul for creating the list and all members on this list. - Paul Jin CCIE #8960 --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!?
