RE: lab no more 12 months.. [7:8509]

2001-06-14 Thread Morabito Joe

Here is the url:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/625/ccie/ccie_program/policies.html


Here is the quote from the site:

Written Exam Expiry 
Candidates must attempt the CCIE Lab exam within 18 months of passing the
CCIE Qualification exam. As long as a candidate attempts the CCIE Lab at
least once every 12 months after the first lab attempt, the candidate may
take up to three years to pass the Lab Exam. However, if a candidate has not
passed the CCIE Lab exam within three years of passing the written exam, he
or she must retake the CCIE Qualification exam before the candidate will be
allowed to schedule the Lab exam again.

Nope, can't find it.  The one change I can find is that if you score less 
than 20 points on your first day, you have to wait six months before trying 
again, but you only have to wait 30 days if you score over this.

Can't see the point, their is little difference between these and the 5000s.

  The G's are a little different being classical IOS based.

lab no more 12 months.. [7:8509]

2001-06-14 Thread Morabito Joe

Did anyone catch that the lab must now be taken no longer than 18 months.  I
was looking at the web site and was surprised to see this change.

Has anyone else seen any other changes?  I heard a rumor about 2900 series
switches in the lab.

lab questions [7:8506]

2001-06-14 Thread Morabito Joe

I have seen the equipment list etc. for the ccie r/s lab.  I have a couple
of questions:

How will ISDN be simulated?  If a simulator (ie Teltone) is used, will we be
required to know how to configure it?

How will frame relay be simulated?  Is that provided by the lab or will we
have to configure a router as a frame relay switch?

Please answer within NDA.  Thanks.

Is it really worth it? "CCIE" [7:5725]

2001-05-24 Thread Morabito Joe

Hi,

I want to ask a question to those already CCIEs.  Is it really worth it?
Don't get me wrong, I love the work and the learning.  I actually plan to
take the lab by july of next year, but how has your life changed since
obtaining your ccie?  Was it what you expected?  Better or worse?

Please share your life experience after reaching the big goal.  Personally I
can't wait to achieve CCIE status.

Thanks.

Joe Morabito

lab-troubleshooting [7:5033]

2001-05-18 Thread Morabito Joe

Without disclosing much as per NDA, is the troubleshooting portion similar
to the setup.  The lab setup requires you to perform certain configs in
certain times.  Is troubleshooting similar, or do you just walk in and they
say "o.k. now find out what is wrong and fix it..."

Thanks.

any atm left? [7:4551]

2001-05-15 Thread Morabito Joe

With cisco taking atm lane out of the lab, will we be required to connect to
any atm devices?

I am wondering because I am almost done with my lab and would like to know
if I need an atm equipment.

Thanks
